Product Description
The Typography Workbook is the second in Rockport?s popular Workbook series, practical and inspirational workbooks that cover all the fundamental areas of the graphic design business. This book presents an abundance of information on type?the cornerstone of graphic design?succinctly and to the point, so that designers can get the information they need quickly and easily.

Whereas many other books on type are either very technical or showcase oriented, this book offers the reader ideas and inspiration through hundreds of real-life projects with well-crafted type usage that have succeeded, as well as complete and hardworking content including choosing fonts, sizes, and colors; incorporating text and illustrations; avoiding common mistakes in text usage; teaching rules to live (and work) by, and pointing out hints on when to break them.

5 out of 5 stars All you need...   August 6, 2008
N. Jacinto (Moita, Portugal)
... to know about Type in an easy and comprehensive way lies on these pages. I own this book for almost a year and each time i flip it's pages I'm still amazed. Sure it looks kind of basic and introductory to the world of type, but as I said in the beginning: This is all you really need. Once you buy this book the rest of them will be sort of "been there, done that"


5 out of 5 stars a real treat   July 6, 2008

The book has a lot of great information, but some of the print is a little tiny for my old eyes.
