I'm warning you, this book contains many technical terms in graphic design. I think this book is intended for practitioners of graphic designers in the intermediate level. However, i think this is good for those in beginner level too, or hobbyist in graphic design.


Like, this book will assume that their readers already understand what it is typography, so they immediately explain the application of typography in graphic design. Because this book was written in the early 90s, where the computer was being developed to include graphical elements therein. Can imagine how easy it is and how much time can be saved by designing the letters in a computer program and apply them in a job or project design.

The author will tell the aspects of typography, like size and measure, emphasis, and of course the style itself. This not the type of book that can be consumed for only one day ( I don't know how can I managed it, too).

It's a good companion book for those who involved in design graphics, especially typography designer.
