Everything Graphic Designers Need To Know Every Day

Graphic designers and others responsible for preparing printed materials
frequently refer to a variety of diagrams, swatches, templates, conversion
tables, and other resources that help them do their job. However, few
designers have all the resources they need at their fingertips. Those who
work independently, or in small studio environments, often find themselves
wasting time searching the Web or seeking out other sources for the information
they need. Others in large studio or agency environments may have
access to a vast library of resources but find themselves spending just
as much time looking through volumes of materials before they find the
information they need.
The Graphic Design Reference and Specification Book is a compilation of
essential information—a reference manual that provides designers with information
they need on a daily basis, from consulting a library of type samples,
to identifying a specific font, to checking the style and dimensions of a specific
type of envelope, to under-standing when it is appropriate to abbreviate a
state or country name in the acceptable format. There’s even a bibliography at
the end of the book to help, if additional information is needed.
The Graphic Design Reference and Specification Book was created to answer
the questions that designers ask most often and to deliver this information in
a concise, understandable, and easy-to-access way. No frills, no excess—just
bottom-line information to help you produce your projects.
