Book Reviews of Thinking with Type: A Critical Guide for Designers, Writers, Editors, & Students (Design Briefs)
Book Review: ehmm....
Summary: 3 Stars
Required book for my typography course, and to be frank I absolutely hated it. When it comes to typography I'm very pick and this book tries to be organized but unfortunately becomes ADHD, hah.
It has lots of great info, but fails to tie it all together. it will show lots of cool stuff, but it all seems oddly extraneous, since it never comes back to the IDEA of typography. It's like those conversations that are really exciting because everyone is hopped up on coffee and no one knows where its going and you get people saying "what where we talking about?" every 5seconds.

Summary of Thinking with Type: A Critical Guide for Designers, Writers, Editors, & Students (Design Briefs)
The organization of letters on a blank sheet -- or screen -- is the most basic challenge facing anyone who practices design. What type of font to use? How big? How should those letters, words, and paragraphs be aligned, spaced, ordered, shaped, and otherwise manipulated? In this groundbreaking new primer, leading design educator and historian Ellen Lupton provides clear and concise guidance for anyone learning or brushing up on their typographic skills. Thinking with Type is divided into three sections: letter, text, and grid. Each section begins with an easy-to-grasp essay that reviews historical, technological, and theoretical concepts, and is then followed by a set of practical exercises that bring the material covered to life. Sections conclude with examples of work by leading practitioners that demonstrate creative possibilities (along with some classic no-no's to avoid).General Books
