This latest addition to Robin Williams' Non-Designers line of books not only defines the principles governing type but explains the logic behind them so readers can understand and see what looks best and why. Armed with this knowledge, and putting into practice the secrets Robin reveals for making type readable and artistic, readers can then go on to create beautiful, sophisticated, professional-looking pages on their computers for output as hard copy or for use on Web pages. Each short chapter explores a different type secret including use of evocative typography, tailoring typeface to project, working with spacing, punctuation marks, special characters, fonts, justification, and much more. It is written in the lively, engaging style that has made Williams one of the most popular computer authors today. And it uses numerous examples to illustrate the subtle details that make the difference between good and sophisticated use of type. The non-platform specific, non-software specific approach to the book makes this a must-have for any designer's bookshelf - from type novices to more experienced graphic designers and typesetters. Please note! If you've read Beyond the Mac is not a typewriter then you don't need this book. This book is almost exactly the same as Beyond the Mac is not a typewriter.

Design und Typografie

Golden hour hues and dawn-drenched blues filter between the lines of poems that chronicle the various sunrises and sunsets that have weathered Robin Williams' experiences. In the Mid-Hours is a stunning recount of occurrences that are both unique to its author and something we all experience-the moments endured in the hours and minutes and seconds that encompass a life. This is a glimpse down the ever-winding roads that can never be fully predicted, filled with hurt, healing, and everything in between.

In the Mid-Hours

Steve Broback

Covers Macintosh hardware, the system folder, memory management, emergency precautions, disaster recovery, accessories, text, graphics, fonts, and the World Wide Web

Beyond the Little Mac Book

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.
