Typography and layout rely on proven craftsmanship and aesthetic foundations that provide you with guidance and support during the design process, as well as bring efficiency and effectiveness to your creative work. The typography and layout system forms the basis for your design. Martin Mosch guides you from the smallest element, the letter, through words and lines, columns and formats, to the larger whole, the principles of composition and layout.

In this practical workshop, you will recognize how detail decisions influence the impact of the overall composition, which visual strategies work in what ways, what to consider in the design process, and how to make your creative everyday life simpler and more successful. Based on visual habits and reading behavior, this book provides you with the tools for skillful handling of text and images – a foundation you can trust and build your peak performance in visual communication upon.
