“How to use graphic design” by Michael Bierut


Well written with useful insights into the design process. He writes about a range of projects that he’s worked on with some interesting chapters on identity design.
You can ‘look inside’ on Amazon for a taste.
(I took this book out from the NY Public Library, you can reserve it and request to have it brought to your local branch…when they reopen.)
