STEP Inside Design recommends Typographic Systems · May 3, 04:59 PM
Our latest Design Brief Typographic Systems is recommended in the current (May/June issue) of STEP Inside Design magazine:
“To be a good designer, you must be creative. But because all design is based on structural systems, it’s also important to factor systemic thinking into your work. Oftentimes, designers find these systemic factors to be frustrating. If you’re amoing them, picking up a copy of Typographic Systems may help.”
Here is some more info on the book:
Typographic organization has always been a complex system in that there are so many elements at play, such as hierarchy, order of reading, legibility, and contrast. In Typographic Systems, Kim Elam, author of our bestselling books, Geometry of Design and Grid Systems, explores eight major structural frameworks beyond the grid—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.
