Mid Summer Thoughts

As I sit in one of the three workshops that I am taking this summer, I can't help feeling a little overwhelmed. Between taking three workshops, preparing for my wedding, and honeymoon, and moving into a new house, summer has been a blurry. I finally have the house in order enough that I am comfortable, and am over the halfway point of my final workshop, but there is still so much to do for my Graphics class. Through my workshops I have gathered a large amount of resources to sift through and include in my course. Over the next few weeks, here is a list of books that I plan to pick up.

• Designer's Color Manual: The Complete Guide to Color Theory and Application
• Color Harmony Workbook: A Workbook and Guide to Creative Color Combinations
• The Complete Idiot's Guide to Marketing, 2nd Edition (Complete Idiot's Guide to)
• Thinking with Type: A Critical Guide for Designers, Writers, Editors, & Students
• Amazon.com: Graphic Design as a Second Language: Bob Gill (Hands on Graphics): Books: Bob Gill

Pretty heavy considering that there are only six more weeks of summer. If there are any other books that would be of use for teaching design, I am always looking new items to incorporate into my Graphics courses. It won't be long before September 4th is here.
