Sbírka ctností i hříchů pro grafické designéry Zeptejte se jakéhokoli grafického designéra na světě, podle čeho vybírá font a barvu a jak postupuje při tvorbě nového layoutu, a nikdy neuslyšíte stejnou odpověď. Každý tvůrce má svůj vlastní kreativní přístup, a což je možná mnohem podstatnější, vlastní způsob, jak vybrat a zkombinovat stovky a stovky technik, které jsou při tvorbě designového projektu k dispozici. Existují však jistá pravidla, jež nepřestanou nikdy platit. Přinejmenším dokud se budeme ptát, kudy vede cesta k nejlepšímu grafickému designu.

Knihu tvoří tematicky řazené příspěvky autorů, nad nimiž se můžete nadšeně tetelit nebo pohrdavě šklebit - záleží, zda milujete či nenávidíte dělení slov, jestli máte fobií z béžové, nebo si myslíte, že mřížky jsou nuda.
