Typography is the most effective tool that graphic designers use to
express ideas and convey a message. The ability to choose the right
typeface for the right job, to design readable and legible pages, and to
marry type and image to create visually compelling results are skills
that every designer must master. This book introduces the student to the
basic principles of typography with clear examples from international
practitioners, interviews with designers and typographers, plus
exercises to reinforce the concepts covered. With its attractive layout,
approachable text and skillful use of typography on every spread, the
author sets the standard to inspire the beginning student of design.
