Seven years is a long time in any industry, but when it comes to the worlds of
design and technology (and particularly the point at which the two merge), it's
an eternity! No wonder, then, that you (and about a million other readers!) have
been eagerly awaiting this latest update to Robin Williams' enormously popular
Non-Designer's series. In these pages, Robin defines the principles that govern
type as well as the logic behind them so that you learn not just what looks best
but why on your way to creating effective print and Web pages. Each short chapter
in this thoroughly updated guide (which includes new coverage of typography in
Adobe InDesign and Mac OS X) explores a different type secret or technique, including
understanding legibility and readability; tailoring typeface to a particular project;
mastering pull quotes and captions; working with spacing, punctuation marks, special
characters, fonts, and justification; and more. The nonplatform- and nonsoftware-specific
approach and Robin's lively, engaging style make this a must-have for any designer's
bookshelf!
