I’m a new motion graphics artist with a degree in computer animation. However my degree did not include graphic design classes, and I’ve been told I need to educate myself in this area. I’m looking for a good book that a neophyte can pick up and understand. I’d love if it especially commented on the modern trends in graphic design, but a plain old “learn the basics” recommendation would help.

Covering every medium, from print to the Web, Sex Graphics showcases images that incorporate sex in ways that range from subtle to clever to shocking. Some images hint at the act of sex…
