(pages 71-80)
The previous readings explained the
importance of typography in a work of graphic design. This reading focuses
mainly on typography as a visual product. Typography in graphic design is not only
meant to be read, letters with meaning, but also letters that are shaped and positioned
for a certain message or idea. The reading also discusses the book as a
sculpture. The examples provided
contributed to the concept of "designer as author" as a hybrid; designer, writer,
artist, and editor are interlaced.
Ps: I couldn't stop wondering as to why
there's an image of a typewriter? I came up to the conclusion that a book is
supposed to be for future generations, whom might not probably be fimiliar
with typewriters.
