Know Your Onions: Graphic Design Review: Imperative for emerging designers. - There's a time in every designer's life when they've amassed enough experience to "go pro." You know, when your work surpasses "nephew art" and can command real clients at respectable rates. It's at this moment you need to read this book. Too early and some concepts may go over your head, too far down the road and you'll say "I already knew this..." But for folks at that 2-3yr window, THIS BOOK IS LIKE GOLD. Concepts discussed are mature and time-tested, and de Soto will certainly help you run a better design business. In fact, I'd argue that even many experienced folks oughta read this one - our industry is riddled with bad design created by people who think they're above revisiting basics. I really like how he cuts right to the chase - "there are many ways to tackle [ABC], but if you do [XYZ] it's gonna work." That's real-world, applicable advice - the kind we're all starving for. It's really damn good. As a side - the actual design of this book is terrific. The cover doesn't really do it justice (although I dig that, too). Funny as it is, I was surprised the first time I cracked it open to find full-color images. It's beautiful and easy to read. I love holding it, thumbing through and feeling the pages. I especially like the elastic band that has helped me keep my place. Kudos to both the author (Drew de Soto) and the publisher (BIS Publishers) - this is a solid accomplishment and you should be proud of the work. Review: A Handy Guide for All - I bought this as a gift to a budding graphic designer. Arrived sealed in a cellophane packaging. Handy size to put in his backpack as he goes about. Appreciate that there’s a rubber band to keep the book closed when traveling and also acts as a bookmark as he works from his laptop and using sections of the book as reference. Has a small pocket on the back cover to slip some notes in but material used for the pocket is not that sturdy to withstand frequent use. Cover itself is made from heavy board with reinforced binding - anticipating frequent usage and to prevent pages from falling apart. However, since the cover material is not glossy, we might have to cover with vinyl in order to better protect the book from wear and tear. Has a glossary but no index. Contains a lot of valuable information that a mentor would pass on to a rookie and even if you’re not a rookie, gives you an organized reference as you build your career in graphic design. Handy not only for designers but for developers, as well. I will soon be getting a copy for myself. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #629,183 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #841 in Graphic Design Techniques | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (605) | | Dimensions | 6 x 0.75 x 8 inches | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 9063692587 | | ISBN-13 | 978-9063692582 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 185 pages | | Publication date | February 3, 2014 | | Publisher | Laurence King Publishing | ## Images ![Know Your Onions: Graphic Design - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/818gPgpO3tL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Imperative for emerging designers. *by B***R on October 2, 2018* There's a time in every designer's life when they've amassed enough experience to "go pro."

Engaging and Helpful Advice for Designers (Especially Print Designers) *by K***S on June 23, 2016* Drew is Proprietor of Nancy Victor Gallery and Director of Navig8 Ltd. His focus in this book is on working with clients to create high end print materials, however there is much for any designer to glean from his discussion of process. The book is delightfully written, with such advice as: "Always name your files properly and consistently. Use an intuitive folder structure. Test your system; if a complete stranger was to open your job folder, would they know which was the most up-to-date version? Mock people who do not have a system." Of interest to all designers (especially those who work with clients) are his chapters on creative process, working with clients, conceptual sketching, color, and typography. Of special interest to designers who work in print are chapters on paper, the printing process, and binding. ## Frequently Bought Together - Know Your Onions: Graphic Design - Graphic Design For Everyone: Understand the Building Blocks so You can Do It Yourself --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/13930106-know-your-onions-graphic-design](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/13930106-know-your-onions-graphic-design) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
