This newly revised book was first published in 1965. Elements of image and form are analysed and examined with regard to their inherent laws. The lessons of methodical design are used today in computer monitor design as well. The desktop publishing technique requires very clear conceptual and methodical working processes. This book, which is divided into computer-system-friendly sections, will thus serve this new circle of users as a valuable introduction.

A design classic from the '60s, this book introduces the simple concept of the relationship of a dot and a line and then provides a ton of examples of varying complexity. There isn't much to read beyond the first few pages, but it's timeless and fun to flip through.
