From Early History to Designing for the Web
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Type is the way we convey written information. Down through the centuries type faces have been developed to not only convey the raw information, but to do so in attractive and pleasing ways. Type faces continue to be developed for all kinds of uses that the designers of years ago couldn't have imagined: the dot matrix print outs of a cash register, the type face you are seeing right now as you read this on a computer screen. This book presents an overview of type and typography fron the earliest greek alphabets (showing how the letters were derived) to modern times. It is not a textbook on how to design type, but more of an idea book illustrating what a lot of people have done in a wide variety of situations. It would be a very helpful read to anyone designing a book, print ads, or web pages.
