Reviews / Votes
What a great little book! The short, concentrated explanations are an ideal reference for students. Comprehensive coverage of the subject. An ideal pocket guide... * Rhiannon Robinson, University of Cumbria, UK * The practical terms chosen are spot on for students just learning the production terminology for printing. * Elsi Vassdal Ellis, Western Washington University, USA * I think this book is a great technical resource ... Written in a conversational manner which makes it very easy to engage and digest - perfect for the student audience. * Terry Elkins, Grant MacEwan University, Canada * I have the Visual Dictionary of Graphic Design, so I knew that this would follow the same format. An excellent visual descriptor plus straightforward text just right for finding out or just reminding yourself of important things every level of student should know or begin to know. * Vicki Winteringham, Norwich University College of the Arts, UK * Excellent reference text that fits very well to a lecture series I run on design for print. Very accessible way to understand key concepts and suitably visual. I have recommended the text to students. * Christian Lloyd, Leeds College of Art, UK *More details

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
Please note: We strongly recommend that you authorise using your personal Adobe ID after installation of any reading software.
