The Design

About Texts From Graphics Buch

Texts From Graphics ist ein Buch mit Essays, die von Grafikdesign-Professoren eines Universitätsprogramms in Mexiko verfasst wurden. Die Essays bringen Ideen und Anliegen rund um das Design zum Ausdruck. Um die in den Texten behandelten komplexen Konzepte zu vereinfachen, wurde ein ikonografisches System entwickelt, dessen Icon-Set sich mit jedem Kapitel verändert. Hierarchie, typografische Auswahl und Komposition heben die zentralen Botschaften hervor und unterstützen eine leichte Lesbarkeit. Das Buch ist in Schwarz-Weiß auf Bondpapier gedruckt, in Lagen fadengeheftet und mit einem lackveredelten Hardcover gebunden – so bleiben die Produktionskosten niedrig und die Haltbarkeit dennoch gewährleistet.
