Great if you’re a beginner
It’s great for a complete noob like me. Helps you understand the basics of design. When you look at bad poster and you can’t tell why, this book helps you figure out why!

"**Words for Non-Designers**" is a resourceful guide aimed at helping individuals who are not professional designers understand the basics of design principles, particularly focusing on the importance of communication through design. The book is a practical tool for enhancing design literacy, breaking down complex design concepts into simple, easy-to-understand language. Key aspects of the book might include: 1. **Design Principles**: It introduces core principles like typography, layout, color theory, and visual hierarchy, helping non-designers make better choices when working with visuals. 2. **User-Friendly Language**: The author avoids jargon, making design accessible to a broader audience, particularly people who may need to collaborate with designers but don't have a background in the field. 3. **Examples and Visuals**: The book often includes examples to illustrate design concepts, making it easier to grasp abstract ideas and see their real-world applications. 4. **Actionable Insights**: Readers can expect actionable tips and advice for improving their own design skills, even if they are not professionally trained designers. Overall, it's a helpful resource for anyone looking to improve their design understanding without needing to dive deep into the technicalities of the field.

Les bases du design claire
Peu de principes sont présenté dans ce livre, mais ils suffiront à améliorer la façon dont vous aller organiser les éléments dans l'espace de façon à ce qu'ils soient plus harmonieux. De plus ceux-ci sont présentés de façon claire avec de nombreux exemples et de petits exercices pour bien nous les faire comprendre.

If you need to design material and don't have any training, this is great
I found this book years ago when I was impressed by the slideshow put together by a presenter at a seminar. She told me that she had a previous qualification in design, but recommended an earlier edition of this book. I read it and applied the principles I learned and was able to make much more professional-looking and attractive brochures, slideshows etc. I bought this one because I had lent the previous copy to someone who hadn't returned it and the admin assistant in my new position was producing very uninviting posters and brochures. This made a significant difference and was very much worth the money!

Excelent book!
Often small business or startups don't have the budget to pay a graphic designer, and entrepreneurs end up doing all the design work themselves. I highly recommend this book to all entrepreneurs and everyone who manages their own business fan page and do everything in their own business.

Ótimo livro
Um ótimo livro pra quem não é designer e quer aprender princípios básicos. Eu sou engenheiro e não sabia nada sobre design. Depois de ler este livro as minhas peças ficaram com aparência profissional
