 Recommended Design Books Every once in a while this question arises so I thought we could make a sticky thread about design books.
Here's my list:
Kanji Pict • O • Graphix
- Michael Rowley
Marks of Excellence - The history and taxonomy of trademarks
- Per Mollerup
Typography: Formation + Tranformation - Introduction to typographic process
- Willi Kunz
Logo, Font & Letterting Bible
- Leslie Carbarga
Street Graphics India
- Barry Dawson
The Elements of Japanese Design - a handbook of family crests, heraldry & symbolism
- John Dower
The Elements of Typographic Style
- Robert Bringhurst
Look, Listen, Read
- Claude Lévi-Strauss
Man and His Symbols
- Carl G. Jung
At first glance these last two don't seem to have anything to do with design, but they do for me. As a matter of fact I could list every book I have.
If you all have lists and feel like adding them, the next time someone asks - we can just point them to this thread…
peace
