The efficiency of a designer is determined by several factors. Of course there is an unlearned part that arises from innate creativity to generate new concepts, but also there is a part that must be cultivated. If we have good artistic criteria, we can develop good ideas, but if we also have a great background and visual culture, we can develop sublime ideas.
Never underestimate the technical part, nor the cultural part. This is what makes the difference: There are many creative people, but not so many geniuses. Genius is in harmony with intellect, work and the desire to understand and expand our mind. That's why I bring you this little selection of essential works to start walking in the world of design in a professional way.
Never stop reading books are the best investment you can make. A book will make you grow and mature in all aspects.

Hello Fran Marín… Thank you for the contribution of the 10 graphic design books .. but I can't find the link to download them. Greetings and again thank you very much.
Hi Ricardo. From Creativos Online We cannot offer the books in downloadable format, because it is against the law. You should search for a store through Google to get them in paper format, or in digital format. All the best! ;)
