    influencing typography & design

    Mark Batty Publisher

    2005

  • Much of the book shows reprints of layouts from U&lc

  • Now read this

    the Microsoft ClearType font collection

    Microsoft ClearType and Advanced Reading Technologies Group

    2004

    A book to show and explain a set of new multilingual fonts designed for extended reading onscreen

  • Contemporary Newspaper Design

    Shaping the news in the digital age:

    typography and image on modern newsprint

    Mark Batty Publisher

    2004

    Like current designs of newspapers themselves, this book offers multiple points of entry to the information it contains

  • Fire in the Sea

    University of Hawaii Press

    These are sample pages, prepared at Marquand Books for Univ. of Hawaii Press

  • For reasons of space, part openings had to be single pages rather than spreads

  • These sample pages sold the design. The published book is a bit different.

  • Representation of places

    Reality and realism in city design

    Peter Bosselmann

    University of California Press

    1998

    A complex, grid-based book with many different kinds of illustrations and graphic elements.

  • The selected poems of Su Tung-p'o

    Translated by Burton Watson

    Title-page spread, using a sketch of the poet

  • Titles could be long, and poems might be preceded by the poet's intro and followed by both general and line notes

  • Spring essence

    The poetry of Ho Xuan Huong

    Recto page has English text; verso has Vietnamese, first in Nom (the old Vietnamese writing system), then in modern script

    Spring essence
  • Open papers

    Selected essays by Nobel laureate Odysseas Elytis

    A deliberately classic page design, echoing novels and nonfiction of the '30s-'50s (with English editions of Camus in mind)

  • I aimed for a comfortable page spread that invites reading and clearly shows the various parts of the text

  • Look at the evidence

    John Clute

    A dense book of essays and reviews. Clute's erudite, energetic prose actually reads best in long lines, and the need to pack a lot of text into the book meant running-in the essays rather than starting a new page
