Working with Computer Type: Color and Type is a handsome, full-color guide that provides digital artists with many examples of successful combinations of color and type. The book first teaches color-related concepts such as hue, value, and saturation, and then explores the issues of color contrast. Almost half of the text is dedicated to displaying colored text on colored backgrounds with primary, secondary, tertiary, monochromatic, and achromatic colors. These pages are indispensable for helping you develop effective color palettes for your work. Working with Type also shows many real-world examples of great-looking type and color, including a book cover, brochure, catalog, CD package, magazine, and poster. Throughout the book, the author gives you tips on selecting the best color scheme for your typeface, your message, and your intended audience.
