Armin Hofmann's richly varied work is recognized for its reliance on the fundamental elements of graphic form - point, line, and shape - and the economic use of color and fonts. The thoroughly revised edition of the 1965 design ma-nual classic is still setting standards. Especially in times of the re-turn to clear and minimalistic geomet-ric forms and patterns, his rich body of work serves as a perfect starting point for contemporary design practices. Elements of image and form are ana-lyzed and examined with regard to their inherent laws. To correspond to the contemporary design techniques, this new edition is divided into computer-system-friendly sections. Thus adapting Hofmann's methods to the requirement of modern design practices and serv-ing as a valuable handbook for a new generation of designers.

From the Back Cover
Cette oeuvre dont la première édition, depuis longtemps épuisée, remonte à 1965, se présente dans une version nouvelle entièrement revue. Au moment de sa parution, ce livre pouvait être considéré comme un essai fondamentalement neuf de traiter méthodiquement les problèmes posés par la création de l'image et de la forme.
Son objectif est de progresser pas à pas en partant du plus simple pour aller aux principes, au différencié jusqu'au compliqué. Les éléments de l'image et de la forme sont analysés et étudiés dans leur légitimité. Les connaissances obtenues par l'étude logique de la matière peuvent s'apprendre. Elles appartiennent à l'arsenal de tout graphiste et de tout typographe. L'enseignement méthodique de la création trouve aujourd'hui un emploi également dans la création au petit écran. Le traitement automatique des textes au moyen de l'ordinateur personnel se répand de plus en plus. Le procédé dit "Desktop Publishing" (composition automatique pour le bureau) exige conceptualisation et méthode.
Cet ouvrage ordonné selon une systématique adaptée à l'ordinateur rendra ainsi de précieux services comme manuel d'introduction pour ce nouveau groupe d'utilisateurs.
