This practical guide provides design basics for use by the desktop publisher. Conceived originally as open learning material for a course at Watford College, this volume contains a sensible set of principles and lists of successful and unsuccessful methods of operation. The text gives a basic grounding in typographic and design principles, illustrated with examples of standard layouts and typeface charts which show popular typefaces in a range of sizes as an aid to casting-off headlines and text. The volume will be of interest to all those who use desktop publishing systems, whether professional publishers, computer buffs or non-experts.
