Review: The Elements Of Graphic Design (A. White)
As a bioinformaticist, you need graphic design skills. Whether you’re presenting data visually for a manuscript or presentation, building an interface for a database, or just working on your own website, it’s critical to be able to display data clearly. Deliberate design makes data easier to access and easier to absorb.
For a quick introduction to graphic design, I highly recommend White’s Elements of Graphic Design. Chock full of examples of both what works and what doesn’t — and clear explanations of why — make the book a great tutorial and inspirational reference.
Oddly enough, the book itself doesn’t adhere to its own guidelines, with a layout that is sometimes confusing and muddled. Still, it’s a great, easy introduction for those not trained in graphic design who find it more and more a part of their daily work experience.
