via rebecca’s pocket: The Elements of Typographic Style Applied to the Web: CSS and HTML typography design — this is great stuff here. Followed this site to the web designer who is doing the project, Richard Rutter at clagnut.com. Good content and blogroll here.

From there, I clicked on a random commenter and found: Jason Santa Maria’s site and his post On the Subject of Design. Check out the books he recommends on design. This post would be of interest to visual rhetoricians.

One of the books Jason recommends is: Visual Literacy: A Conceptual Approach to Graphic Problem Solving by Judith Wilde, Richard Wilde. Also, he mentions: The Elements of Color by Johannes Itten.

Finally, one of the other books he recommended that is a little bit differrent than the others: A Whack on the Side of the Head by Roger von Oech. After checking it out on Amazon, I’m thinking about ordering the deck of cards based on the book: Creative Whack Pack for some out-of-the-box thinking.

Good stuff. :)
