Review:
|
Schriver's book describes how document design has evolved, discusses how users react to different facets of documents (for example typography, illustrations, and examples). The book uses case studies extensively and draws on research from rhetoric, design, writing and cognitive science. Schriver's work highlights how interactions among different variables (for example, justification, word spacing, and leading) affect readability and interpretation and how designers should be cautious about basing decisions on"main effects".
