Synopsis

Finding the right balance between content and space is a challenge every graphic designer faces. This title gets to the heart of challenging layout design, replacing rigid templates with sound, customizable techniques for working with varying quantities of content, showing how designers can apply these techniques in their own work. It focuses on the two most difficult layout issues: compacting a high volume of content onto a small area while maintaining beauty and readability; and applying a small volume of content to a large space without making it look "bare". From posters to logos and magazines to book covers, this volume examines more than 150 projects, illustrating the methodologies and solutions that made each work, revealing how to make content shine in any space.
