Title: Before and After Graphics for Business
Author:
Publisher: Peachpit Press
ISBN: 0321334159
Review:

Yet another great book from the folks at Before & After. I have the Before & After Page Design book and subscribe to the PDF magazine. Even with all that, I still liked the addition of this book. It covers the usual business situations like newsletters, stationery, logos, forms and charts. The ideas illustrated and dissected here were found to be light bulb creating. I was able to apply a few of the tips right away to some projects I was working on at the time.

Some of the nuggets I enjoyed most were the comparison and discussion of what typefaces are best for what text that can be applied to all sorts of type, logo creation and thought process and the charts. The charts were not just your average pie charts, but great design elements.

Again, Im impressed by another Before & After project. The illustrations and explanations help new and intermediate designers improve the craft. Im sure seasoned professionals can pick up a few tips too.
