This book explores the many different areas in which contemporary typographers are experimenting with type, illustration and photography, from magazines and annual reports to posters and television advertising. Stafford Cliff surveys over 200 of the world's most challenging designs, showing their influences and discussing the creative process. He includes detailed research of some of the projects and traces their stage-by-stage development, from initial brief to final artwork. This book also features interviews with designers and contains a resource of typefaces, styles and creative techniques. It should be of value to graphic designers, DTP editors, art directors, design teachers and students. - Publisher.
