This book is the way to get started with learning about Graphic Designs. What a wonderful book this is. As a graphic designer, I have quite a collection of design books - this book offers a tremendous amount of practical design tips and instruction. Take a look at the topics covered in the book:

- Newsletter Design
- Using Typefaces
- Designing Stationary
- Logos & Identity
- Business Forms
- Charts
- Annual Reports

I think the most important aspect of this book is that it doesn't just show you HOW to design a report, it emphasizes how to create a GOOD LOOKING report - that's pretty rare. Most design books are little more than instruction manuals for the latest software. Here we have a book that is software independent and focuses on making your designs look good.

The title of this book is misleading, a more appropriate title might be "Graphics For Design" because this book has a wealth of knowledge that relates to more than just business.

I urge anybody reading this to buy this book - especially young graphic design freelancers looking to establish a business identity.

"This is a great and simple book to start with."
