Books and Ebooks
Search tips:
- Try keywords like: graphic design, image, color, logo, font, art

Professional Organizations
Joining a professional organization while you are a student has some benefits. First, while you are a student you can join for a reduced rate. Second, joining a professional organization means that you receive a publication from them which keeps you up-to-date about the latest news in your professional field. Lastly, it looks good on a resume, especially if you become active in the organization.
