Like Helvetica? Like the Swiss International Style? <\/p>\n

Armin Hofmann\u2019s Graphic Design Manual<\/em> (1965) is what I learned out of \u2013\u00a0and if it weren\u2019t out of print, I\u2019d be using it in my basics classes. (right now, I have a few slides made from my dog eared edition as part of a form lecture)<\/p>\n

Graphic Design Manual<\/em> breaks composition into basics: dot, line, confrontation, plus letters and signs. And it shows by example how these basics can be applied to good, clean graphic design: form, composition, typography.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve seen it going for upwards of 90 bucks in some listings. As I write this, there are 22 used available at Amazon starting at $4.10<\/a>. <\/p>\n
