About Texts From Graphics Knjiga

Texts From Graphics je knjiga esejev, ki so jih napisali profesorji grafičnega oblikovanja pri univerzitetnem programu v Mehiki. Eseji izražajo ideje in razmisleke o oblikovanju. Za poenostavitev kompleksnih konceptov, obravnavanih v besedilih, je bil razvit ikonografski sistem, pri čemer se nabor ikon spreminja z vsakim poglavjem. Hierarhija, izbor tipografije in kompozicija poudarjajo glavna sporočila in omogočajo lahkotno branje. Knjiga je natisnjena črno-belo na pisemski papir, šivana v pole in vezana v trde platnice s končno obdelavo z lakom, kar ohranja nizke stroške proizvodnje ob hkratnem zagotavljanju trajnosti.

U V varnish was used in the cover of the book.
Tags: Editorial design, print, vector, typography, icon, grid, university, mexico, black and white, icon system

Research: The creative processes and the design methodologies used in design were deeply analyzed in order to have a better insight of the topics dealt with in the essays, and to be able express effectively the conceps with the iconographic system.
Inspiration: The book originates from the need of the University of Monterrey to represent the graphic design program. The objective is to show the ideas of the professors of the university and the growth that the career has had through their professional perspective.
