Good experiences are invisible and hardly ever seen. Bad experiences scream out at us and are impossible to ignore.

Hidden Gem – The Newspaper Designer’s Handbook

While checking out the book shelf at our local Oregon Trail (twitter) coffee shop, I found a hidden gem. The title was ‘The Newspaper Designer’s Handbook’, and I never thought to find so many great examples of design layout. Inside were explanations on how to set up a grid based layout, why it is important, basic typography concepts, and best practices for images and captions. The version I flipped through was published in the seventies, but the content was just as relevant today and it was then.

What books have your read lately that suprised you?

    Have you heard that there are more recent editions of the book available? The latest was published in 2007. Search for "Tim Harrower" at half.com or any major online retailer to find lots of great deals.
  • Yeah, I found it on Amazon. Thanks for the link to half.com though, always looking for a better deal!.
