Synopsis
Information Design Desk Reference, approaches the design of information as simply communication. The point of view is that of people who do not have the skills or tools of a professional designer. When a poster, brochure, document or presentation needs to be prepared most people feel that they lack the ability to create what they need, to produce the kind of impact they know that their material requires. Graphic elements throughout the book complement the text with examples. It presents step-by-step approaches and methods for working through about everything from a brochure to a simple Web site-the book itself is a model of what it presents.
