Favourite graphic design books

Here's our curated selection of amazing design books we think you should, at least, take a look at. Design books are good for inspiration and they also can be used as decor. Double win.

1. Own Label: Sainsbury's Designs Studio (1962-1977) by Jonny Trunk
A unique insight into what and how we ate, the packaging is presented using both scanned original flat packets and photographic records made at the time. A must have if you love packaging.

2.  Dynamic Identities: How to create a living brand by Irene Van Nes
This visual book looks into design systems for living brand identities that can change in colour, pattern or shape.

3. Forget all the rules you ever learned about graphic design by Bob Gill
This book is about how to take an ordinary graphic problem and turn it into an original graphic solution.

4. How to use graphic design to sell things, explain things, make things look better, make people laugh, make people cry, and (every once in a while) change the world by Michael Bierut.
His book illustrate the breadth of activity that graphic design encompasses today, his goal being to demonstrate not a single ideology, but the enthusiastically eclectic approach that has been a hallmark of his career.

5. Bob Gill, So Far by Bob Gill
The definitive book on the work f Bob Gill, with more than three hundred pieces of his most inventive work, collated from his eighteen books along with some thoughts about how to come up with an original idea
