The Design

About Texts From Graphics Bok

Texts From Graphics är en bok med essäer skrivna av professorer i grafisk design vid ett universitetsprogram i Mexiko. Essäerna uttrycker idéer och tankar kring design. Ett ikonografiskt system utvecklades för att förenkla de komplexa begrepp som diskuteras i texterna, och uppsättningen ikoner förändras för varje kapitel. Hierarki, typografiskt urval och komposition lyfter fram huvudbudskapen och underlättar en lättillgänglig läsning. Boken är tryckt i svartvitt på obestruket papper, häftad i sektioner och bunden med hårda pärmar avslutade med lack, vilket håller produktionskostnaderna låga samtidigt som hållbarheten säkerställs.
