 Excellent Show and Tell August 11, 2008
One of the things that is so great about Robin William's books including this one is that she gives you the graphic supporting the text on the same page. You do not have to search for the graphic a few pages before or behind the text. Everything she says makes sense when you see the graphic.
Clear and Practical July 25, 2008
Non-Designer's Design Book is great for someone like me - I knew nothing about design and have browsed the web, but all the information on design is disguised and not really made clear or practical. This book is the opposite - practical advice, no chit-chat, straight to the point and clear writing.
My designs are much better, and the tips on typography were the cherry on top of the icing. Get this book and let your designs grow spectacular.
Great Delivery June 22, 2008

I was very satisfied with my recent purchase for this text book that I needed for my college class. It was delivered on time, and in great condition.
For the new designer May 27, 2008
This book is an easy read, it is very entertaining, and will improve your print designs. It is great for teaching you to refine your page layouts. I loved the writing style too.
Excellent book - fun to read and many useful examples May 14, 2008
Fun, practical, readable and packed with examples are just a few of the words that came to mind as I was reading "The Non-Designer's Design Book" by Robin Williams. She has done it again and produced an updated version of a classic that is thoroughly enjoyable to read. I feel the book was written specifically for me - someone who is looking to increase their Design skills, develops presentations, white papers and other documents, and which them to have a 'professional' look and feel, then this book is for you. Robin discusses the four basic principles of Contrast, Repetition, Alignment and Proximity. If you don't apply these principles, then you are very likely to have a crap presentation, newsletter or document. She also covers the use of color and how the use of typeface can influence your readers perception of you and the document you developed.
As an added bonus, Robin spread included several exercises throughout the book. For me this is a huge benefit - it gives me a chance to try and apply the skills she described. Any book that helps ME improve, is worth the price on the cover, and this book is worth every penny.
All-in-all, I highly recommend this book and found the examples very helpful. Run, don't walk to the bookstore to get your copy.
