Book excerpt: Excerpt from Writing Illuminating,& Lettering In issuing these volumes of a series of Handbooks Editors on the Artistic Crafts, it will be well to state what Preface are our general aims. In the first place, we wish to provide trustworthy text-books of workshop practice, from the points of view of experts who have critically examined the methods current in the shops, and putting aside vain survivals, are prepared to say what is good workmanship, and to set up a standard of quality in the crafts which are more especially associated with design. Secondly, in doing this, we hope to treat design itself as an essential part of good workmanship. During the last century most of the arts, save painting and sculpture of an academic kind, were little considered, and there was a tendency to look on "design" as a mere matter of appearance. Such "ornamentation" as there was was usually obtained by following in a mechanical way a drawing provided by an artist who often knew little of the technical processes involved in production.

Book excerpt: "The Johnston typeface influenced the design of the whole London transport system and is seen, in an adapted form, every day by millions on Tube trains, station signs, buses, posters, leaflets and maps.A symbol of London, globally recognised, the Johnston typeface is 100 years old in 2016. This book celebrates the typeface and the life and work of its creator, Edward Johnston. Illustrated with images from the collections at London Transport Museum and other relevant collections, it tells of the journey that the Johnston typeface has taken from Johnston's first meeting with Frank Pick in 1913 to the advent of New Johnston and its evolution and use up to the London 2012 Olympics.The influence of Johnston on typography and design was and continues to be profound. London Transport Museum's collection captures both the genesis of this ground breaking typography and its use, misuse and adaptation across a century. The roundel and Johnston typeface have been the basis of the brand for Transport for London (TfL) and its predecessors for over a century. 0Together they provide a unified corporate identity which visually unites the Capital's transport services but have also come to symbolise London itself, giving London its signature. Designed by award winning book designer, Webb and Webb."--Publisher's website (viewed 12/09/2016).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, calligraphy has evolved from an esoteric art form to an everyday pursuit for artists, students, and amateurs.

Well-illustrated, step-by-step instructions by an expert calligrapher explain every detail of the two most popular calligraphic alphabets.

It concludes with a wealth of advice on layout and design as well as inspiration for original projects.
