I just landed a graphic design sidejob with barely any graphic

The following books are good:
>Data flow 2, visualizing information in graphic design
>information is beautiful
>knowledge is beautiful

Data flow is really good because it has a bunch of interview and examples from a lot of different designers. information and knowledge are beautiful are just one guy i think, so less diversity but still worth flicking through.

Feltrons Annual reports are worth looking at too. He records information about his life over a year and then presents it in a graphic report. Has lots of images available on his site.

All of Edward Tufte's books. In order.

>Landed a design job
> Can't do design
> Needs designers to help

Ooook.

How about just posting your employer's contact info. Someone here can take your job and save everyone some time.

>not making stuff up as you go along and get paid for it

jk, I'm not doing any complicated stuff at all, just clean graphics and charts, I'm just really getting into it and wanna learn more and do what I do more elegantly.

thanks for the recommendations m80s, I'll dig in.

I drew a thousand infographic thumbnails and cataloged them based on the type of information - from statistics to single information images, so if I ever need a design I just go back to that sketchbook and pull one out.

These thumbnails don't even need to be detailed, something simple as a few lines and simple shapes with some value to show where the eye goes, simple 30 second to 1 minute sketches, but of course coming up with the design layout takes some time, so look for some inspiration from real life objects or existing infographics and just draw if you have the free time.

be realistic, its probably a low paying job, and the employer is his uncle or something.

I actually have worked for my uncle, who works with restoring old boats, when I was a teenager.

This job I landed fair and square through applying to an online ad, rather late even.
