Two month old blood stains still around... really classy people there.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

have you never seen CSI they can see minute traces of blood from decades earlier, its a bit like how they can "zoom in" on a single pixel and "enhance the image" to reveal vital info (car plate, text on a mobile or even the murderers face)
its science init

They are really fair in CSI with "enhancing" : just saw two episodes yesterday in which it went:
- "Can you zoom more?"
- "This is the best I can do"
- "Oh, OK, so nothing of much help here".
This probably balances all the other improbable things they are always doing.

Hi, just ask any one who might have graphic design experience. Now I read this book Photoshop CS4 Digital Classroom[^]. Whether it is old version but it teach me very well.
When I completed it, I know how to use most of the tool in Photoshop.
But my question its: I need to find a book that teach me a tip or trick of combining the technique that I have learn to produce an attractive result (attractive graphic design)
Does this kind of book exist? If it is exist, please kindly suggestion me.
Thank,
Kanel

To be honest, I'm not sure anything like that exists. There are a lot of books, tutorials and so forth that will teach you how to use the tools - like the one you have just read - but putting those tools to use requires aptitude, ability, skill, and experience - and I'm not convinced that any of those can be taught.
What you are asking is the equivalent of learning to use a paint brush to do water colours, and looking for a book on how to paint the Mona Lisa, or Constables "The Hay Wain"
There are tutorials and suchlike on Google[^] - but how much use they will be is entirely open to debate. If I'm honest, most good developers are rubbish graphics designers!
If you do find a book or tutorial that does teach you to do it well, please post it here - there are a lot of people here who need to read it (including me).

Disclaimer: Not the straight answer to your question, but:
If you're looking for an attractive UX (user experience) rather than just an attractive graphic design, then this[^] may be a good start. Never mind that it is for an Android device; look for the concepts rather than techniques.

We know a song about that, don't we?
I've actually said that several times during meetings, using the same vocal tones.

Because they are talking as if they are addressing a group of five-year old children.

Well, the Info page says this: "Join 31,531 Students".
A good percent of them will be more than 5/10 years old, isn't it?
Agree, it is not that great; but may be a starting point

Oh yes![^]
I think you need to narrow down what sort of graphic design you want to learn, and search for an appropriate book.

That might sound logical, but you can't learn art from a book.
E.g.
-- No-one can teach you to write until you're highly literate.
-- No-one can teach you how to paint until you know how your hand works with brushes.
You have to work at it by yourself, becoming competent in at least the basic stuff, before you'll even understand the language that teachers (or books) are using.
The first steps are practice, practice, and practice.

Fortunately the OP wants to learn graphic design, so that's OK
Mark_Wallace wrote: No-one can teach you to write until you're highly literate.
That's not true. At The Boy's school, for example, they actually teach kids to write before they have reading lessons.
But I guess you meant writing as in writing novels.
Again I disagree. But whatever, the OP specifically said he had done the 'using the tool' learning (so knows how to 'write') and he's probably seen some great graphic design (highly literate) so bob's your uncle!
Mark_Wallace wrote: No-one can teach you how to paint until you know how your hand works with brushes.
Again, the OP has done that bit.

Rubbish. How do you learn how to pick up a bruch, mix colours, draw perspective, draw straight lines, circles, break down a composition into constituent parts, magic ratios etc. etc.
they are taught
Books are available for all sorts of levels - including introductory ones where they explain terms and have glossaries etc.!
Mark_Wallace wrote: The first steps are practice, practice, and practice.
As with almost everything, practicing without feedback and guidance can lead to bad practice.
I think what you are getting at is that you can't teach an artist to be a great artist - and this I think is very true but there's no reason you can't learn the techniques of graphic artistry from a book or course.

OK, let's try to simplify this to brass roots.
If you want to learn to draw, the first thing you have to do is pick up a pencil, and start drawing. And draw everything.
If you cannot reasonably copy a curve that you see in real life, reading about drawing will not help you.
Your hand has to be able to trace the basic outlines that enter your mind. Until your hand can do that to a reasonable degree, there are no teachable techniques that are of any use to you -- you can read as many books as you like, but none of them will be of any use to you.
Once you can draw basic shapes, proving that the pencil goes where you mean it to, you can get anatomy books to learn the details of drawing people, or drawing books on any other theme -- if you don't believe me, ask Giotto.
And graphic design is art. It is creative, not mechanical, and requires the same eye-to-hand abilities as any other visual art. Once you're a way along the road with those abilities, you can start learning the particular skills required.
