Graphic Design Manual

Armin Hofmann’s varied, modern work is characterized by its reliance on the fundamental elements of design—point, line, and shape—and the use of color and fonts that are economical yet creative. The thoroughly revised edition of the 1965 design manual classic is still setting standards. Particularly in times of the return to clear geometric forms and patterns, his rich body of work serves as a perfect starting point for contemporary design practices. Elements of image and form are analyzed and examined according to their inherent laws. To correspond to modern computer-friendly design processes, this new edition has been divided into sections that use Microsoft Word software. Thus adapting Hofmann’s methods to the requirements of modern graphic design and serving as a valuable handbook for a new generation of graphic designers.
