Book Description
The digital revolution has brought with it a dizzying multiplication of new styles and ?techniques in the field of graphic design-not to mention a whole new professional ?jargon. The Designer's Lexicon is the only cross-disciplinary technical dictionary that ?captures this rich and often confusing profusion ?of design-speak. It is packed with over 4000 terms that cover the broad spectrum of ?practices a modern designer must be familiar with: traditional graphics, pre-press, ?photography, printing, typography, and computers. Four hundred color diagrams and ?illustrations visually supplement the definitions. With a sturdy concealed spiral binding ?that reduces wear-and-tear, The Designer's Lexicon exemplifies the criterion designers ?seek most in a reference book-utility. For established professionals navigating new ?design terrain, as well as students, production managers, and printers, this is an essential ?dictionary for a new century.
