Layout Essentials: 100 Design Principles for Using Grids Review

This book is a great guide for getting started on a layout when your are stuck- straight-forward, clean, and simple. Don’t let the term ’simples’ fool you. Tondreau provides a guide on how to use grids to make information fun, flexible and playful- even leaving room for surprise!

Unlike many graphics books (where I just look at the pretty images), I actually enjoy reading the text because it was more than just a bunch of fluff.

I am happy I bought this book. I sometimes wish I had two copies- one for work, one for home.
