Reviews

Advertisers were among the first to grasp the significance of desktop publishing for their industry. Floyd and Wilson distill the experiences of promoters and their computers by emphasizing two themes--visibility and clarity. Use color to make your ads noteworthy, they advise, and stick to simple and balanced designs to avoid confusion. After eight chapters on these themes, a final chapter gives you a peek into the future, where there's no escaping ads by FAX, bulletin boards, CD-ROM, and diskette. Appendixes guide you to resources from software to consultants. Serious but practical
