The hierarchy of fonts, though not a new concept, is so well presented in an easy-to-use chart, that I was able to use it to examine my own designs right away. Boulton goes further, using his 15 years of experience in Web design to apply those design school concepts to the real world, or at least virtual world of Web design.
Learning how to classify fonts into families is interesting, but Boulton takes typography into the world of pixels and fluid layouts.
Ligatures-use will only come into play in rare circumstances and are still not fully supported on the Web. Still, the information is good to know.
The section on colour is similar with some basics at first, followed by more in-depth treatment with the whole being applied to the Web. Some of the colour combination examples, and the information about how to use them on the Web were immediately, intuitively useful. Then there are grids. Soon after the success of the pdf a paperback was released although only about all of them have now sold except for several dozen.
Since the book was such a success Mark started to work with other authors and wrote another popular book called A Practical Guide to Designing Grid Systems. Mark continues to improve his business till this day. Mark Boulton Design Blog. You are commenting using your WordPress. You are commenting using your Google account.
