Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Even the most undisciplined of today's graphic styles are based on a traditional repertoire of visual principles, clearly presented here as they apply to business publications in the desktop-publishing environment. The elements of design section and the portfolio section (various formats for promotions, periodicals, and data)--comprising half the book--are virtually identical in the two By design books (see following entry), but the hands-on projects are specific to the software. Annotation(c) 2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Includes bibliographical references (pages 316-325) and index.
