Review: An all in one book for those looking into learning a thingor two about visual communication. Covers areas like eyephysiology, seeing, gestalt laws, seeing as a social construct and communicating with visual images. Illustrated throughout in black & white with a colour insert.

Combine this with a good book on cognitive psychology (like "Cognitive psychology and its implications") and you know more than most of the graphic designers I know.
