One of my favourite magazines is the Computer Arts magazine. It is always packed with information and says what's new in the world of design.
It also says:
Books which are useful
Handy hits and tips
How to find a job in Design etc
There is a really interesting article in this month's magazine about 'creating original artwork in a copycat world', which says what you should and shouldn't do in a deja vu world of design. Definately worth a read!
I was reading somebodys GLOG the other day and they wrote a blog about book covers. I made a comment about it.. and since then I have found some interesting book covers by Penguin called 'Great Ideas' designed by David Pearson and Phil Baines and some others. A really nice uncoated stock, lovely rich blues and reds and some cracking debossing. They feel nice in the hand.
So... Whoever you are... I hope that you find this article because it might help with your dissertation!
