Gå med i LibraryThing för att få reda på om du skulle tycka om den här boken. Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken. Some good info, but its buried in pages of disorganized filler. Readability is sacrificed for visual flare on each page which makes for a hard read. (Ironically, this is what White instructs designers not to do). He introduces terms without defining them until chapters later. He can't seem to decide whether he is writing a guide for beginners or his grand treatise as a designer with years of experience. Generally his tone is pedagogical and snobby. ( ) Okay. Book on graphic design. You expect it to be well-designed. I'm not sure if this one was or not: maybe that was the purpose. It was incredibly informative (especially on typesetting, for some reason), but the layouts and graphics seemed to break a lot of the rules that he was trying to get across. You'd look at a page and have no idea where to start reading, there were so many text boxes on it. And yet it wasn't hard to read, or boring, or confusing--you just had to dance around a lot. Recommended? I read a lot of books about graphic design both for my research work and for general interest on my part as someone who often has to produce attractive things, but this one stood out because it's a nice slim volume that contains just enough history to be interesting to read through in few sittings, and enough examples and ideas to be used as a quick reference guide. I'm not sure I've ever seen another volume where the balance was as perfect for my regular casual needs, so although this was one of many from the public library, I may be getting a copy for my personal library sometime. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
This design book has been revised and expanded to feature a new dimension of ideas to thinking about graphic design relationships. It is now in full color in a larger, 8 x 10-inch trim size, and contains 40 percent more content and over 750 images to enhance and better clarify the concepts in this resource. It also includes a new section on Web design; new discussions of modularity, framing, motion and time, rules of randomness, and numerous quotes supported by images and biographies. This work provides designers, art directors, and students with an approach to successful design. The author, a veteran designer and educator has assembled information and examples in his exploration of what makes visual design stunning and easy to read. Readers will discover his four elements of graphic design, including how to: define and reveal dominant images, words, and concepts; use scale, color, and position to guide the viewer through levels of importance; employ white space as a significant component of design and not merely as background; and use display and text type for maximum comprehension and value to the reader. The book offers a new way to think about and use the four design elements, with an aim to inspire better design. -- Provided by publisher. Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |
