Visual Language for Designers - Connie Malamed

This book promotes user-centric graphics by exploring simple design principles that are based on the way viewers understand and learn from visual information. The purpose is to encourage graphic designers to communicate more effectively and accurately with images. Using a compilation of imaginative visuals from professional and student artists, the author will elaborate on these principles: organize the visual structure; reduce realism; make the abstract concrete; direct the eye; and support graphics with text.
