About this title

Synopsis:

Graphic design is as important today, as it was before the computer, the ipad and the internet. Understanding colour, spatial relationships, how to work with images and fonts are critical to any form of successful design: a poster, a newsletter, a book cover, an advert, a website. It’s so easy now to create something, using all the powerful software tools but this clear and accessible new book shows you how to make careful judgements, how to work with printers, how to source materials, and how to brief others. Perfect for those exploring design, at any level, and in every form.

About the Authors:

Aaron Miller is a freelance illustrator based in Cheltenham, UK. He studied illustration at University College Falmouth and has missed the sea and seagulls ever since. Aaron’s understanding of colour theory and imaginative concepts makes him a significant creative talent.

Andrea Pennoyer is a typographer and book designer based in Vancouver, BC. She holds a Bachelor of Design from the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design, and a Master of Arts in Book Design from the University of Reading's Department of Typography and Graphic Communication.

David Woodward first set metal type at the age of 11 when he swapped his collection of Enid Blyton books for an Adana hand press. After graduating, he worked freelance as a journalist and book designer for Routledge and Macmillan, and set up the company Design for Print.

Ambar Galan is a typographer and book designer from Mexico. After a BA in Graphic Design she worked for several years in a Mexican editorial company on various magazine titles. In 2012, one of her Life&Style layouts was nominated for a Society of Publication Designers award for Best Single Spread Design.
