printed form, with subjects ranging from salamanders and urban and spatial analyses, to artists'
books and a fairy tale-like adventure. Among them are books by Marjan Teeuwen, Anne Geene &

Dutch Type (Reprint)

Jan Middendorp 2018 ISBN 9783982003702 Acqn 28944
Hb 23x28cm 320pp col ills £65

In 'Dutch Type', Jan Middendorp presents a comprehensive overview of type design and lettering
in the Netherlands, tracing its origins through type designers and lettering artists from the 15th to
the 20th centuries. Partly based on interviews, the book also offers insight into the motives and
methods of the first generations of digital type designers, featuring published and unpublished
typefaces as well as sketches, studies, and samples of lettering work. While the quest for quality
and innovation has remained constant, it makes clear that the advent of desktop type has opened
up the discipline to a more spontaneous, inventive, and democratic approach.

Good design, like good storytelling, brings ideas to life. The latest book from award-winning writer

techniques to create satisfying graphics, products, services and experiences. Whether crafting a

there. An intriguing logo, page layout or retail space uses line, shape and form to lead users on
dynamic journeys.

Design Is Storytelling explores the psychology of visual perception from a narrative point of view.
Presenting dozens of tools and concepts in a lively, visual manner, this book will help any
designer amplify the narrative power of their work. Use this book to stir emotions, build empathy,
articulate values and convey action; to construct narrative arcs and create paths through space;
integrate form and language; evaluate a project's storytelling power; and to write and deliver
strong narratives.
