كتابٌ مهم وأساسي لكل مصمم جرافيكي، وهو مرجع دائم يجب أن تبقيه معك.
يشرح كل مصطلح نستخدمه في مجالنا ويفصّله، وأعتقد أنك قد تحتاج إلى حفظه أكثر من فهمه في بعض المراحل.

قد يفتقر الكتاب إلى بعض المصطلحات المتقدمة نظرًا لتاريخ طباعته القديم ودخولنا في عصر الذكاء الاصطناعي، لكن هذا لا يقلل من قيمته، إذ يظلّ في صدارة كتب التصميم الجرافيكي.
