A History of the High Heel Book- Image, Typography, Layout and Print & Finish

I have been researching books on Image, Typography, Layout and Print & Finish by Ambrose and Harris to give me some ideas on the way I will present the pages in my book.









I have found many pages that have helped me in my design such as colour codes, leading and kerning, legibility and readability, print finishing, perfect binding, embossing, and grids.

























































I have also looked at The Layout book also by Ambrose and Harris.
This book has taught me a lot about White space. White space is not necessarily white, as it refers as any space in the design without text or graphic elements. Designers naturally insert white space into their designs to help the composition and make the information the design contains easier to access, such as leaving margins at the sides of the page that create space around text blocks. Swiss typographer Jan Tschichold called white space 'the lungs of a good design'. Without white space, with every part of the design area filled, there is a danger that a design would look cramped and difficult to understand.
