NASA Graphic Design Manual
The NASA logo is an award winning and well known logo and getting to know more would be nice! I’m a little worried about finding a proper copy of the book though- the top results on Amazon are super expensive and the affordable options don’t have reviews.

Other “Art Of” Books Of Movies or Animation Companies
It doesn’t necessarily have to have “art of” in the title, some might be called things like archive or behind the scenes of or something. The type of books I’m looking for are books that show concept art, break down the art styles, color palettes, etc
Art of Puss in Boots Last Wish
Art of Zootopia
Art of Tangled book
The Walt Disney Film Archives
Contains concept art and sort of breaks down some of Disney’s stuff so… YIPPEE

Art Of Encanto Book
Looking at art style books and concept art could inspire me!

I believe it comes with an app that allows me to color pick things in real life. I do think it is a bit expensive and I think I can color pick without this tool but it would be convenient? It’s not a top priority gift for sure though
