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.
