Retinart - Reflections on the Joyous Elegance of Graphic Design and Creative Thought

Retinart - Reflections on the Joyous Elegance of Graphic Design and Creative Thought:

My last two posts are from the Retinart site/blog. If you have an interest in Graphics you need to ad this to your bookmarks or subscribe to the feed.

Retinart is written by Alex Charchar a graphic designer and lover of all things clever, from the trivial to the profound.

"I've been in love with the industry of graphic design for quite a while and couldn't imagine passing my time indulging in anything else. What more could I want other than this world of creative thought and beautiful expressions?"

Alex is always happy to hear your thoughts and opinions, so please feel free to email and comment, or go to the contact page.

The Secret Law of Page Harmony - Retinart

As last post but magazine

The Secret Law of Page Harmony - Retinart: "Minimal Magazine Spread

One with which I truly had some fun.

I worked to have the text play within the guides, rather than be manipulated by them. The baseline of the intro paragraph sits near the 1/6th intersection, the tower sits so the island upon which it stands is at the bottom of the textblock but the cross-page diagonal shoots right through the middle of it.

The Secret Law of Page Harmony - Retinart

If you have been asked to design and layout a book recently then this is a must read.

The Secret Law of Page Harmony - Retinart: "This method existed long before the computer, the printing press and even a defined measuring unit. No picas or points, no inches or millimeters. It can be used with nothing more than a straight edge, a piece of paper and a pencil.

And you can still use it. This is a system which is still as valid, beautiful and elegant with ultra-modern design as it ever was for the work of the scribes, Gutenberg and Tschichold.
The Secret Canon & Page Harmony

Books were once a luxury only the richest could afford and would take months of work to be brought to fruition.

And they were harmoniously beautiful.

The bookmakers knew the secret to the perfect book. They shared among themselves a system—a canon—by which their blocks of text and the pages they were printed on would “agree with one another and become a harmonious unit.”

So elegant is this method of producing harmony that a few designers saw to rediscover it. Even though it was considered a trade-secret, they all came to the same conclusion, hundreds of years apart, independent of one another, but each supported by the other.

The Pen That Never Runs Out Of Ink - The Resident Architect:
They call this The Inkless Metal Pen. Now maybe you're asking - 'Why is it called the Inkless Metal Pen if it never runs out of ink', well because it actually does not write with ink and it does not need ink to write. It has a special metal alloy tip that does the writing.
