I have probed the web for the most highly recommended and best-selling graphic design related books that can inspire and help you as a graphic designer. These books cover many areas of design, including typography, color theory, layout, design theory, web design, business and even search engine optimization and marketing for designers.

“Ooooh, and just in time for Christmas (well, maybe a bit late). I’ll have to have a look at this list.”

“I’m sorry, but these books aren’t much of a resource to professional designers. It seems like this is the required book list for an undergraduate course in graphic design. Hopefully, once out of school, designers will start picking up more useful books, such as the Sagmeister piece, or some contemporary design instead of picking up grid books and Photoshop tutorials”

“Buy these books and practice. Don’t go to design school, it’s a waste of money. Get a starter job and work your way up. If you are any good, you will get a job.”

“Fitting considering I went to the Andy Warhol exhibition in Brisbane today. Was a great look into his life… strange, but interesting.
Great books too, you can see some influence in there.”read more
