| Livre | Thinking With Type: A Critical Guide for Designers, Writers, Editors, & Students (Design Briefs) par Ellen Lupton |  | | Description | The organization of letters on a blank sheet – or screen – is the most basic challenge facing anyone who practices design. What type of font to use? How big? How should those letters, words, and paragraphs be aligned, spaced, ordered, shaped, and otherwise manipulated? In this groundbreaking new primer, leading design educator and historian Ellen Lupton provides clear and concise guidance for anyone learning or brushing up on their typographic skills. Thinking with Type is divided into three sections: letter, text, and grid. Each section begins with an easy-to-grasp essay that reviews historical, technological, and theoretical concepts, and is then followed by a set of practical exercises that bring the material covered to life. Sections conclude with examples of work by leading practitioners that demonstrate creative possibilities (along with some classic no-no’s to avoid). |

| Livre | (Allemand) par Hans Peter Willberg |  | | Description | Which typeface fits where? What works, and what falls short? Where do typefaces come from, and how can simple problems be avoided? These are questions that are no longer just being asked by publishers, graphic designers, and typographers, but by all computer users. Therefore, Hans Peter Willberg created this navigation system to guide beginners and budding professionals through the typographic jungle. This book is an eye-opener that simply makes life with type easier. No previous knowledge of typography is necessary to enjoy the book. Typographic “haute-cuisine” is not discussed; the book focuses directly on what novices need to know. For instance, how do typefaces look, how are they different from one another, how do they work? Intentionally avoided are references to specific computer platforms or programs, and examples of artist-designers’ exceptions from the rules. Wilberg’s book rests upon solid experience, well-regarded competence, and didactic drive. |
