Review: Spark notes of the full version - I have owned the full version of this book for years now and love it. Its a great resource to reference back to. I purchased this pocket version for a friend who is a less patient reader and he is enjoying the quick lookups, as well as this book literally fits in his pocket! If you want more in depth explanations or study material i suggest using the original book, but for TLDR, this is perfect. Review: Excellent book flawed only by author's apparent pro-abortion bias - Fantastic book on design principles...so concise, comprehensive and well-illustrated. I read his previous book which was overall great, and I find this one even better and inclusive of even more important design concepts. My only gripe is his seemingly pro-abortion bias in one of his examples. Abortion is violence against a developing human and her or his mother. Choose life. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #152,319 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #458 in Commercial Graphic Design (Books) #748 in Design & Decorative Arts | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 437 Reviews | ## Images ![The Pocket Universal Principles of Design: 150 Essential Tools for Architects, Artists, Designers, Developers, Engineers, Inventors, and Makers (Rockport Universal) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81tg1cft7ML.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Spark notes of the full version *by S***G on March 29, 2024* I have owned the full version of this book for years now and love it. Its a great resource to reference back to. I purchased this pocket version for a friend who is a less patient reader and he is enjoying the quick lookups, as well as this book literally fits in his pocket! If you want more in depth explanations or study material i suggest using the original book, but for TLDR, this is perfect. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent book flawed only by author's apparent pro-abortion bias *by D***D on April 1, 2016* Fantastic book on design principles...so concise, comprehensive and well-illustrated. I read his previous book which was overall great, and I find this one even better and inclusive of even more important design concepts. My only gripe is his seemingly pro-abortion bias in one of his examples. Abortion is violence against a developing human and her or his mother. Choose life. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great introduction to a wide variety of useful principles *by T***Y on August 21, 2018* The depth is hardly the great thing about this book. It is a rather shallow introduction to each of these principles. Really just sufficient to understand and apply said principles in a useful way. Many of these principles could take a decade to master, but that's where this book becomes useful. While it would take a long time to master, it only takes a few minutes to apply to a lesser extent. Just sufficient to substantially improve a project, product, or user interface, for instance. For new designers, developers, artists, and engineers, this book is a must have. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Pocket Universal Principles of Design: 150 Essential Tools for Architects, Artists, Designers, Developers, Engineers, Inventors, and Makers (Rockport Universal) - Dororo - Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/21718326-the-pocket-universal-principles-of-design-150-essential-tools-architects](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/21718326-the-pocket-universal-principles-of-design-150-essential-tools-architects) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-10-03*
