Graphic Design The New Basics

Hey!

So, for anyone who's interested to know, Ellen Lupton along with Jennifer Cole Phillips have written a new design book that's being published, out for release March 20th, this year.

For those of you who have had some of Christy's classes, Ellen Lupton is the one that writes pretty interesting articles for design magazines, we've read some of them and we have very much concurred with a lot of what she has written. For those of you who haven't read anything of hers, she has quite a broad perspective on what art and design are. I don't wanna use the word "different" but rather Lupton has an alternative view of what design is all about. I would think this book is worth a read.

I just thought it would be useful for everyone to know about it. It seems to be a pretty basic book, from what the blurb on amazon says... "The New Basics is the new indispensable resource for anyone seeking a smart inspiring introduction to graphic design, and destined to become the standard reference work in design education."

Anyway. If you guys wanna check it out, just go to amazon.
