Principles of Two-Dimensional Design

Wucuis Wong's Principle of Two-Dimensional Design goes straight to the matter of designing with basic elements (line, shape, direction, texture)and the various approaches an artist can take to develop meaningful and interesting designs. He does not rely constantly on associating design ideas with great works of art, as do most design books.

I had to get this book for a Graphic Design class. It explains the foundation of design very well. I really like it. It's straightforward and easy to understand! I highly recommend for anyone who is interested in art, design, web design, graphic design, etc.

I love the way it explains everything, very easy to understand and to follow. I recommend it to every newbie designer.

While the content is interesting, I feel like this book is a half measure when it comes to quality. Besides the cover there are no colour illustrations, and the typography is terrible, it looks like it's be photocopied more than once.

Pretty good, but author seems to to be focused on 'completeness' as opposed to really instilling any knowledge. That being said, the information covered is very complete.

The book was probably good in 1972 but a little dated today. Simply expected more for preparing to teach a class in the spring.

Useful!

“Good quality” is a loose term apparently. Essentially paid full price for a permanently damaged and bent book.

Great book

thanks
