What do I need to study to get good like the Designers Republic Anonymous 2017-06-27 08:27:19 Post No. 312849 [Report]

I want to achieve this kind of design style in my art but I don't know what books I would need to study to achieve this.

I usually browse /ic/ and they have a very laid out and easy to follow sticky of all the fundamentals needed for illustration. I've read the sticky in /gd/ but I'm wondering what books should I start with first? what should I do? I just really want to achieve this kind of awesome style like the tDR guys.

Anyways, any tips would be welcome, I know how to use PS and AI very well and I've done various designs for people, but never knew how to approach this art style for my own needs.

Pic very much related

from what i can tell:

literary steal from japs

cyberpunk sci-fi mechas animey and commercial design

ghost in the shell and romanticizing this kind of corporate dystopian thing
http://ruinergame.com

you can also look into how japs designed 90s electronics, guns and such goods

lots of 30 degree angles, lots of geometric detail in linear perspective and slight rounded corners and meaningless detail all over the place

study elements of type design, look into russian constructivism, but make it look all futuristic
