Chapter 1: Design Authroship Exlpained
I personally
enjoy reading design books merely because I get inspired by the page layout and
grid format, but this book didnt strike me as a "well" designed book.
I guess I will have to continue reading to be able to make a better assessment
of the book layout.
The first part
discusses design authorship, and points out why the designer should or should
not keep his signature in his designs, regardless of how excellent his work is.
The second part:
Design Authorship's Enabling technologies dicusses recent design technologies
that did not exist with typewriters like curving baselines, overlapping
characters, or controlling kerning.
The last pages of
the chapter are interviews with designers. It is my favorite part because
interviews express the personal characters of the designers.
