A design book to follow Robin Williams' book?
I just read the The Non-Designer's Design Book, and am really enjoying putting the basic ideas to use in anything graphics oriented. If I wanted to go a bit deeper, and not be too technically tied in to any particular software package, what book should I read next?

Before&After's How To Design Cool Stuff is, I think, a really good followup to The Non-Designer's Design Book, with a straightforward instruction style.
There is also, of course, William's Design Workshop.
I own both and find them useful and inspiring.

Some of the ideas in Harrower's Newspaper Designer Handbook go beyond newspapers. Color, typography, arrangement, balance, measurement units, etc.

This thread is closed to new comments.
But here are a few places to start:
Before & After magazine
Communication Arts
There are many more but it would help to know your specific areas of interest.
