From traditional print to digital formats for mobile phones and tablets,
this book provides a clear introduction to the creative use of format in
graphic design. Using 200 inspirational examples from contemporary
international designers, Format for Graphic Designers guides the
student through the role of format in both the purpose and the narrative
of a design. The authors look at the physical aspects of formats -
traditional and experimental, print and digital - to explore innovative
solutions and, through case studies, explore how and why professional
designers choose particular formats for a job. Covering everything from
books and magazines, point-of-purchase displays, packaging, direct mail,
brochures, and screen-based formats, the new edition illuminates this
critical element of design practice for students, and provides them with
a solid foundation on which to build their own designs.
