High School Students can too, enjoy this book!

From Mario Garcia, comes a wonderful new book for designers and newspaper people of all ages, "Pure Desing." This book not only covers the basics of newspapers, but illustrates new ideas and trends in North America, Europe, and the world. Other design books only value design, however, Mr. Garcia, shows that without a quality package of WED (Words, Edit, Design) greatness can not be achived. It's cleaver yet simple writing, colorful pages, and niffty ideas can and should be used by everyone. Mr. Garcia out did himself again. EVERYONE from high school, to college to the seasoned professional, will find joy in reading this book. I can't wait till the paperback version!
