The Story

From the back of the book:

Graphic Design: The New Basics brings a much-needed new focus to the study of graphic design. Ellen Lupton, best-selling author of such books as Thinking with Type, and her colleague Jennifer Cole Phillips have developed an up-to-date basic design text for people who want to understand graphic design in a critical, rigorous way, informed by contemporary media, theory, and software systems. Through visual demonstrations and concise commentary, their book looks at structures ranging from point, line, and plane to scale, hierarchy, layers, and transparency. These concepts underlie any work of design, from a logo or letterhead to a complex web site.

In an age when endlessly quoting and recycling popular media has become second nature, artists and designers are hungry to explore visually intensive, form-based thinking in a manner in tune with contemporary art, life, and technology. This colorful, compact, clearly written volume does just that.

The Response

This covered a lot of the same content as another graphic design book that I have read recently (A Primer of Visual Literacy) – points, lines, scale, texture, etc. Only, Graphic Design: The New Basics covered it in a much more interesting and relevant sort of way.

This book was, without a doubt, written for modern day readers. What with our shorter attention spans, it can be hard to grab our attention. This book covers each topic quickly and concisely, then goes on to show many examples of what it just described. It’s easy to understand each concept that’s presented in this book, and provides such a wide variety of examples that one can see how different concepts and techniques can be put to use in different ways.

Because most of these illustrations were done by a variety of designers – a good majority of them students – it gives a huge difference in styles, which keeps the book interesting.

I will definitely be keeping this book, and continuing to flip through it for inspiration when needed.

The Bottom Line

This would be a good introduction to the graphic design field. Highly recommended to those in the field.

The Story

From the back of the book:

At the heart of this wrenching memoir of a teenage girl’s wartime survival is something utterly unexpected: a love story that blazes briefly in one of the darkest corners of occupied Poland.

Judged only as a World War Two survivor’s chronicle, Millie Werber’s story would be remarkable enough. Born in central Poland, in the town of Radom, she found herself, at fourteen, trapped in the ghetto, a slave laborer in an armaments factory in the summer of 1942, transported to Auschwitz in the summer of 1944, before being marched to a second armaments factory. She faced death many times; indeed she was certain that she would not survive. But she did.

Many years later, when Millie began to share her past with Eve Keller, the two women rediscovered the world of the teenage girl Millie had been during the war. More important, Millie told Eve her most precious, private memory: of a man to whom she was married for only a few brief months. He was – if not the love of her life – her first great, unconditional passion. He died, leaving Millie with a single photograph taken on their wedding day – which Millie preserved to the war’s end – and two rings of gold that affirm the presence of a great passion in the bleakest imaginable time.

The Response

I’ve put off blogging about this book for around a week now, because I really wanted it to thoroughly sink in, in order to get my thoughts straight about it. And even now I’m having a hard time getting my thoughts out for this one, because what I want to say about the book completely contradicts itself.

It’s an emotional and heartbreaking read (as anything about the Holocaust is) – the fact that humanity could stoop to the levels of genocide, and especially of that proportion. But the book is also an extremely uplifting read – that even in those dark times there was still some good in humanity, that there were other Jews and Germans who would do what they could for a young girl, even if it meant they could have been put to death.

It is both a very hard read and a very easy read. The subject matter makes it so very difficult to get through, just trying to understand why people would do what they did. It’s very easy to imagine yourself in Werber’s place, and it’s utterly terrifying what she had to go through. But the book is written in such a way that it’s presentation of the subject matter doesn’t weigh you down. The way that Keller put together Werber’s experiences made it very easy to keep reading – it’s extremely well written.

I particularly liked how the book isn’t necessarily written in chronological order, but takes a look at one of Weber’s experiences, and follows that thread throughout her life. For example, at times it would mention an a specific event surrounding a specific person, and then go forward a few decades to speak about any experiences Werber had with that person after the war, before going back to the period of the war. If it hadn’t been told in this way, I know for a fact that I would be getting a bunch of different people mixed up, and this helped keep straight in my mind who each person was.

While this isn’t the first book I’ve read about the Holocaust, I think this book is a little bit more accessible for readers to really comprehend, understand and empathize with. Yes, it’s good for us to know statistics of what happened in the war, but statistics don’t have personalities, and by looking at the large numbers we miss out on each person’s experiences. Reading this book helped me to remember all of the horrors that occurred during WWII, and has made me mourn again all of the lives that were lost – this is not a topic we should ever allow ourselves to overlook.

Two Rings was phenomenal and heartbreaking, and one of the best non-fiction books that I’ve read in a long time.

The Bottom Line

If you only read one non-fiction this year, make it this one. It is touching and heartbreaking and wonderful. Loved it.

The Story

From the back of the book:

Research gives designers the competitive advantage that brings them into the boardroom as strategic partners and innovation experts.

All good design work begins with thoughtful research. This essential handbook will help readers understand what design research is and why it is necessary, outline proven research techniques and methods, and explain how to incorporate them in any design development process.

Understanding a client’s needs, preferences, and market is essential to creating value through design. As such, a designer’s ability to gather valuable research is as important as the ability to design a memorable and successful identity or develop a complex user interface. By engaging in quantitative and qualitative research, customer profiling, competitor analysis, ethnography, and other proven research techniques, designers can bring solutions to the table thta reflect a commercial value far beyond a well-crafted logo, product design, or building.

In today’s competitive market, designers can’t afford to skip this vital part of the development process. By thoroughly researching the design challenges, goals, and indended audience, designers can’t help but create stronger and more innovative work that delivers true value.

The Response

I picked this up because it’s one of the book recommended for the test to become a member of the Registered Graphic Designers of Ontario association. I wanted to take the test this year, but I didn’t actually start any of the books until… now. So obviously, I failed at that. Boo to me.

ANYWAY.

This book was surprisingly readable. Maybe because it has practices that I can put to work in my day-to-day working life. Maybe because there were lots of illustrations and diagrams showing the ideas that were being presented. Maybe because I actually find the topic really interesting. Usually I have to drag myself through non-fiction (even if I’m enjoying it), but this one I practically sped through!

The book is broken down into four chapters. The first one deals with what different types of research are (focus groups, literature review, etc etc). While I haven’t used most of these, I did know what they were – so that chapter was a little bit boring, in all honesty. Just going over the basics of what different kinds of research are available to use. Anyone who has ever studied any marketing (or done any marketing, really) will know what these are.

The rest of the book, though, was great! The second chapter, which went into actually applying researching methods to the practice of design, was extremely informational and educational, and I’ll definitely be going back to that one for guidance. Then the third chapter covered why different types of people (students, teachers, professionals) need to research when designing, as well as what practices might be best for them to be familiar with.

The last chapter, though, was definitely the most interesting – they were all case studies where you could see how these research practices were put to use. For example – how research helped make the How Magazine redesign go over so well. See? Interesting!

I rather wish that this book had been available when I was still a student, when I was forming my own design habits. Now it’s going to be a little bit tougher to modify them and convince myself that in the long run it’s worth it to do that extra research – that, theoretically, the research will make the project go smoother and have less room for error and bad response to it. Yes, yes.

The Bottom Line

I really wish I had read this book back when I was in college, and forming my own design habits. I highly recommend anyone working in the design field looking to improve their work.

The Story

From the back of the book:

There is no unique branch of design known as in-house design, nor skills possessed solely by in-house designers. The corporate creative is a designer who simply works in an in-house environment. While there are benefits to working in a corporate environment (access to more resources, greater security, better benefits, more regular hours and camaraderie), in-house designers also have to deal with many frustrating and demoralizing challenges.

This book focuses on key strategies and tactics to help you establish yourself and your team as powerful players in your company. Experienced in-house designer Andy Epstein shows you how to: communicate clearly and effectively; hire and train a winning team; work with other departments within the company; maximize efficiency within your group; cut through the red tape to create great design.

Surviving and – more importantly – succeeding as a creative in the corporate environment requires you to be a project manager as well as a designer, a businessperson as well as a creative. The Corporate Creative provides all the tools you need to achieve success.

The Response

One day during the summer, a friend and I made a trip to Swipe, this awesome bookstore in Toronto that focuses mainly on design and architecture books. Among the books that I picked up was this little gem – Andy Epstein’s “tips and tactics for thriving as an in-house designer.” After having a bit of a discouraging week at work last week, I picked it off the TBR pile and dove into it. And I have to say, this is quite possibly the best nonfiction book I’ve read this year. As someone who works as a corporate creative, it was both an insightful and reassuring read, and has helped me get a better perspective both on myself, those that I work with, and how I relate to the company that I have been working for for the past 5 years.

The book covers a number of topics, ranging from communicating with business types, to the importance of having a creative environment to work in (even if it’s just your cubicle), to how to best present your work to get the most respect, to (most importantly) how to avoid becoming disenchanted with working in a corporate environment.

I have to admit that some of what the author spoke about hit a little bit close to home. Especially when Epstein spoke about how designers typically alternate between two typical reactions to working in a corporate environment for a long period of time:

As creatives immersed in the often restrictive conservative corporate culture of their host companies, designers tend to reflexively react to their environment by either rebelling and asserting their artistic persona or succumbing to corporate culture and assimilating so completely that they forsake their creative innovative spirits. Often, the vacillate wildly between the two.

At least I know I’m not the only one who has done that. Thankfully, there were a lot of tips included in this book that I’m going to start applying to my own day-to-day work that will hopefully help with not losing the creativity in the corporate environment, while still surviving in that same environment.

The biggest thing this book helped me realize was that I needed to start thinking of the business I work for as a client – already I have started doing this, and that in itself has made a world of difference in my mind.

The Bottom Line

Definitely a very good read! Informative and not dry! Highly recommended to graphic designers working in a corporate environment.

The Story

From the inside cover:

It often seems to the single woman today as if available men are getting scarcer; but there is nothing new about young women who can’t find relationships.

The First World War deprived Britain of three quarters of a million soldiers, leaving as many more incapacitated. In 1919 a generation of women who unquestioningly believed marriage to be their birthright discovered that there were, quite simply, not enough men to go round. They became known as ‘the Surplus Women.’

Many of us remember them: they were our teachers, our maiden aunts, women who seemed to have lost out on life’s feast. This book tells of their stories: it tells of the student weeping for a lost world as the Armistice bells pealed… the socialite who dedicated her life to resurrecting the past after her soldier love was killed… the Bradford mill girl whose campaign to better the lot of the ‘War spinsters’ was to make her a public figure… and of many others who reinvent themselves.

Tracing their fates, Virginia Nicholson shows how the single woman of the inter-War decades had to stop depending on a man for her income, her identity and her happiness. Some just endured; others challenged the conventions, fought the system, found fulfillment. Singled Out pays homage to a remarkable generation of women. They were changed by war; in their turn they helped change society. These pages offer some of their solutions, and also some of their consolations.

The Response

Have I mentioned lately how much I love books relating in almost any way to WWI? Normally, I stick with books that somehow had something to do with Canadians, so the different perspective was a nice change. It’s also a topic that I’m not overly familiar with – all of the women who were forced to make their own way in life because so many of their men died in the war. It’s tragic and heartbreaking and extremely powerful. These women took what they were given in life, and made the world a much better place for all of us women coming after them – those women who wanted to be archeologists, politicians, business women, women who didn’t settle for life as a stay-at-home wife. It’s hard to imagine how different this world could have been without them.

Parts of the book are very inspirational. As someone who was serially single for almost her whole like before meeting my current bf, it was awe inspiring to see what these women were able to accomplish. It was also easy to see how some women may have felt heartbreak and destitute in their situation. But the strength that they showed to push through and live a full life even when everything that they expected from life was ripped from them… very cool.

So the stories in this book were awesome. I’m wondering, though, how much the narration did for me. See, it always takes me so long to read non-fiction. I think this is why I don’t read more of it. I want to, I really do, but when it takes over a month to get through one book… well, it’s a little daunting, you know? (Does anyone else have this problem?) Anyway, this book seemed to take a little bit longer than normal, and I think it was because of the fact that I didn’t particularly like the way Nicholson related the subject.

One thing that I know for sure I didn’t like about this book was how much Nicholson seemed to depend on novels as being an insight to the author’s own thoughts and feelings in regards to single women after WWI. Yes, they sometimes can. But sometimes they aren’t… Are we just supposed to assume that because a single woman author wrote about a single woman that it’s autobiographical?

Anyway, aside from that, the subject matter was highly interesting, and I am certainly very glad that I did read this – I learned a lot more about a subject that interests me than I had previously known, and I’m happy to have learned about some of the women who had a hand in making my present career path possible, and not just some future where I’m expected to stay in the home.

The Bottom Line

Good read. Educational. Interesting. Recommended to those who enjoy women’s studies.

The Story

From the back of the book:

Merchants of Doubt has been praised — and attacked — around the world, for reasons easy to understand. This book tells, with “brutal clarity” (Huffington Post), the disquieting story of how a loose-knit group of high-level scientists and scientific advisers, with deep connections in politics and industry, ran effective campaigns to mislead the public an deny well-established scientific knowledge over four decades. The same individuals who claim the science of global warming is “not settled” have also denied the truth about studies linking smoking to lung cancer, coal smoke to acid rain, and CFCs to the ozone hole. “Doubt is our product,” wrote one tobacco executive. These “experts” supplied it. Merchants of Doubt rolls back the rug on this dark corner of American science.

The Response

This… was a very emotional read. I went from being disappointed in parts of humanity, to being frustrated and annoyed, to being extremely pissed off, and back again. Hrmph.

I think what struck me most about Merchants of Doubt was how much it was showing the general public and media were being manipulated by a select few people. And how the manipulation was happening – whether it was through the tobacco industry funding scientific studies that would give them evidence they wanted to provide doubt as to whether smoking actually harms a person, or whether it was so-called experts about a topic completely disregarding and disagreeing with scientific fact when speaking with politicians who could further their causes. When there were scientists who tried to educate the masses about the truth on any of the subjects covered in the book (whether smoking kills, SDI, acid rain, the ozone hole, secondhand smoke, global warming and pesticide use), these scientists would be attacked and made to look like they were in the wrong or were trying to stir up a panic.

It’s just… mind boggling to understand WHY someone would want to hide the truth from the world about serious topics like these ones.

What am I taking away from this book? To always look into what the “experts” quoted (or authoring books/articles/studies/etc) are experts of. To look into what their angle may be, how what they are saying really benefits them. To look into what real experts say. To not always just accept what is being said because it is what the mass media tells us is the truth.

One of the ideas I struggled with at college was knowing that as a graphic designer, I had to get across the message that my client wanted to portray, even if I didn’t agree with this message. We spoke about, in one of my electives, how ethical is it to advertise to children, and in a way this reminds me quite a bit of that – how ethical is it to be promoting the message that there’s still debate on these issues when in the scientific community there really wasn’t any debate at all.

Because that’s exactly what these select few people did – promoted the idea that there was a debate about smoking, global warming, acid rain, the ozone hole, etc, when the scientific community accepted the evidence as fact that these issues were real. And those who were saying there was debate weren’t even experts in the fields where these issues were researched. It’s quite frustrating to read about that and wonder WHY on earth they would do it – and why the media accepted what these “experts” had to say.

And it’s frustrating to see that it’s the same group of people throughout the whole book who would attack other scientists, who would manufacture doubt about serious issues that we’re facing. I ended up underlining and marking off a good portion of passages in this book. In finishing this post, I wanted to share one that explains a bit about what this small group of people did, and who they were:

For half a century the tobacco industry, the defenders of SDI and the skeptics about acid rain, the ozone hole, and global warming strove to “maintain the controversy” and “keep the debate alive” by fostering claims that were contrary to the mainstream of scientific evidence and expert judgement. They promoted claims that had already been refuted in the scientific literature, and the media became complicit as they reported these claims as if they were part of an ongoing scientific debate. Often the media did so without informing readers, viewers, and listeners that the “experts” being quoted had links to the tobacco industry, were affiliated with ideologically motivated think tanks that received money from the tobacco industry (or in later years the fossil fuel industry), or were simply habitual contrarians, who perhaps enjoyed the attention they got promoting outlier views.

The Bottom Line

This was a tough read. But it’s a good and educational read. Would recommend it to those still wondering about the truth in any of the topics covered in it.

The Story

From the back of the book:

Responding to the need she so clearly perceives, Ms. Dondis, a designer and teacher of broad experience, has provided a beginning text for art and design students and a basic text for all other students-those who do not intend to become artists or designers but who need to acquire the essential skills of understanding visual communication at a time when so much information is being studied and transmitted in non-verbal modes, especially through photography and film. Understanding through seeing only seems to be an obviously intuitive process. Actually, developing the visual sense is something like learning a language, with its own special alphabet, lexicon, and syntax. People find it necessary to be verbally literate whether they are “writers”: or not; they should find it equally necessary to be visually literate, “artists” or not.

This primer is designed to teach students the interconnected arts of visual communication. The subject is presented, not as a foreign language, but as a native one that the student “knows” but cannot yet “read.” The analogy provides a useful teaching method, in part because it is not overworked or too rigorously applied. This method of learning to see and read visual data has already been proved in practice, in settings ranging from Harlem to suburbia.

Appropriately, the book makes some of its most telling points through visual means. Numerous illustrated examples are employed to clarify the basic elements of design (teach an alphabet), to show how they are used in simple syntactic combinations (“See Jane run.”), and finally, to present the meaningful synthesis of visual information that is a finished work of art (the apprehension of poetry…).

The Response

So. I purchased this at the beginning of the year because it was one of the texts for the RGD Ontario test. When I had just started making my way through this text, the test requirements changed, as did some of the books that were recommended to be read, and this was no longer on the list. Le sigh.

I kept reading anyway. And I will admit that this was not the most entertaining read. It was educational and informative, yes. But it was rather like reading a text book, which explains why it took me more than two months to read a book that is less than 200 pages long. (I will admit that I kind of fell asleep in it a couple of times.)

The book begins with the very basics of visual images (dots, lines, colours, etc), gets into the history of design and visual literacy, and then into application as it is today. As the book was written in the 1970′s, I felt like this last portion was a bit out of date… I rather wish the book had been reissued with updates in that respect, especially for an inclusion of the Internet. This is such a huge factor in the way people communicate now that it is such a shame that it hasn’t been included.

I can see why this book was originally recommended for the RGD test. And not only did it refresh some things that I had already known and hadn’t thought much about in a few years, but it also taught me some new things. I didn’t really study art history in school, so I found the brief information of different art movements most interesting – and actually rather wish those portions had actually been more in depth.

The Bottom Line

There was good information here. There really was. It was just written in a very dry manner. Read it if you’re interested in the topic, but don’t expect to be entertained while learning.

The Story

In a graphic novel format, Spiegelman has written the biography of his father, a Jewish man living in Poland during WWII. This is the second volume, and tells the portion of Spiegelman’s father’s life from being sent to Aushwitz through to immediately after WWII ended until Spiegelman’s father immigrates to the USA.

The Response

I should’ve read this immediately after finishing the first one. It’s not absolutely necessary to do so, but it certainly would’ve made for a smoother transition. I found that it was a little hard to adjust back to the speech patterns of the characters in this graphic novel, where if I had read it immediately after there wouldn’t have been that adjustment period.

I also should’ve written this post immediately after finishing the first one, because I’m finding it hard to gather all the thoughts I had about it. Le sigh.

So, this one picks up a few years after the other one, immediately after the other one AND a few months after the other one. The story of the author hearing the story from his father was a few months down the line, after his father’s wife leaves his father. The story of the author’s father in Auschwitz continued immediately. And there was a new bit, from the present, that takes place after the author’s father has died.

What I found interesting about this portion, and I’m not entirely sure how to interpret it, is that when we read the narrative that happens after the death of the author’s father, you can see that the author has a human face and is wearing a mask of a mouse. But in both of the other narratives, they aren’t wearing masks, they actually HAVE the faces of whatever animal they are personifying. I didn’t know what the author was trying to tell us there… Maybe to distinguish from the present and the other two narratives in a way that wasn’t distinguished between the two narratives previously? Maybe to show that what culture you are doesn’t define who you are as much as it used to?

Like the first one, this was definitely a thought-provoking and educational read, while remaining not too-heavy due to subject matter and not treading too lightly on what were horrifying events. While I knew what kind of stuff went on in Auschwitz, it gives a much different perspective to read the story of someone who was actually in there, instead of reading a textbook-like account. I think the worst part of it all was how a lot of these people had been treated so badly for so long that they just gave up – it’s so heartbreaking. And yet there are those who were able to survive through the horror in order to rebuild their lives after the war.

The Bottom Line

Oh! Enjoyed this more than the first one, but they go hand-in-hand, definitely. Need to read the first before you can read this one. And would highly recommend to people who are into stuff about WWII and the holocaust.

The Story

After a five-year sojourn in Japan, Canadian humour author Will Ferguson moves back to Canada. And once back here, he suffers a huge amount of culture shock – especially regarding to Canadian’s images of ourselves. Why I Hate Canadians explores Fegurson’s musings, revelations, and the like from when he returned to Canada.

The Response

What I love about Ferguson’s stuff is that while it is educational and informative, it is still absolutely hilarious. This one, however, seemed a lot more bitter than his other books. And while it seems like he is taking a dig at Canada and Canadians, being spiteful, and such, well… the way it’s written, it’s obvious that he would have had the same attitude towards any other nationality that he was writing about.

In this book, like the majority of the others, Ferguson takes a look at difference facets of Canadian life – everything from the mighty beaver, to the history between the French and English Canadians, to the Native Canadians, etc etc. Instead of focusing on touristy things to see, or how to be a Canadian, Ferguson this time focuses on how all of these aspects have formed who we are as a nation.

I think the chapter I enjoyed the most was the one on comic books. Now, Ferguson throws a little hissy fit about how Canadians call Superman Canadian even though he apparently isn’t (and he still can’t convince me that Superman isn’t Canadian – Heritage moments wouldn’t lie to me!), but mostly everything else he mentioned was stuff I didn’t know. I didn’t know, for example, that Captain Canuck has made three reappearances after he was initially created! He also spoke about the comic book industry in WWII – comics weren’t considered one of the necessities that needed to be imported over the border from the USA, and so the Canadian presses decided to take up printing comic books for a few years until the war was over and comic books could again be imported into Canada. Then the Canadian comic book industry pretty much disappeared until recently.

The Bottom Line

Again, as I normally do with all of Ferguson’s stuff, I did love this book. Thoroughly enjoyable, and recommended to those who would like to know why Canadians are the way they are.

The Story

In a graphic novel format, Spiegelman has written the biography of his father, a Jewish man living in Poland during WWII. This is the first volume, and tells the portion of Spiegelman’s father’s life from being a young man just making his way in the world, until Spiegelman’s parents are sent to Aushwitz.

The Response

So, here’s the thing. My brother has only really started reading on a regular basis the past few years. And this is the first time that he has ever actually recommended something to me. SO. I kind of really had to read this.

And I’m so happy that I did, because this was a great medium to tell the story. I wouldn’t have thought that – thought that the graphic novel format wouldn’t mesh too well with the subject matter. (And that’s not because I don’t like graphic novels, because I have read many that I love, so don’t think this is a dis on the format.) It could’ve easily made the horror of the situation less real or less important, and it really didn’t.

I wasn’t really a huge fan of the illustrations – I prefer ones that are slightly less thick-lined looking (does that even make sense?) but I just don’t like the style. Thankfully, not liking the illustration style didn’t detract from the story at all.

One thing I really liked about this was the way that it was told. Each chapter is a separate visit between the author and his father. And we see the story unfold as it’s being told in chronological order, including all kinds of side tangents such as the author’s father’s attempt at fixing a leak on the roof. It let us know that no matter how dark things got, in this case at least, some people survived.

The past few years, I have read a handful of both nonfiction and fictional books about both WWI and WWII. This one can definitely hold its own among the group – it’s done in a way that I don’t often see in non-fiction books, and a way that I have no doubt would make it appeal more to those who don’t read non-fiction.

The Bottom Line

I am definitely looking forward to reading the second volume in this story, and will be picking it up at some point soon. Highly recommended.
