typography and hypertextuality - book review

New Typographic design
I actually i read this a long time ago but thankfully i made some notes before returning the book.

Ok this book starts with the history of the good/bad development of the printing media itself. So it starts with writing as a fine craftmanship but slowly changed by entrepreneurs  into a cheap publishing company. And also it talks a lot about bodoni and his works. ok thats the bad ones, the good ones comes after it says that people tend to become innovative and  it also tellshow it effects young designers. After a few pages of introductions they have a bunch of collection of typography and categorize into 4 types

  1.  Type as form
  2. Type as Image
  3. Type as Experiment
  4. Type as motion

WalkMate: need a friend to walk with? Check people near you who is going the same way with walkmate 3.PetHelp: for those who got a new pet but dunno how take care of it After talking it with the lecturer we decided the third one would be suitable.
