This book has been created to be introductory and to give a way in for new designers. However, there is an endless sea of valuable information to take part in that could not be fit into one book.
For your further curiosity and education, I have gathered here the resources, references, and recommendations of books and articles to read.
Apart from these recommendations, don’t forget that there is always a great amount of free information available at your fingertips, only a quick Google search away.
