Product Description
Product Description
New in paperback, "Typography Workbook" is part of Rockport's popular Workbook series of practical and inspirational workbooks that cover all the fundamental areas of the graphic design business. This book presents an abundance of information on type, which is the cornerstone of graphic design, both 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 ideas and inspiration through hundreds of real-life projects showing successful, well-crafted usage of type. The book also offers a variety of other content, including choosing fonts, sizes and colours, as well as incorporating text and illustrations and avoiding common mistakes in text usage. The book is accessible and informative, and will provide its readers with practical as well as inspirational advice.

I have to admit this book surpassed my expectations. Delving into everything from the construciton of single typographical characters and their components, through informative examples and analysis of the effect and importance oftracking, weight, leading through to type families, paragraphing, experimental tyography this book has it all. As a freelance designer and lecturer in graphic design i would highly recommend this book to all students studying graphic design and any professional that enjoys working with type. A very handy and vast resource!

Book is great for beginners or for font lovers.
Texts and illustrations provide useful information and make it all finally clear. A must-have in young Graphic Designer's bookshelf.

The book is quite interesting, for anybody who likes to read about fonts. Good for absolute begginers but don't expect it to be from A to Z guide. The comment: 'Provides an at-a-glance reference guide for graphic designers on every aspect of typography' is very true.
It gives short description with a lot of examples. I like it.

Using type to enhance the message
A really useful book. A practical guide to achieving excellence in presentation by "illustrating" the message by the use of text.
