One of the best graphic design books of all time has been re-published! Almost 20 years ago Bob Gill (who was one of the founders of Pentagram) wrote a book called "Forget All the Rules of Graphic Design", and now Graphis has published an updated version. Why is this book so good? While most graphic designers since the 80's have focused on making things look pretty (or not so pretty) Gill was part of a generation who thought that the focus of graphic design should be to communicate - and be clever at it!
Unlike "Forget All the Rules of Graphic Design" this new edition is small and can be read on a subway. Gill has added a few new examples of his work, and he has revised some old designs (including the cover design of the old book). The cover of book reads "If this book helps only one designer get one original idea, then all of the months I spent putting it together will not have been worth it.", while Bob Gill may suffer a slight case of ego - he has helped many people find new ideas and inspiration.
