Few authors have a following equal to hers both within the professional typographic community and among the wider computer-using public.Throughout the book, quotes about type and design are set in a range of grunge fonts, using rule-flaunting layouts. Each layout contains a full-color illustration created with the Painter software program. The off-the-wall illustrations form a bridge to the typography, enhancing the reader's understanding of this new graphic movement. More than 100 of the best new grunge fonts are featured in the book, which is for graphic designers, illustrators, and computer users of every level who want to understand grunge typography at the same time they feast on this eye-popping tour of design's cutting edge.

Softcover. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. Tollett, John (illustrator). This book celebrates radical typography, a style creating dramatic controversy among designers and artists. It's the old guard vs. the "grunge" typographers, readability vs. a whole look and feel that exudes energy and breaks the rules. The book takes no sides, but simply showcases the new look. Solid binding. Please note the image in this listing is a stock photo and may not match the covers of the actual item. Book. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 123689021

Paper. Zustand: VG++. John Tollett (illustrator). First Edition. 96 page booklet that is TALLER - than wide. Looks like a humourous, creative SEND-UP of today's world. Upon RE-consiDEration it is a typography book. A sampling of a variety of `fringe' lettering styles accom. by interesting quotations from important OldER folks - sUch as : We would that words become shooting stars, like gods, that they would rise up . by Wm. Shakespeare. The books presentation of the above actually has a shooting-star swooshing through ` gods and words'. The MAC diskette in a pocket at the back convinced me that this was not just millenial humour. Cond : Glossy paper wrapper is white with a gold flecked pattern. Cover graphic is an inset of a dread-locked, colourful young man . Edges are crisp, one corner is lightly dogged - front and back. Colours bright, binding tight. No names, marks, tears nor stains. Minimal soiling. Quote (p. 47) : " Your attitude is your life ." Size: 4to. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 002890
