Graphic Design

Disclaimer: I am not a graphic designer, but anyone working on user interfaces has to deal with many issues of graphic design, and many books on graphic design are often promoted within the HCI community. The following books are ones that I think are worth recommending, but in no way should they be held responsible for my graphic designs.
