Warning: negativity ahead. If you want to learn design, why don't you read something from a real designer, not Kadavy. I mean, look at his personal website, it has the shittiest design. Even his book cover has a crappy design (WTF is this horrible grey gradient with meaningless letters on the background?). If you want to quickly learn the design, read about composition, color and how it works with other colors, go browse something like http://webcreme.com/ http://webcreme.com/ http://designawardsgallery.com/ http://designawardsgallery.com/ If you really want to learn how to design, go take drawing and painting classes, anybody can learn how to draw in 3-4 months, if you do it every day. Go to your local bookstore and browse endless books of art (not "how to" books though) - painters, photographers, illustrators.
