Keeping up to date, and educating yourself as a graphic designer is so important in an ever changing industry. These 10 books I personally own, and find to be valuable resources to me as a graphic designer. In this list there are books on pricing, hand lettering, to motivation and lots of branding to really round out the education spectrum. I wanted to include a wide variety so I hope that helps. Each book has its own voice, vibe and messaging to deliver. If you are looking for a good read, many of these have great content by professionals with tons of experience to share. I recommend each on in there own right. Here we go!
There it is! 10 fantastic books you can utilize in your graphic design arsenal. Also, if you have a graphic designer to buy for this holiday, all of these are great options as gifts as well. If you have any book recommendations for me to check out or share please shoot me an email and let me know at derek@derekdoesdesign.com! I am always on the hunt for new ways to educate myself, and share with others. I hope you all have a great rest of the week!
