Book Reviews of 1,000 Type Treatments: From Script to Serif, Letterforms Used to Perfection
Book Review: Great Work, Ruined
Summary: 2 Stars
This is exactly the way a book on design should NOT be designed. And it's a shame because the editors found a lot of great work that would be inspiring if it weren't presented in an overwrought package with tightly-cropped photos on varying and illogically-colored backgrounds with poor labeling. It is simply too difficult to figure out exactly what one is looking at for the book to be enjoyable.
Summary of 1,000 Type Treatments: From Script to Serif, Letterforms Used to Perfection
The ability to wield typography is one of those things that is a clear indication of a talented designer. Being able to craft type well and thoughtfully takes a deep understanding of the inherent complexities and a keen eye for the minute and subtle details. This book contains a collection of 1,000 instances of thoughtful type usage along with credits that note what fonts were used in the design. Like its predecessor, 1,000 Graphic Elements, the photography in this book focuses in on the typography so readers can get an up-close look at the work.1,000 Type Treatments showcases an array of fonts in a catalog-like format, making it easy for the working designer to practically shop for ideas. The book is organized by style so if a designer has a traditional, elegant, or edgy piece, they can go directly to that section of the book, where they will find a wide collection of fresh ideas in the style they are seeking.
Also included is a directory of font foundries and suppliers, providing busy designers with a quick reference guide to where they can find the fonts that pique their interest.
