Inspirational work combined with practical advice. In the world of print, paper choice influences every design project, and designers often complain about the lack of genuinely good reference material for projects requiring a strong design input. "Choosing and Using Paper for Great Graphic Design" fills this gap. Case studies detail how the paper was chosen, the innovative treatments applied (folding, binding, cutting, embossing, printing, etc), and why they make the piece successful. By highlighting what was made possible through the paper choice, and how it affected the final design, this guide shows how paper influences and enhances graphic design and explains how to choose and use the right paper for the job.

This comprehensive book examines approaches to teaching students who aim to make the leap from `advanced` or `superior` proficiency in a foreign language to `near-native` ability. While there are copious publications on classroom techniques and methods for lower levels of instruction, virtually nothing exists about this transition, which is vital for those who intend to use foreign languages in high-level international arenas. This book, by leading practitioners in this area of foreign language teaching, aims to fill this gap and assist those developing language programmes at the `advanced to distinguished` level. * Divided into three parts which provide information on different aspects of teaching at this level - theory of advanced...

Usability design is one of the most important--yet often least attractive--tasks for a Web developer. In Dont Make Me Think, author Steve Krug lightens up the subject with good humor and excellent, to-the-point examples. The title of the book is its chief personal design premise. All of the tips, techniques, and examples presented revolve around users being able to surf merrily through a well-designed site with minimal cognitive strain. Readers will quickly come to agree with many of the books assumptions, such as "We dont read pages--we scan them" and "We dont figure out how things work--we muddle through." Coming to grips with such hard facts sets the stage for Web design that then produces topnotch sites. Using an attractive mix...
