Description

Web Typography is the next book in our successful Design Briefs series. A comprehensive guidebook, Web Typography is for design students as well as professionals who want to make their web work typographically strong. A concise and thorough primer on the subject, Web Typography introduces the reader to this increasingly important subject. Beginning with the basics, The elements of typography - letter, words, and lines for example - are explored and followed by more complex concepts, such as layering, use of colour, and positioning. In addition, The second half of the book investigates more advanced concepts of web typography, including Flash, Javascript, and interactive components. All concepts are meticulously illustrated through detailed diagrams as well as existing examples of websites.
