DESCRIPTION

How can you achieve visual elegance in designs when faced with mountains of copy? With wit and pithy commentary from professionals at the coal face of design, Size Matters tackles the many problems facing designers dealing with large amounts of content. Never before has design had to deal with the organization of text, image, and detail on such a scale. Size Matters examines a wide range of problems and explains the elegant solutions of designers across the world, from the American Immigrant Wall of Honor on Ellis Island to the UK's redesigned Yellow Pages, via a Harley David Exhibition. Issues of viewing rhythm, navigation, processing, and tracking are all covered. Stimulating, practical, insightful, and downright useful, Size Matters demands a place on the shelves of every working graphic desinger — and of anyone who appreciates beautiful, thoughtful design.
