Summary: Improve Your Designs Overnight
Comment: Even after studying Illustrator, Photoshop, Quark and GoLive, I had irritating gaps in my technical knowledge. And I did not know where to look for the answers. Robin's books answered all those questions and more.
Her writing is fresh and humorous. Her advice covers everything from beginning to advanced, in plain language. She answers questions about everything you need to design in this digital world.
I've loaned the books to several colleagues but always want them back soon because I refer to them again and again.
I publish a newsletter, website and other communication pieces for a non-profit. My real skill is in writing & editing but my job requires me to also design my own stuff: My boss wanted me to design anything and everything even though he knew I had no design training.
Robin Williams' books have made all the difference between mediocre and professional-looking pieces. I own almost all of her books, from The Non-Designer's Design Book to The Mac is not a Typewriter to The Non-Designer's Web Design Book and everything in-between.
If you design anything, from flyers to newsletters and brochures, buy this book! You'll refer to it again and again.

Summary: Excellent summary of Design principles for the novice
Comment: Trying to put together a professional-looking web site or other publication? Wondering why your stuff doesn't seem to grab the reader?
Read (it's VERY easy) Robin Williams' "The Non-Designer's Design Book". You'll find short, clear explanations of the major principles of quality layout and presentation, with PLENTY of examples. Also included is a fine introduction to typefaces and font terminology.
Exercises (with answers) help to drive the points home, and the excellent bibliography will lead you to more in-depth study.
As a Design novice (or, as Ms. Willams would label me, a "Visually Illiterate Person") I can't imagine a more gentle, informative, helpful or entertaining introduction to the topic. A MUST-READ for would-be web page artists!
