Giveaway—Adventures in Design
What is there to love about Joen’s new book Adventures in Design? Everything! I love how she clearly explains the premise for each chapter (color, lines) and then gives you activities and exercises to complete, just to make sure you get it. Remember that in order to learn we must see it, hear it, and then do it, to really learn it. And her expanded captions next to each example make it super easy to understand.
Joen’s book is sure to (Continue Reading...)
