resource


I borrowed Ellen Lupton's new book from the library Graphic Design the New Basics. I'll probably purchase it as it has great visual examples of design elements and principles. I've only read the intro and like Lupton's inclusion of transparency and layers as universal design elements that have emerged with the development of digital imaging tools.
I've always been interested in layers visually and conceptually. I can also easily spend time fiddling around with filters, blending modes, effects, etc., in software applications. Yes, it marks me as a newbie, but so what, I love to experiment.
