Product Description
A lot has happened in the world of digital design since the first edition of this title was published, but one thing remains right: There is an ever-growing number of people attempting to design pages with no proper training. This book is the one place they can turn to find quick, non-intimidating, brilliant design help from trusted design instructor Robin Williams. This revised classic–now in full color–includes a new section on the hot topic of Color itself. In The Non-Designer’s Design Book, 3rd Edition, Robin turns her attention to the basic principles that govern excellent design. Readers who follow her clearly clarified concepts will produce more sophisticated and professional pages immediately. Humor-infused, jargon-free prose interspersed with design exercises, quizzes, and illustrations make learning a snap–which is just what audiences have come to expect from this best-selling leader.

After graduating from a 4 year university with a degree in Graphic Design, I get really peeved when I see books like this. Graphic design is not something you can teach yourself in a matter of hours; it’s a form of art that I’ve spent years learning (and am still learning more about daily!).
I did not read this book. After looking through the pages online, I can tell you that this book is not going to teach you excellent design. I agree with the comments made about the poor use of type, which I reflect Williams should be embarrassed by. I am convinced that Williams is a non-designer as well.
As a replacement for of getting this book, learn about the work of well known graphic designers/ firms: Stoltze Design, Tolleson Design, Martin Venezky/ Appetite Engineers, Ellen Lupton, Pentagram Design are some of my favorites.
Also, if you want your work to look really fantastic, I recommend hiring a graphic designer or going back to school. That’s the only way you’ll really learn!

This book is on my 10 list of books to read. I was tickled, not only to find such a book but also to see that it’s in it’s 3rd edition and has so many positive reviews.
I’m a graphic designer with over 15 years experience both freelancing and effective full-time in various industries. And I’m a firm believer that you don’t have to be a artist to be a graphic designer. In fact I’ve all ears a lot of my attention on helping people who may be artistically challenged, and show them they can design too. So this book is right up my ally. I’m certainly going to make this book available on my website just as soon as I read it.

I dont reflect this book is excellent at all. It is too simple, even for a novice…

I bought this book thinking that it might help me design visually appealing (or at least respectable looking) web pages. I’m already an veteran programmer but I’ve permanently struggled with the graphic art aspects of web design. Sorry to say, this book was utterly useless to me because all of the designs were extremely featureless and for the most part overly simple and generally unattractive. Maybe I’ve been spoiled because I’ve had the privilege of effective with so many fantastic graphic artists, but this book really disappointed me. If you are looking for a way to improve the look of your pamphlets espousing the communist ideals of Noam Chomsky then maybe this book is for you. Anyone else who needs to learn compelling real world design principles (and I judge this is the majority of people out there) will find this book to be–at best–a excellent reference on ways to design for clients who are looking for a featureless, no-frills, 1970’s style layout. At worst, this book is a total waste of an aspiring designer’s time and money.
