 A graphic design teachers resource December 15, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
James Craig's book "Designing with Type" and companion website proved to be a valuable resource to me this past semester. I have been developing a sequence of graphic design classes moving from "Intro" through "4" level. "Designing with Type" helped me structure the "GD 1" level around typography in a way that both addressed valuable typographic history and allowed for creative opportunities to begin a portfolio. My students were engaged and inspired by the great selection of student work available both in the book and on the website. The handouts were brief and needed adjustment for my particular class's needs, but the concepts were clear, progressive and consistent. My class was challenged and motivated, and I have found enough material to move into a second semester of "GD 2". Focusing on typography in a categorical way at the "GD1" level has helped bring type into students' conscious designing rather than see it as purely decorative. Thanks for the book and the website,

I bought this as a required textbook, but know I will use it over and over again. Great reference for anyone interested in typeface and how to use different fonts.
Great Book for the Price!! October 28, 2008
For the price, you couldn't ask for a better introduction to typography. This book looks and feel great! It is well designed-very clear and straightforward. It is well written, give numerous helpful examples and tips and guides you through the information using pictures. I've read a good amount of type books and this one stands out as being one of the most helpful books on the subject.
Designing with Type September 1, 2008
This is a great book for learning how to use typography in design. Anyone who is in any design field should look into this book, it will increase you abilities as a designer.
Classic must have August 7, 2008
An absolute must have for any beginning typography student or instructor. User friendly, it covers the fundamentals of typography comprehensively and with great clarity. I have used it as a text book, when I taught beginning typography and continue to recommend it for my Intermediate and Advanced type classes. No teacher or student of typography should be without this one. Truly a classic from a real pro.
