A Book About Design: Complicated Doesn't Make It Good is one
of the few books to address basic design issues for young picturebook
readers--and its advice and insights should be considered by many an
adult, too. Simple lines, shapes, colors and humor explain why
complication doesn't equal a good design--and why that fact
matters. Pages of merely one or two sentences are accompanied by easy
sample pictures to illustrate such basic design concepts as 'change
the size of one (in this case increase it) and you lessen the impact of
the other'.
