Every graphic designer should own these books

In this video I go over some of my favorite books that I think every graphic designer should have in their personal library. The books that I cover today are mainly about visual inspiration and learning typography. This video is Part 3 of an ongoing series on my channel. The first two videos can be found down below, aswell as the shopping links for each book.

niceeee

[@bustymilkers3781]

these are all good recommendations. but, this has to be be mentioned. if you are focusing on typography and/or calligraphy; DO NOT use graffiti as a reference point. i say this because typography and calligraphy follows different rules than graffiti. While it is true both fields focus on flow and style, how flow and style is done is different from one another. graffiti focuses on distorting the letters and implementing shapes and extensions (various vectors/lines and arrows) in to make the flow work. also to note, graffiti treats lowercase and uppercase letters the same (meaning, every letter will be the same height). you can mess around with this rule. but, it is commonly used principle in graffiti. How calligraphy and typography works is by uniformity and cleanliness. while you can mess around with the letters, just like graffiti; spacing, height, and angling are the most important factors with this field. this is evident in any packaging you see and in this example, the titles in the rave flyers and video games you will see.

[@Dreadlabs]

Great insight, and you’re totally right. I just hope that people who want to get into typography see Graffiti as kind of a stepping stone onto the real deal. But it’s definitely important to know about this so thanks for sharing!
