InDesign CS4: Typography explores the numerous type options, type-related features,
and type-specific preferences of Adobe InDesign CS4. Using practical, real-world
examples, instructor and designer Nigel French explains the purpose of each feature
and describes the conventions for how and when to use it. Nigel dissects the anatomy
of a typeface and defines the terminology needed for the successful application of
typography. He moves from the micro to the macro level, addressing such issues as
choosing page size; determining the size of margins; adjusting number columns; and
achieving a clean, structured look with baseline grids. This course is essential for
anyone looking to expand their work from just laying out a page to understanding the
hows and whys of typography. Exercise files accompany this course.
