Making Words Work was designed for graphic designers, typographers, and print production professionals. It explored...
- Typography: Principles of selecting and arranging typefaces to ensure readability and aesthetic appeal.
- Layout Design: Techniques for structuring content to guide the reader’s eye effectively.
- Production Processes: Insights into the technical aspects of print, including paper selection, printing methods, and binding.
- Visual Communication: Strategies to align design choices with the intended message, making printed materials both functional and engaging.
The book emphasised practical application, drawing on Spencer’s expertise in typography (noted for his work on The Penrose Annual and Typographica) and Visick’s experience in design pedagogy. It aimed to bridge the gap between creative design and the technical demands of print production, reflecting the era’s shift toward desktop publishing and digital design tools.
