DNF at about a third.
I got tricked by the new edition of this book into thinking that it is a recently published volume. However, the information inside is from the early 2000s, which makes it irrelevant and outdated, at least when it comes to technology. Sure, it has some general design tips in the beginning, but beyond that, it's pretty useless. I recommend Design Basics Made Easy: Graphic Design in a Digital Age or Graphic Design School: "A Foundation Course for Graphic Designers Working in Print, Moving Image and Digital Media" instead.
