About this product
Product Information
With this visually stunning primer, designers will develop the skills and vision to produce truly innovative, eye-catching type design. All the basics of type design are covered, and in-depth information is provided on more advanced topics such as the differences between type applications, how typography creates identity, and what best inspires readers. Chapters cover: The language of type Space and type Typographic unity What makes readers respond Type and identity Evolving type treatments Readability and legibility A timeline of the evolution of writing and typography Designer Alex W. White packs the pages with fifteen hundred images--modern and ancient, specially created and found--that illustrate typographic concepts and continue to yield more complexity and connectivity with each viewing. Listening to Type proves that type is much more than groups of letterforms on a page; it is a language with the ability to convey meaning and evoke emotions beyond the spoken words it symbolizes. Allworth Press, an imprint of Skyhorse Publishing, publishes a broad range of books on the visual and performing arts, with emphasis on the business of art. Our titles cover subjects such as graphic design, theater, branding, fine art, photography, interior design, writing, acting, film, how to start careers, business and legal forms, business practices, and more. While we don't aspire to publish a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are deeply committed to quality books that help creative professionals succeed and thrive. We often publish in areas overlooked by other publishers and welcome the author whose expertise can help our audience of readers.

Reviews
"My colleague, Alex W. White, has done it again. Even if you've read other books by Alex, like his excellent Elements of Graphic Design , Listening to Type is a revelation. This book represents his clearest and most perceptive explanation of the building blocks of effective graphic design: Space, image and--putting what is probably most important first--the workings of type itself." -- Brian D. Miller , partner, executive creative director, MillerSmith; author of Above the Fold, 2nd ed. "Maybe Alex White should be called the type whisperer. Examples of outstanding work are abundant throughout this volume. Typography, space, image, and color are the building blocks of graphic design and are beautifully represented. Splendidly arranged and easy to understand, this book is indispensible whether you are an initiate or seasoned professional." -- Graham Clifford , independent design director and chairman emeritus of the Type Directors Club "My library has hundreds of books about typography and graphic design. Each provides a vantage point for seeing design differently. This is the first that challenges the reader to listen to typography. Strange though that concept may be, there's deep truth there, and a plethora of beauty to hear." -- Charles Nix , senior type designer, Monotype; chairman emeritus of the Type Directors Club; former chairman of communication design at Parsons the New School for Design, "My colleague, Alex W.
