Graphic Design Books

The authors do an excellent job of laying out basic computer concepts in easy format. Would recommend it. The other books on special software was not explaining the basics to me. I guess I expected too much.

Actually, having written that 'title' for this review, perhaps I should recant. In ordinary use, I suppose, when it is said someone evokes an attitude, a mental snapshot of some rapper probably flashes through most minds. Aidan DOES NOT have...

The author states that the Dimention tool is so simple to use it doesn't need much of an explanation. He is wrong. It needs a chapter! One written with more detail and clarity than the rest of the book. If I could send it back for a refund I would.

We are using this in the office and it is getting alot of us over the SketchUp hump. I would recommend this to those who are meandering through the new realm of 3D.

If you need an introduction to the features, intuitive or obscure, in the Acrobat Professional 8 software, this is the book for you. I looked at other titles in the market but none comes close to this book in coverage and ease of use. Pity it...

I am a professional photographer, and I was greatly looking forward to receiving this book.

I was hoping to get some detailed information on lighting techniques, specifically for food. The additional sections on food and prop styling...

I was a little dissapointed in the content of Digital Food Photography. The book, layed out in textbook style, is a little basic for the complexity of the subject. Mr. Manna spends too much time on the "old days" and takes too long to dive in to...

I am a Ph.D. student, and I work with longitudinal and hierarchical data. I bought this book recently and I have only had a look at it. I like it very much. This book presents mixed model methodology in the setting of numerous applications and...

I have being reviewing the book and really respond to the title "Bible".
Each theme is well explained and accompanied by an example.

I'm reviewing the second printing (published mid-July 2007), which has many fewer errors than the first printing. There were only two or three spots where I couldn't get the result in the book, and I wasn't sure if that was my fault or the...

I can ignore the grammatical errors and even the mistakes. However, the CD that comes with the book is missing Lesson 11 on Long Documents. I sent back the first one I purchased to the vendor and received a new book - and it is still missing...

This book should cost about $20 tops, for the amount of detail it covers (not a lot, compared to how complex and powerful the application itself is), and the quality of editing. There are several typos and grammar errors throughout the book, and...

I had my POD just sitting there. This book is what should have been done. In twenty minutes of reading, I was loading,dropping,syncing....Well written,easy to understand. Now to keep all the other IPODers who want to borrow it! Buy it!

Not of particular use to a new user of ipods. The author attempted to do two books in one by using a dule discription for each procedure (Mac and PC). In addition, too much history of why such and such was included. I felt this time consuming and...

I llike the Missing Manuals because they complement nicely the usually formal apple help style and dry manual style. But here the authors have exaggerated with "funny" sentences which do not add information - thus the otherwise IK book could be...

This is an expanded edition of a book first published in 2003. In it, Neumeier develops in greater depth several basic ideas about how to bridge a gap between business strategy and design. My own experience suggests that on occasion, there may be...

A good book if you are beggining in Marketing, but nothing new for experienced marketeers. Is easy to read, with the same old broadly used to explain almost everything examples (IPOD and others).

Acrobat is pretty straight-forward software. There are certain tasks you want to accomplish with it, and they're not the kinds of things you want to devote unlimited hours to.

Baker understands this and has taken the perfect...

As a casual user, I had hoped this book would give me an insight into the capabilities of Acrobat, and the procedures needed to execute them.

But I think the book is aimed at advanced users who already know the program, and appreciate...
