On one hand, I am incredibly happy to see a brilliant and foundational work affordably back in print. On the other, I am a bit disgusted by the quality of the edition. The original edition of the English translation is a beautifully designed volume. The reissued edition features a blindingly white coated paper, and a puzzling insistence by Esri on using comically oversized Times New Roman typeface. The illustrations, however, have been better reproduced (and in some cases enhanced) from the earlier version. Apart from dealing with symbols, colors, and other graphic conventions, Bertin also discusses the uses of letters, labels, and visual hierarchies. Bildi Grafiks. Tempus Fugit.

The book was part of a project to redesign the calendar for the campus student film society into something readable and typographically coherent. This volume represents essentially the only book I could find on the subject of calendar design after many days of searching. It deals with novel arrangements, a dash of history, and a few interesting essays on the nature of time and representation.

  • More Info About Book Construction
    OVERVIEW OF BOOK SPREADS Why 32 pages? The “industry standard” for picture books is currently 32 pages. Why? It all comes down to the construction and printing of the book. 32 pages are generally the most economical when printing hardcover books. If you do see alternate sizes you’ll usually find them in increments of 8 or 16. (for examples 16, 24, 40 or 48 pages) I could go into all the details about why this is the standard, but if you’d like to learn more check out these links: more info about Book construction: http://editorialanonymous.blogspot.com/2008/10/basic-book-construction.html http://taralazar.com/2009/02/22/picture-book-construction-know-your-layout/ http://booksforkeeps.co.uk/issue/194/childrens-books/articles/process-creation-and-audience-the-32-page-picture-book It’s important to note though that current print-on-demand technologies and self-publishing platforms open the door for more flexibility and more potential to experiment with layout outside of “industry standards.” But, if you’re going the traditional routes or want to hook-in to existing structures and channels (such as bookstores and libraries) when self-publishing then you can expect to create a 32 page book similar to what you see on the adjacent page. A few optional layouts: 1. Traditional Full Opening then Story: Title (pg 1) - Copyright (pg 2) - Dedication (pg 3) - 14 Full Spreads (pgs 4-31) - About/ Credits or other back matter (pg 32); 2.

  • SERIES BOOKS by James Dawson
    GETTING SERIOUS ABOUT SERIES BOOKS by James Dawson Series books have been popular with kids for a hundred years. We have all read or heard of Nancy Drew and the Hardy boys, but those two are just the tip of the book- berg. Series books are as popular with collectors as they have ever been and the interest is still growing. It seems like every kid read, traded and collected these books only to find out, years later, that their mothers had, just as attentively, thrown them out. Many collectors buy these books to attempt to capture a lost part of their youth, or to give them to their kids as wholesome reading. Young readers still love them. I literally just had to stop writing that last sentence to sell a Nancy Drew #10 to a cute little girl who was hooked on them. That is quite an endorsement for a series that first appeared in 1930! Series books first started in the mid 1800s. Starting in 1868, Horatio Alger Jr. wrote an extremely popular run of books all of which had pretty much the same plot. A ragged, penniless boy comes to the big city and 200 pages later is rich. He wrote about a hundred of these by the turn of the century. His books aren t considered series books because, instead of say dozens of books with different plots featuring the same characters, Alger s books had dozens of different boys caught up in the same plot line. But Alger s books set the stage and showed that the market for these type books was enormous.

  • A Few Things to Know
    A Few Things to Know Keep in mind that Blurb prints using digital offset presses, not traditional offset lithography which means your book’s pages are printed on single sheets on both sides, rather than in traditional signatures. So, when you design your book, the pages in the layouts will be sequential and two-page spreads may not match up precisely. • Blurb has two black and white book options. The two Black and White Text sizes are great for text, and black and white images. Note that any color images you place in your template will actu- ally be translated to black and white halftone for printing. Black and White sizes can have a full-color cover, just like the other book options. • The books you make with Blurb must have an even number of pages – from 20 pages to 440 pages, so remember to include the single page on the right as you open your book and the single page on the left at the end of your book in your final page count.Also, pages print double-sided. If you want printing on one side of a spread only, you need to include blank pages. • To print your book, you’ll upload one PDF for your book’s cover and a second PDF of the book’s pages. • When you export your PDF files, you need to use the PDF/X-3:2002 standard. A subset of the usual PDF, it is designed specifically for reliable prepress file creation. In other words, the PDF/X-3:2002 standard makes sure that our book print engine will play well with your PDFs.
