Review by Roger C. Parker for Typography Workbook: A Real-World Guide to Using Type in Graphic Design

Few books share the cadre of enthusiastic readers that Robert Bringhurst created with his Elements of Typographic Style.
But, Timothy Samara’s Typography Workbook comes close, and, in some ways, is equally useful. (The two books complement each other quite well).
Samara manages to combine the technical with the inspirational. His tutorials on typeface design and layout are compellingly written and informative, but where the Typography Workbook realkly shines is the glorious color reproductions of type in use. Nothing communicates like color illustrations, and the Typographic Workbook contains hundreds of samples.
The Typography Workbook is an ideal choice for student or faculty alike. Text has been concisely edited, permitting large visuals to illustrate the points being made, as well as alternative approaches. Use it as an introductory text, a practical guide next to your computer, or for inspiration when needed.

A very good overview of typography in everyday situations, as a how-to and as shown by example. Many of the examples are in a style I don’t personally like (I’m a traditionalist by nature and modern typography often borders on the chaotic in my opinion) but as a designer seeing what’s being done out there is a necessity. This book is more than just a typographic showcase of current thought and work – it presents sound principles that underscore what’s presented.

I made the mistake of assumption. In light of trying to be helpful to those who are assuming the same, I should point out that:
The definition of a “workbook” (freedictionary.com):
work·book (wûrkbk)
n.
1. A booklet containing problems and exercises that a student may work directly on the pages.
2. A manual containing operating instructions, as for an appliance or machine.
3. A book in which a record is kept of work proposed or accomplished.
This was my assumption. This is not a workbook, nor is it a guide about how to accomplish anything. The book is a comprehensive and concise reference book inappropriate as a class text. I will say it is very interesting; and the examples are wonderful and entertaining for those who are interested in typography but not instructors.
…an unfortunate title for this book was chosen.

There is very valuable information in this book when it comes to website design. Graphics, of course, are a huge part of putting a website together and this book really helps us find ways to make the sites professional looking and user friendly.

This book is for anyone interested in the visual arts. Using the story of Little Red Riding Hood, Molly Bang explores visual communication by playing with simple geometric shapes and discussing their effect. For example, Molly creates Red as a small triangle but experiments with Red as a square, circle, or amorphous shape. Later, Molly creates the wolf as as a longer, sleeker triangle with sharper angles that create a sense of danger. She turns the angles into curves to see the impact of angles. She changes the color of the wolf from black to muave. She adds different shapes and colors of eyes; and teeth.In other words, she constantly experiments – and shows you the experiments – of different composition values and the mood they create. At the end, she summarizes what she learned as rules for composition.Whether you draw, paint, or take pictures, this book will help you with composition.

Using the story of Little Red Riding Hood this book is focusing on the basic principles of composing images.Reduced to the maximum and using simple colors and arrangements of basic elements like circles or triangles, the drawings as well as the short, precise text within this book are pointing out, how simple and complex arrangements within pictures work, transfer obvious (and hidden) messages, how philosophy and psychology witin pictures works. Therefor its a book telling the story why pictures may lie, may influence, may manipulate an observer even though obviously just showing “reality”.Whether you are taking photographs, drawing or designing – this book is a absolute must! A photo/image tells more than thousand words – here you will find the answer how and why. Great to read and watch, easy and fast to understand – even though dealing with a most complex matter.Finally a personal statement and hint for an esthetes: if you like to possess a book with an outer shape and appearance that promises, what the contents keeps, than you have to buy the nice hard cover version instead of the cheaper soft cover version – it will pay off for sure.

I love this book and using it for teaching basic design ideas…a fellow teacher uses it in Psychology! The simple story of Little Red Riding Hood serves as the basis for discussion how line, color, shape, etc. work in art. Such a great idea…wish there were others of this type. I will be using it to teach the elements of art in Art History this fall.

Don’t be misled by the simple pictures and storybook style into thinking this a just a book for children. I have given this book to several adult friends, including some who are professional artists. We all learned something from Molly Bang’s clear and compelling explanations of the principles of visual composition.

This book is amazing…the illustrations are simple, clear and compelling and the narrative approach to understanding the art elements and principles makes this rather dry topic into a fascinating tale. I have purchased several copies of this book for friends and plan to use it in my middle school art classroom.
