Graphic Design Fundamentals: An Introduction & Workbook for Beginners (Graphic Design Fundamentals, Tutorials, Lessons & More) Paperback – June 21, 2022

I've been a graphic designer for 17 years! I've worked high profile jobs in the industry, most recently the Philadelphia Eagles as a Lead Designer for the past 10 years.This year I decided to turn a new leaf and teach design to high school students. I was really struggling finding a resource that was energetic, relatable, and just easy to follow ... then I stumbled upon Kris' book! I skimmed it and purchased on Amazon. After reading through, I found her resources on Teachers Pay Teachers as well and I honestly have nothing but positive reviews here. Kris breaks design down into the easiest format, as a first time educator she made my life easier this year and I am forever grateful.She also has some amazing design chops, as a female designer for Disney. So, I knew I was in good company when I found her products and I saw her work.I highly recommend this book, you and your students will love it!

This was a gift for a friend and they loved it.

I am a graphic designer and taught design for twenty years.This book is a very thorough introduction to the fundamentals of graphic design. The writing is clear and friendly, and the illustrations demonstrate the concepts well. This is a great resource for the novice graphic designer. I highly recommend this book.

As a graphic designer, I find reference books crucial in my workflow as they allow me to consult basic concepts that I may overlook despite my experience. Their value lies in providing me with a reliable and comprehensive source of information that I can refer to whenever I need to refresh my memory. I highly recommend that all designers make reference books a part of their toolkit — using this or others.

True to spirit of this book, the examples and graphics designed/ chosen were very effective in explaining abstract concepts. CRAP (contrast, repetition, alignment, proximity) was memorable. The explanation for colors was especially helpful

Great little book. Very simple and instructional. I have a ton of experience with the topic but never want to pretend like I can’t learn more. Kris made a couple points that shined a light on somethings that I hadn’t seen from her or respective before so that’s always fun. Enjoy!

I excepted more. Not that it’s not a good book I just expected more than a coloring book quality paperback book for $25. VERY basic knowledge. Great for a high school student looking to get into graphic design.

I read this so quickly! Well written, breaks everything down making it enjoyable. I already knew most of these rules by nature and didn't even realize it until I read this book. I was so intimated by the idea of graphic design once I opened Illustrator. Now I feel more confident with my understanding of it. Now to master adobe creative cloud!
