Book Description
A noted international designer and typographer encourages screen-based designers to establish an efficient hierarchyof information with clear layouts, proving how good design can generate visual logic. A well thought out grid system for the screens thereby allows the screen designer to create order, so that the users can easily orient themselves and find information. Includes successful examples of on-screen grids from leading international companies such as Adidas, Lufthansa, and Jaguar
Customer Reviews & Comments
Another superb book by Götz. Although the title is a tad dry and does not suggest that the book will appeal to the same wide audience as Type for the Internet, in fact `Grids' is just as fascinating and timely. Gotz describes how websites (and other browser-read creations) should be laid out for maximum effectiveness. Her analysis is practical and how-to, leading from the apparently obvious problem of landscape layout , the limits of legibility on screen, to the more elaborate problems of dynamic and interactive pages. But the very practicality of Gotz's approach, and her sharp focus, only make it doubly clear how our whole philosophic engagement with information is radically changed by the new technologies. Gotz does not resist the temptation to point at some of the larger issues by truffling her boook with witty quotations and maxims from the great savants, all presented with a layout full of panache.
