When used together, asymmetrical typography, geometric layout, and photographic illustration defined the radical new form language of Modernist design. Bullet points, should ideally be in the page margin. To these designers the rules of the old typography, weapon and the most popular tool of the new graphic design. Its principles were promulgated worldwide in philosophical essays and technical manuals by El Lissitzky, László Moholy-Nagy, Paul Renner, and its most devout (and rigid) adherent, Jan Tschichold. The hallmarks of the New Typography movement. No one could say they actually saw it, but they knew of someone who had. Modern design software does not make it easy for us to handle this correctly. Designers and design historians told me over the years that they had heard about the existence of a Nazi graphics standards manual. It includes a glossary and a book about the history of fonts, graphic design, using typography on the web and much more. The Typography Manual is a nice resource for graphic designers who work with fonts. His Elementare Typographie insert was a manual that literally pointed out how designers, printers and typesetters could go about designing with these principles in mind (1). Having good typography skills is a must for a designer and the way you can develop them is by learning from the best techniques that are available on the net. I recently collaborated with three other designers, Molly Hein, Catherine Grothe and Christina Rimstad, to create a conceptual response to Emil Ruder's text Typographie: A Manual of Design. Punctuation marks and bullet points are something which is easily forgotten in typography. Considering my grid and structure for my 'What is design for print' ISSUU manual is an absolute necessity.
