Graphic Design Books
ChrissyLynn
and tested books that we can't live without as graphic designers.
Every topic under the sun from print, web, logo, business card,
photoshop, flash, etc. Any book titles that you have personally feel
in love with and think is a valuable asset. I need some good reading.
Thanks for your feedback. -Chrissy
