Graphic design doesn't have many so called "rockstars" but in the press/media Chip Kidd is the closest you will get. He is a book cover designer by job, now that may not sound very exciting but I promise you once you see his work. Its marvelous. So when this man writes a book telling you how to design it is something to look out for.
This book could be taken as one of the most condescending books of all time because its in language and tone it is very very simple. But past that it is very informative; tips, tricks and tasks. The three T's. (My tablet has just tried to change that to the three R's (repition, repition, repition). It is odd always by its construction as a book. It has the look and the feel of a children's book.
I bought this 2 years ago, at the very beginning of my uni course, having only been taught college, what in hindsight, didn't really feel like the bare bones of design, more art but not quite.
