A historical overview of layout, from the early scribes to today, is followed by a systematic look at key theoretical principles and practical applications. A selection of great layout designs and more than 300 illustrations in full color and black-and-white provides ideas and insight. Invaluable for design students, helpful to working designers looking for a better understanding of layout design, The Layout Book is unique and uniquely inspiring.
