In Typographic Systems, Kim Elam, author of our bestselling books, Geometry of Design and Grid Systems, explores eight major structural systems beyond the traditional ordering systems of the grid &#8211; including random, radial, modular, and bilateral systems. By taking the reader through exercises, student work, and professional examples, Elam offers a broad range of design solutions.</P> <P>Once essential visual organization systems are understood the designer can fluidly organize words or images within a structure, combination of structures, or a variation of a structure. With clarity and substance, each system &#8211; from the structured axis to the nonhierarchical radial array &#8211; is explained and explored so that the reader comes away with a better understanding of these intricate complex arrangements. Typographic Systems is the sixth title in our bestselling Design Briefs series, which has sold more than 100,000 copies worldwide.</P> 1201482 3 5 2007 Typographic Systems total:10|5:5|4:3|3:2|2:0|1:0| 10 43 20 1 3 0 false false Fri Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Jul 06 16:49:06 -0700 2008 Mon Aug 25 21:35:07 -0700 2008 a good book to leave lying around. the ten-dollar words in the title makes your friends think you're some sort of obtuse egghead.]]> 0 0 false false Fri Dec 04 18:04:19 -0800 2009 Fri Dec 04 18:04:19 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Thu Nov 05 19:48:26 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 05 19:48:26 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Thu Sep 24 09:55:48 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 24 09:52:58 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 24 09:55:48 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Sep 18 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 18 18:04:06 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 18 18:04:39 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Aug 18 13:34:04 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 18 13:34:04 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jul 29 08:25:43 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 24 19:38:59 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Mar 15 20:00:37 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 15 20:00:37 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Feb 28 15:22:27 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 28 15:22:27 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Mon Mar 02 12:27:17 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 12 21:44:07 -0800 2009 Mon Mar 02 12:27:17 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jan 21 15:17:19 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 21 15:17:19 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jan 11 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 12 08:17:54 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 12 08:18:10 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Aug 06 17:52:05 -0700 2008 Wed Aug 06 17:52:05 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sat Jul 19 08:51:23 -0700 2008 Sat Jul 19 08:51:23 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Sat Mar 01 23:06:53 -0800 2008 Sat Mar 01 23:07:12 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Mon Jan 28 21:10:25 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 28 21:10:25 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Thu Dec 06 06:52:03 -0800 2007 Thu Dec 06 06:52:09 -0800 2007 4 0 false false Sat Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sun Nov 25 10:46:51 -0800 2007 Sun Nov 25 10:47:05 -0800 2007 0 0 false false Mon Nov 05 14:05:24 -0800 2007 Tue Oct 28 21:11:55 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Fri Jun 22 21:52:47 -0700 2007 Fri Jun 22 21:52:58 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=1213071
