The book opens with an examination of the basics of type and colour (with a large section of samples for quick reference). It then explores a more experimental approach to the use of colour and type, with the author detailing traditional typographic rules and investigating ways of breaking those rules to achieve new and innovative design. A wide variety of academic and professional case studies reveal the methods and rationale behind the work profiled. A useful reference book for all graphic designers, Digital Type and Colour provides a fresh set of possibilities for screen work.
