Despite its popularity, however, two-color printing has a stigma of looking cheap compared to four-color pieces. This book puts that myth to rest by showing how truly dynamic effects can be achieved with simple, inexpensive two-color printing. Besides its simplicity, it has a style all its own, which can convey sophistication, elegance, and integrity.

Included is a ?color finder? section designed to show readers a variety of color combinations for various projects such as logos, packaging, book jackets, and posters. Each featured project is shown in thumbnail size in 15 to 20 different two-color combinations.

One-Color Graphics provides a gallery of inspirational one-color and black-and-white designs created by professional artists around the world. From somber and elegant to edgy and bold, these masterpieces of contrast showcase the full range of moods the artist can create by working imaginatively with a basic yet potent color scheme.

Projects included in this book range from posters, invitations, and promotional materials to logos and letterheads. This book will help graphic designers of all levels harness the magic and simplicity of one color without breaking a client?s budget.

Each short chapter explores a different type secret including use of evocative typography, tailoring typeface to project, working with spacing, punctuation marks, special characters, fonts, justification, and much more. It is written in the lively, engaging style that has made Williams one of the most popular computer authors today. And it uses numerous examples to illustrate the subtle details that make the difference between good and sophisticated use of type. The non-platform specific, non-software specific approach to the book makes this a must-have for any designer's bookshelf - from type novices to more experienced graphic designers and typesetters.
