  Billion Dollar Graphics: 3 Easy Steps to Turn Your Ideas into Persuasive Visuals
Michael T. Parkinson
This well-known book is fundamentally about the art of persuasion itself rather than merely persuasive graphics. That isn't to say that Parkinson doesn't provide plenty of practical wisdom and specific applications, but merely that this book will also teach and inspire you to come up with good, persuasive ideas and visuals on your own.

Billion Dollar Graphics: 40 Powerful Ways to Show Your Ideas
Michael T. Parkinson
The statistics (conducted by an independent organization, not by Parkinson or his affiliates) for the extent to which this book and the Billion Dollar Graphics methods will help you and your company are nothing short of startling: increase your success rate by 43%, communicate 60,000 times faster, give your ideas 22 times more impact-the list goes on. Again, Parkinson doesn't tell you what to say, but simply helps you to strengthen the quality and inventiveness of your own ideas, which will help you continually down the line and in any line of work.




  Billion Dollar Graphics: The Master Collection
Michael T. Parkinson
This collection includes both Billion Dollar Graphics: 3 Easy Steps to Turn Your Ideas Into Persuasive Visuals and the companion book Billion Dollar Graphics: 40 Powerful Ways to Show Your Ideas, as well as a DVD that contains professional, editable, royalty-free graphics for your business or organization (111 image source art DVD plus free book sets and 41 bonus graphics)



  Advanced Microsoft Office Documents 2007 Edition Inside Out
Stephanie Krieger
This is a brand new book on how to create documents using the 2007 Microsoft Office system. This book packs hundreds of time-saving solutions, troubleshooting tips, and the workarounds you need for creating, laying out, and sharing powerful documents and templates. Ideal for users with more advanced experience using either the 2007 Microsoft Office suites or earlier editions of Microsoft Office, this comprehensive guide moves beyond the basics.



  Layout Workbook: A Real-World Guide to Building Pages in Graphic Design
Kristin Cullen
In this book, Cullen tackles the often perplexing job of nailing down a layout that works. Cullen approaches layout with this comprehensive guide that begins with a series of step-by-step fundamental chapters (a "how-to" of layout) addressing topics such as Inspiration, The Process of Design, Choosing Type, Structure and Spatial Organization, Establishing Hierarchy, and Communicating Messages.



  Before & After Page Design
John McWade
A magazine editor and true design professional, John McWade shares his insight on thinking about page design not just as a reinforcement for a document's content, but as a kind of content in itself. The successful project management professional will find this book's approaches to all different kinds of visual documents-single- and multi-page publications, advertisements, brochures-integral to their daily responsibilities of getting employees on track, capturing business, and maintaining an in-the-loop dialogue with the customer throughout the course of the project.



  The Practical Guide to Information Design
Ronnie Lipton
In this guide Lipton provides insight not just on the visual aids that presenters have at their disposal, but also how they can improve the quality and coherence of their information. The book itself is also highly visual, saturated with graphs, tables, and photographs that will impress presenters and proposal writers and inspire them to underscore the substance of their own work with a persuasive visual and graphic sensibility.



  Typographic Design: Form and Communication
Rob Carter, Ben Day, and Philip B. Meggs
One of the most fluid aspects of contemporary business writing, typographical design also has evolved historically in interesting ways. This book deals with the past and present of typography as well as its theoretical and practical purposes. Businesses ought to find a lot here to help bolster their proposals and web pages alike.



  Digital Photography Bible (Desktop Edition)
Dan Simon
Both comprehensive and inexpensive, Dan Simon's guide teaches all the ins and outs of digital photography. It is important to note that this is a guide for professional and non-professional photographers alike, so it acts as an incredibly useful resource for professionals in contracting and subcontracting companies who need to incorporate digital photographs into proposal sections or simply to upload quality photos to their websites.
