Actually, I do not find many books like Malcolm book Inside Outside Design, although I think it is very important for computer designer to know how to merge their academic design and visual studies in their work.Malcolm Grear, the writer of this book, has played a vital role in the industry of design by working as a designer and educator for about 48 years. You can find this obvious from the first paper sin the book.The Inside Outside book provides you a practical way to learn how to use the design and visual concept in the design career. It gives you the basic background that helps your mind generate new ideas based on the theories of design and visual communication, such as working with letters and typography.The book includes a lot of images that help delivering the concept described.You can take the easy way in your designs by following the current styles of designs and animations in your work, but this will not give your ideas the excellence. Understanding the ideas in this book will help you create original creative designs.
