A wide range of classic and modern typefaces is analyzed, including those from many premier contemporary type foundaries. Introductory essays and diagrams emphasize the history of type, the primary systems of typeface classification, the two main proportional systems for type, the parts of a letter, the effects of new technology on design methodology, the optical illusions that affect density and balance in letterforms, and the differences in form between basic serif typestyles. The book provides detailed guidelines for creating serif and sans serif letters, numbers, punctuation, and accents.
As design clients increasingly call for original and custom typefaces, Designing Type is a superb reference for both students and professional graphic designers.</div>]]> 16048 4.33 18 1 2006 2753792 1856694453 9781856694452 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2753792.Designing_Type 5.00 1 16048 4.33 18 1 2006 3238609 0295982454 9780295982458 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3238609.Sento_at_Sixth_and_Main_Preserving_Landmarks_of_Japanese_American_Heritage 5.00 1 Sento at Sixth and Main combines in-depth research on historic places, personal memories, and striking vintage photographs to showcase once-familiar parts of Japanese American life -- bathhouses, community halls, farms, lumber camps, temples, schools, hospitals, midwiferies, and bowling alleys. This exploration of a previously undocumented architectural heritage weaves the loose thread of Japanese American history back into the fabric of public memory. Focusing on ten places significant in Japanese American heritage -- located in Seattle, Auburn, and Selleck in Washington and Sebastopol, San Jose, and Los Angeles in California -- Sento at Sixth and Main also calls attention to the many landmarks awaiting further study and protection.
