Design Elements

 A Graphic Style Manual 

Understanding the rules and knowing when to break them
Design Elements is the most compact and lucid handbook available outlining the basic principles of layout, typography, colour usage and space. Being a creative designer is often about coming up with unique design solutions. Unfortunately, when the basic rules of design are ignored in an effort to be distinctive, design becomes useless. In language, a departure from the rules is only appreciated as great literature if recognition of the rules underlies the text. Graphic design is a 'visual language' and brilliance is recognised in designers whose work seems to break all the rules, yet communicates its messages clearly.
In dem bei »Rockport« erschienenen Buch »Design Elements« ist MAGMA Brand Design mit acht Arbeitsbeispielen vertreten.
