Description
A humorous and incisive analysis of the basic tenets of typography and how to turn them on their heads, this book will appeal to the conformist and the non-conformist in everyone not just the newcomer to design.
One side of this sharp-witted, cleverly designed guide presents the ten main rules, or commandments, of type design, addressing such aspects of typographic doctrine as legibility, alignment and capitalisation; the other shows how type can successfully subvert these rules, presenting sacrilegious visual alternatives. In support of the commandments Felton includes a list of twelve disciples, those internationally renowned graphic designers whom he identifies as rule-abiding, including such figures as Eric Gill, Jan Tschichold and Erik Spiekermann. Confronting these are his fallen angels, including such experimental typographers as David Carson, Jeffery Keedy, Phil Baines and Jonathan Barnbrook. It is an ideal gift book for all lovers of graphic design and typography.
