Design Elements by Timothy Samara (2007, Paperback)

The book was in good shape, and it was new. The only thing I would advise for the seller for his/her next book sell, is if the book is slightly bendable, make sure to put thick cardboard on both sides in the package. My book was slightly bent when it was put in the mail box. But good book quality overall. :)

I like that this book is an excellent introduction to and discussion of design fundamentals now, but should also serve as a solid reference as a working designer later.

Looking for a basic and thorough introduction of the principles of design lead me to this book. It's purpose fit that need well and it was highly rated by many people.
