Editorial Review Product Description He begins with a basic premise: Start a publication on something known, or about a specific area. The publications that have made him successful are local papers, speciality magazines, and guides. Once subject and venue are determined, it's time to consider software tools, arranging an office for productivity, how to get advertisers, how to market your product, whom to hire (and how much to pay them), and all the other aspects of profitability. In the sea of publishing books on the market, here's one that tells everything publishers need to know in one place.

Great Basics in an Easy to Carry and Use Design I have used this book for years as a resource guide for 9-12 grade students, but it is outstanding for anyone seeking a basic reference of the terminology used in desktop publishing. The layout program you use doesn't matter, as the information applies to any program. The book is laid out well, the type is large, and the spiral binding helps a lot. There are clear, specific examples for the terms, and I loved the area that has suggestions for layout and design. The price is reasonable and the book is handy to carry, not cumbersome at all. A great desk and classroom reference guide for everyone. A staple for your reference list, especially if you are teaching DTP. ... Read more |

A great book, but a misleading title. Roger C. Parker is a recognized expert in his field, and this book exemplifies his experience as if it were his portfolio and resume. From lessons on defining your message to practical tips on layout and the proper uses of color and type, most readers will certainly find some helpful bit of advice in this book. BUT IT ISN'T ABOUT WEB DESIGN! This book contains no code, NONE, not one tag. Though there are good illustrations explaining the usefulness of tables and frames, for example, this book will not give you even the slightest hint as to how to create these elements on a page. The same can also be said of graphics. (However, the book does provide excellent insight into the subliminal impact of perforations, folds, and paper texture). And while technology marches on, this book has not - it remains a relic from the age of 28.8K modems. So let us appreciate this book for what it is, a fantastic book on the fundamentals of graphic design. But readers might be better served by Parker's master work "Looking Good in Print" (ISBN 1566048567); its lessons apply just as well to PowerPoint and the World Wide Web. Fans of this series who actually want to make web sites might also consider "Web Design for Dummies"... it's about web design.
Great stuff for newbies!

Excellent Resource
A little less than I had hoped it would be.
The Desktop Publisher's Idea Book, Second Edition I have gone to Chuck's web site Ideabook.com for years to get ideas and reference. I was always amazed how Chuck could have so much information and by the use of layout, colour and graphics make the site inviting, fun and yet not cluttered. His book follows his web site design in that he shows both great design and how to instructions in a very appealing and easy to follow way. Chuck's ability to simplify the complex is unique and to me very valuable. Tremendous value, a must have reference book.

The only digital design book you will ever need!
4.5 stars: Very good primer! The book is assembled around five building blocks: -Establishing a Layout Style: designing and typesetting the book. Finally, there is a short section devoted to the very debated topic of copyright and the law. In general, I found the book to be very useful and beautifully illustrated, but it still is a primer. For each of the sections mentioned above, in order to deeply understand and get a command of them, you will need other references. I give it 4.5 stars.
Editor's Choice: "A Masterful Vision of Publishing" This book will appeal to a wide community of readers -- not just the desktop publisher or publications designer.Aside from its essential information of publishing in a digital age, it also celebrates the book as a medium which will always portray the very best of the minds of people. Whether your book becomes a mass produced best seller, or a hand-made, one-of-a-kind art treasure Holleley's Digital Book will help you make it happen. Educators: I also feel strongly this is an important book for educators. College and University level graphic design, printing, publishing and even journalism curricula planners should seriously consider integrating this book into their plan. As a university instructor myself, I can see this as an important part of any visual art and literary foundation program. It will arm those freshmen with a superior breadth of understanding in preparation for the higher level courses. Fred Showker |
