Product Description
Layout Workbook is one of five volumes in Rockport’s series of practical and inspirational workbooks that cover the fundamental areas of the graphic design business. In this edition, author Kristin Cullen tackles the often perplexing job of nailing down a layout that works.
More than a collection of fantastic examples of layout, this book is an invaluable resource for students, designers, and creative professionals who seek design understanding and inspiration. The book illuminates the broad category of layout, communicating specifically what it takes to design with excellence. It also addresses the heart of design-the how and why of the creative process.
Cullen approaches layout with a series of step-by-step fundamental chapters (a “how-to” of layout) addressing topics such as The Function of Design, Inspiration, The Design Process, Intuition, Structure and Organization, The Interaction of Visual Elements, Typography, and Design Analysis. The book offers inspirational quotations and a unique, progressive design that truly reflects its content.

You will learn something if you are a novice, but if you have already taken a layout course this book doesn’t offer you much.

This book was a fantastic refresher after having graduated with my design degree nearly a year ago. I was searching for a small inspiration before putting myself on the market again for a better graphic design job. This book was everything I was looking for and more. It is inspiring, educational and provides fantastic insight into the process of making purposeful design. Wonderful guide for students as well as graduates. Fantastic buy, especially for the price! My two thumbs up!

Deceptive title. Expected more in-depth material on layouts, grids and publication design. Turned out to be more of a graphic design basics book that gives surface level info on various design concepts. Not really a workbook either – no interactive exercises or anything. Last 1/3 of the book basically profiles various design firms and certain print publications they’ve made. Again – very surface level analysis.
Not recommended for intermediate/advanced designers.
