Princeton Architectural Press Type on Screen: New Typographic Systems

A pesar de les bones crítiques, no hi ha res que no es conega si es té un contacte superficial amb el món del disseny i s'han llegit un parell de blogs. No val la pena pel preu que costa. En absolut.

Ellen Lupton and her team have put together a well thought out book that balances the history, theory and modern components of screen based design. Type on Screen respects traditional typography fundamentals, while at the same time showing what designers need to know to work in the digital design field. The author makes it very clear that the book is not a technical manual, but shows various aspects of technology.The book dedicates chapters to important topics:Ch 01 - Fonts on ScreenCh 02 - Text on ScreenCh 03 - Digital PublishingCh 04 - Type on InterfaceCh 05 - Icons and LogotypesCh 06 - Animation and CodeAs a interactive design educator I long awaited a text that could support my course work and was engaging for my students. The visual examples allow readers to gain quick insight, while the detail written descriptions give meaning to each section. An added bonus is that the book also has project examples for professionals and design students to work towards.I really felt like I got my money’s worth with this book, it’s something you can gain knowledge in the first read and use as a reference on future occasions.Highly recommended resource!

Very useful, relevant book for any serious webdesigner and typographer!Ellen Lupton is rightly respected for her intimate knowledge of typography and its applications.

Regular if i want manuals i can get it from the Internet but she xplain why is better to put especific typos in the screen

Amazing condition of the brilliant book
