Typographic Systems
Typographic organization has always been a complex system in that there are so many elements at play, such as hierarchy, order of reading, legibility, and contrast. By taking the reader through exercises, student work, and professional examples, Elam offers a broad range of design solutions. In "Typographic Systems," Kim Elam, author of our bestselling books, "Geometry of Design" and "Grid Systems," explores eight major structural frameworks beyond the gridincluding random, radial, modular, and bilateralsystems.
With clarity and substance, each systemfrom the structured axis to the nonhierarchical radial arrayis explained and explored so that the reader comes away with a better understanding of these intricate complex arrangements. Once essential visual organization systems are understood the designer can fluidly organize words or images within a structure, combination of structures, or a variation of a structure. "Typographic Systems" is the seventh title in our bestselling Design Briefs series, which has sold more than 100,000 copies worldwide.
