Five Typography Books Every Graphic Designer Needs to Read

Typography is an important foundation of graphic design. It is one of the first principles students new to graphic design learn. It is vital to the practice and there is so much to learn about it. From the design of the characters, their purposes, the types of typefaces, and using them in layouts. There is no doubt that it takes lots of time, practice, and experience before any designer can call themself a typographic master. Reading books on typography can help speed up that process just a bit. Here is the list of typography books every graphic design student needs to read:

Most Anticipated Design Books of Autumn 2020

My favorite thing to do is browse the internet for books, especially ones I’ve never seen before. As the seasons change, I anticipate lots of new books to be released. After browsing all of the publisher catalogs, online forums, and online shops I compiled a shortlist of books every graphic designer should keep their eyes out for in the next coming months.

New Addition to the Site

A new page has been added to Bibliografik titled, “BLM Resources.” This page is similar to the “Resources” page but focuses as a directory for black voices within the visual design community. Here you will find a growing list of black designers, typographers, illustrators, creatives [both current and past], bookstores, articles, videos, books, charities, organizations, foundations, etc. I plan to update this weekly [ideally], if not monthly [realistically]. Please note that most of the articles are not written by BIPOC, and some of them do focus on inclusion in the design community in general, instead of specifically on the inclusion of Black Lives in the design community. These articles will be replaced as similar content authored by Black Lives is found.

The Importance of Design Thinking for Libraries

During my time at university, I was always encouraged to think about the whole problem instead of each individual part while working on projects. I always advised to think about the end-user, the audience who was interacting with my design work. From the first day to the last, I was encouraged to not only think visually, but contextually as well.
