Robin Williams provides a practical introduction to the classical principles of design in this pamphlet-sized book. Her discussion of layout is organized around four basic design principles: Contrast, Repetition, Alignment and Proximity. Each is presented in its own chapter with plenty of you-can-do-it-at-home examples. The typography section explains the principles of Concord, Conflict and Contrast, based on Williams'classification of type faces by style (Oldstyle, Modern, Slab Serif, Sans Serif, Script and Decorative), weight (Light, Bold), Shape (Narrow, Wide), and spacing. A discussion of color is notably absent; the roots of this book in early grayscale Macintosh computing show through.
Williams's book should hit the mark for amateurs creating one-page designs such as simple web sites, brochures or business cards. Set aside an hour or two to read it and do the exercises, and your designs should improve immensely. Mine have.

P12
Once you can name something, you're conscious of it. You have power over it. You own it. You're in control.
Put it into words.- name the problem.
Four basic principles:
1. Contrast
2. Repetition
3. Alignment
4. Proximity: physical closeness implies a relationship. group related items together.
By grouping similar elements into one unit, several things instantly happen: The page becomes more organized. You understand where to begin reading the message, and you know when you are finished. And the "white space" automatically becomes more organized as well.
be organized both intellectually and visually.

读这本书之前 我对设计或颜色的认识很浅薄 是这书让我跨进了会欣赏好的设计与指出不好设计的能力大门 比如这本书的封面就非常的好 contrast 非常明显 突出了主题, 然后配色合理,alignment 非常强, flush left, 并且分成三个group, 非常好的proximity, 然后那个灰色的配色repeat 了三次 增强了整体感, 运用了repetition 的原则, 哈哈哈 想不到... 读这本书之前 我对设计或颜色的认识很浅薄 是这书让我跨进了会欣赏好的设计与指出不好设计的能力大门 比如这本书的封面就非常的好 contrast 非常明显 突出了主题, 然后配色合理,alignment 非常强, flush left, 并且分成三个group, 非常好的proximity, 然后那个灰色的配色repeat 了三次 增强了整体感, 运用了repetition 的原则, 哈哈哈 想不到我能说出这么多道理来了 正如作者说的 Once you can name it, you'll be able to be conscious of it.

真的很实用,很适合业余的基础平面文字设计;虽然有些道理大家都懂,点明了并且归类下次做的时候才会真的去有意识的使用:you can break the rule only when you know the rule;

本书最大优点是创立了C.R.A.P.这个系统,对新手很友好且具有操作性,最大的缺点是作者对某些花里胡哨的字体蜜汁喜欢,品味有待提高。
