The average person sees thousands of words each day that are put into the environment by typographers, designers and artisans. But, why do we need more typefaces? How should a designer use those typefaces in order to stay true to typographers' intentions, as well as the message? And, what principles should designers follow at the planning and design stages? Type, Form & Function answers these questions and more by dissecting the mechanics of typography, giving graphic designers the information to communicate their message more effectively through type - an essential reference for layout and design.
Chapter 1: FORM covers type anatomy with a spectrum of examples designed for text and display uses.
Chapter 2: COMPOSITION demonstrates the formal devices that designers employ for layout.
Chapter 3: PRINCIPLES reveals details that focus on the nuances of layout, colour, and readability.
Chapter 4: EXPERIMENTATION showcases painstakingly created letterforms and designs that defy conventional thinking about typography.

Great selection, amazing value, fast/efficient delivery. Highly recommend!
Lovely books at a great price, delivered really quickly and very well packaged.
I haven't used this book yet, but as a novice oil painter, it will be very helpful in learning techniques used by the masters, albeit quite basic approaches and styles. It gives step-by-step guidance via illustrated tutorials, basic information such as equipment and the colours to use in each exercise areprovided. What could possibly go wrong?
This is a comprehensive overview of works of art from earliest times until the late 20th century. It's immediately accessible to read and engaging. My only grumble is that many of the photos are small and in black and white. The text and the works themselves merit better treatment, but that would make this already weighty tome unmanageable and prohibitively expensive. I'm very pleased with this book and will enjoy it.
A lovely book, found by chance and given as a gift.
Bought as Present and they loved its unique format
Fascinating and good comparative text and images.
Excellent book, in depth text and plates that I haven't seen before, perfect!
Great book about the man of 60s music
Beautiful book - made a great gift. Thank you x
I bought to wrap up presents but it somehow felt wrong to cut up these wonderful graphic designs!
Great. Rapidio!
Another great read
A great read
Nice selection of books. Competively priced. Easy to order online. Super fast delivery. The books were really well packed and protected which was impressive. Will definitely shop again at Books About Art.
