Editorial Reviews
Review
“This is a lucid and generally well structured book which I would recommend to first year and prospective students as a personal purchase, since it provides a practical and affordable introduction to key concepts.” Will Hill, Anglia Ruskin University, UK. “For students starting in Graphic Design, The Fundamentals of Typography and the Fundamentals of Graphic Design give them a great overview of the field, while providing inspiration. I’m pleased with the full-colour pages and the non-typical textbook format.” Christina Roy, Castleton State College, USA. “Great layout. The order of content progresses nicely.” Ejenobo Oke, Manchester College, USA.
