I read Steal Like an Artist: 10 Things Nobody Told You About Being Creative recently and thought it was a really good motivation to go out and create!Has anything read anything good recently on Typography or Design in general?
How has the book been so far? Brittany and Morgane?
Cool looks like we will be reading just my type!
These books on typography were recommended to me!
What book should we read for September?Maybe Design is a Job?
Some of the issues with the vertical grid that I have is that you can not get your text to be the best possible line-height in terms of readability. If I have a 12px paragraph but I am using a 24px grid I may not want a 200% line-height for that paragraph. Another instance would be if I had a 24px header that wrapped to two lines, I would not want to have 100% line-height with no space in between the two lines but I may not want the 200% line-height either. Maybe I am just wanting too much control over the readability of the paragraphs and it will not matter that much in the end and the benefits of the vertical harmony will outweigh the small difference of readability.
How many of you use vertical grids when designing? http://www.alistapart.com/articles/se...Just thinking about best practices. Do you line up all of your elements to the grid? Just text?
What are your thoughts on vertical grids?

I just read part of the Typography section and I am really enjoying it! Before that, there was a section on handling client, stuff you would want as a freelancer. The basics about typography have been really good so far!
Awesome William!I thought the section on what tools to use was really unnecessary. I do not think a book is a good place to talk about these things because it would get out dated so quickly!
Has anyone gotten the book yet or started reading?
I would suggest the design of everyday things to start out with!
