Title: Help! What is the best book or website to learn text and art layout?
Post by: Spinachcat on December 15, 2016, 03:52:39 PM
I have some XP in layout, but I want to increase my skills to semi-mad skillz in a short time.

What book do you recommend?

Is there a favorite site that would be great to learn from?

I no longer do most of my layout but did early on. There were some books I found helpful but unfortunately I don't recall the titles. Will try and track them down. One of my best investments was actually the indesign manual (the printed version cost 70 bucks back in 2009). Having that on hand drastically improved my ability to do the little tweaks that sometime feel elusive in the program. I also found Lynda.com a helpful resource. These days I usually check out advice on YouTube tutorials when trying to do something new. What areas are you seeking to improve?
