Typographic organization has always been a complex system in that there are so many elements at play, such as hierarchy, order of reading, legibility, and contrast. In <i>Typographic Systems</i>, Kim Elam, author of our bestselling books, <i>Geometry of Design</i> and <i>Grid Systems</i>, explores eight major structural frameworks beyond the gridincluding random, radial, modular, and bilateralsystems. By taking the reader through exercises, student work, and professional examples, Elam offers a broad range of design solutions. <p>Once essential visual organization systems are understood the designer can fluidly organize words or images within a structure, combination of structures, or a variation of a structure. With clarity and substance, each systemfrom the structured axis to the nonhierarchical radial arrayis explained and explored so that the reader comes away with a better understanding of these intricate complex arrangements. <i>Typographic Systems</i> is the seventh title in our bestselling Design Briefs series, which has sold more than 100,000 copies worldwide.
