Recommended Graphic Design Books
You can find out just about anything about Graphic Design online, but sometimes it’s nicer to read a good book on the subject. Particularly if you’re working with a computer all day long, and want to give your burning eyes a rest from the monitor!
Over the last ten years or so, I have built up quite a collection of design books, and here I recommend some of the better ones – along with links to their page on Amazon. Making a purchase after using these links (even for something completely unrelated) will help support this site.
An Introduction to Exposure
An exposure is the amount of light allowed to fall onto the sensor during the photographic process. The greater the amount of light let in, the brighter the resulting image will be.
This can be a daunting subject to a beginner, and this post aims to present the fundamentals of the subject in an easily understood manner.
ISO Paper Size Reference
ISO 216 paper sizes are based on an aspect ratio of approximately 1:1.4142 – the square root of 2. The base format (A0) is a sheet spanning 1m² in area. Successive sheets in the series are made by halving the preceding paper size along the larger edge. I’ve gathered the dimensions of ISO 216 sheets here for you to bookmark the article, or you can download a PDF if you prefer.
