Creative Jolt - Denise Anderson, Rose Gonnella and Robin Landa

This is a book that offers suggestions on how to get creative; from the use of unusual colors to adopting an atypical view. Each suggestion has some sample works.

Not too helpful for a beginner though.. in fact, I am not too sure who it can be useful for but it is an enjoyable read nonetheless.

Design & Layout: Understanding & Using Graphics - David Dabner

A design and layout book that provides clear advice and suited for the beginner. I find myself taking notes on basic design principles for shapes, typography, colors and image. Also a brief section on different design projects such as logo, magazines and newsletter.

There are also suggested exercises and projects for each particular topic. Overall, a good book for one starting out with design.

Chick Comic tract

Saw this at in a Singapore bookstore and found out that there is this Chick Publications that specialize in gospel literature. Kind of cool the way they use comics to evangelize. Another reason why I should get moving on my cartoon drawings!
