Robin Williams Design Workshop

by Robin Williams, John Tollett

Fred Showker says:
      When people entering the publishing or design fields ask me "What book should I get as a starter?" this is the one I recommend.
      I traveled on the design seminar circuit for ten years with a highly acclaimed one-day workshop called "Creative Layout Techniques." In that day-long seminar I covered the primary areas of design, layout and typography. When this book hit the market it was as if Robin and John compiled all the best of those topics and built them beautifully into this book. It's not just a primer on basic facts -- it's a powerful and engaging guide to style.
      Start with technical, basic details of design, then progress through the use of stock images, building contrast, and developing balance. You'll be treated to "before-and-after" and then see exactly how the design was improved. Follow through a series of design projects: logos, forms, newsletters, tables of contents, etc., then seven designers, including coauthor Tollett, break down the process that they went through on a job of their own.
      This book is light and lively -- not stuffy like books written for the upper-crust design community. It's written and beautifully illustrated for you.
