365 daily design mantras from four leading industry experts,
providing you with valuable design dos and don'ts for every day of
year. Packed with practical advice presented in a fun, lighthearted
fashion, this is the perfect book for the ever-growing group of
non-designers who want some graphic design guidance. And for more
experienced designers, individual entries will either bring forth
knowing nods of agreement or hoots of derision, depending on
whether or not the reader loves or hates hyphenation, has a
pathological fear of beige, or thinks that baseline grids are
boring. In the style of a classical almanac, 365 entries combine a
specific rule with a commentary from a variety of experienced
designers from all fields of the graphic design industry. Covering
topics such as typography, colour, layout, imagery, production, and
creative thinking, you can either dip in at random or use the book
as the source of a daily lesson in how to produce great graphic
design.
The ultimate visual encyclopaedia of type, featuring more than 1,800 typefaces
Wherever we go and whatever we do, the printed word plays a part in every aspect of our day-to-day lives. Behind all the messages we see, read, and absorb, the design and choice of typeface dictate the tone, context and immediacy of these words. From advertising and news headlines to book jackets or wayfinding at an airport, choosing the most appropriate typeface is not an easy task, nor one based on aesthetic alone.
With such a diverse and inspiring range of types now on offer, Type Directory separates and identifies these forms to provide a comprehensive selection of available typefaces. Over 1,800 typefaces are organized by category – Serif, Sans Serif, Display and Script – and subsequently arranged by recognized sub-categories. This allows the reader to make a direct comparison of typefaces with a similar appearance, thus facilitating a deeper understanding of the design and selection process. A visual celebration of the craft, innovation and beauty of these letterforms is presented throughout, from classic typefaces like Garamond, Bodoni and Times through to the contemporary Bliss, Gotham and Meta.
The ultimate visual encyclopedia, Type Directory is an essential creative tool for novices and aficionados alike. This sumptuous sourcebook will inform, educate, inspire and stimulate as a must-have reference title.
The Field Guide to Typography explores and explains the myriad
typefaces that we see around us in our day-to-day lives, from
airplane liveries to computer screens, from billboard hoardings to
signage systems. It presents over 120 typefaces - old and new,
common and unusual - with photographic references to help `font
spotters' identify particular typefaces in the wild. Accompanying
background information explains the origin, usage and key features
of each typeface, and `Field Facts' provide little-known nuggets of
information to expand your typographical awareness. Attractive and
informative, The Field Guide to Typography is a unique visual
reference for novice font fans and experienced designers alike, and
a comprehensive celebration of our expanding typographic world.
