The Design

About Texts From Graphics Livro

Textos Desde o Gráfico é um livro de ensaios escritos por professores de design gráfico de um programa universitário no México. Os ensaios expressam ideias e inquietações sobre o design. Desenvolveu-se um sistema iconográfico para simplificar os conceitos complexos abordados nos textos, e o conjunto de ícones muda a cada capítulo. A hierarquia, a seleção tipográfica e a composição destacam as mensagens principais e favorecem uma leitura leve. O livro é impresso em preto e branco em papel bond, costurado em cadernos e encadernado com capa dura acabada em verniz, mantendo baixos os custos de produção e garantindo, ao mesmo tempo, durabilidade.
