Topics that really stood out to me as well-done were the description of the design process (chapter 2), basic type classification that focused on the capacities of the printing technology at the time (chapter 3) a good overview of gestalt principles (chapter 3), and the overview of how to choose paper (chapter 6). There are many other discrete topics that could be of use in the classroom in this book, and since the book was written by multiple authors each chapter mostly stands on its own, and could be assigned individually.
Adobe Premiere Elements 9 Classroom in a Book ebook rar
To represent graphic design comprehensively would require countless books, but for an entry-level book or as a book to review design concepts while really focusing on print production fundamentals, this book provides an adequate introduction. It is NOT a book about history or the specifics of the elements and principles of design. There are chapters devoted to those topics as summaries. Instead this book really digs into to print production fundamentals--an area that needs to be taught but is often left for the last minute. This book would help minimize that and make it easier for an instructor to teach color management, how to create files for print and web publication, and other techniques related to pre-press.
Print production has shifted immensely over the past 10-20 years, and will undoubtedly do so again. Our role as teachers of design is to give our students the skills to know how to look for the best and newest information, knowing that elements will definitely change. This book does that. I would be inclined to use this book for chapters 4-7. Every design book will have an introductory section, this one lacks images, but they are easily found to support the content provided.
Most design books begin with an historical overview, a presentation/summary of the elements and principles of art and design, and a nod to the design process. This book does that and then dives into print production. The flow of print production moves through the steps that one would take as a designer when prepping a file to reproduce through print or web media.

The first half of this textbook is a comprehensive overview of basic design history, introduces visual elements and design principles, typography, layouts, and addresses research and concept generation. This section can be used for both beginning graphic design students and non-graphic design students alike. The second half of the book is far more technical and geared towards more advanced students that will be working within the industry. There is glossary of terms at the end of the text and links throughout of examples referenced. There could be more images used, especially in the history section. The history section could strengthen the link between past and present by adding a contemporary section. It could also include a non-western histories and examples.
Some chapters are more digestible than others. Chapter 2 on design process and chapter 3 on design elements, principles, and compositional organization do a fantastic job of walking you through both verbal and visual examples. The second half of the book is very technical and might overwhelm some students.
Topics are presented in an appropriate order beginning with design history, process, and visual aesthetics (visual elements, principles of design, composition). The second half of the book focuses on the logistics of production and evaluation of content, looking at color management, substrates, and printing processes.

Comprehensiveness: The textbook information on design history, design elements, typography, and design principles, found in the first third of the book, contains useful knowledge for all designers. It has introductory material relevant for foundation courses in design taken by all art majors, not just those working in graphic design. Subsequent chapters become increasingly technical and cover what occurs from pre-press to post press.
The text is written to two levels of comprehension that is not consistent in its framework and vocabulary. You can clearly discern the different voices of the authors as their expertise is more relevant and technical in correlation to the nature of the roles that a designer and technician might focus their interests. The best example I can give is that this is a text for printers who can benefit by gaining background knowledge from the historical and conceptual elements of graphic design in order to better serve the printing industry as technicians and sales representatives. I would use the latter part of this book for advanced design students that will soon be entering the workforce and will need to interact with sales and marketing representatives sell printing services to designers and corporate institutions. This is valuable information, but by the time this content is relevant, the students have already studied the history and basics of design and the creative process.
The topics covered in this book are comprehensive, but vary in the level of detail and intended audience. It it more of a theoretical guide for the design process, and a technical guide for the printing process. The early chapters about graphic design history, process and elements provide a good introductory overview of topics that could each fill an entire book on their own for more advanced students. The later chapters abruptly turn to more technical and in-depth information about printing technologies, from the perspective of preparing completed files for printing. There is very little technical information associated with the design process, and there is no mention of some print considerations that often challenge beginners, such as margins and bleeds. A number of software programs are referenced (such as Adobe InDesign), but without any discussion of the strengths of different software programs and how to set up documents for different projects.
Modularity is a true strength of this book. The later chapters on print production have a more limited audience, but the early chapters on design history and process could be relevant for many courses, and are written at a mostly introductory level. Chapter 3, about design elements, would work especially well as a standalone chapter in a wide range of courses. Chapter 2 is also an excellent overview of graphic design as an iterative process, which would be useful in many courses of different levels.
