This book is a dictionary; where certain art/design terms are given a one page explanation with pictures (hence visual dictionary). A comprehensive dictionary with terms such as abstract expressionsim, art noveau, chroma but it’s not a teach-you-how-to design book. It is a visual dictionary.

This is the first design book that I have read and it is a comprehensive one that covers the basics (as the title says!) but nonethless to be used more for reference. The book covers Composition, Components and Concept which touches on alignment, shapes, colors and themes. You can check out Jim Krause on his website but it’s a pity that there is no tutorial or free stuff on his site.
The second comic strip that I’ve read from this cartoonist. It’s again a real joy as the book offers a whimsical look at life. It started off with a philosophical view from the cartoonist of being an onlooker of life and then realising that he is going through life (and not just an audience). Cartoon characters in this book range from child to man and to woman and what they undergo in life. Always entertaining and light hearted, something if it’s in your daily newspapers will definitely brighten your day. The first of the Baby Blues series and Wanda and Darryl are first-time parents. Their dialogue are really funny, sincere that I can imagine many parents out there will appreciate! Great cartoon drawings as usual and the black and white is no impediment to enjoying the strip!
This french comic is about everything that happens in a high school environment with a myriad of interesting teacher characters. I love the cartoon drawings, the color but the gags are less funny than it would have been in french (cos I’m reading the chinese version). This comic strip is published in 6 countries; Turkey, Switzerland, Portugal, Spain, Greece and China.
