About this video

Description

Graphic design can be a high-priced proposition. Fancy paper is expensive; photographs are pricey; clever die-cuts are costly; illustrations are a luxury. Typography, however, is cheap. It always makes sense to have a collection of low-cost typographic tricks in your arsenal of design tools. Allan Haley looks at real-world examples of great typography done “on the cheap.” Whether you’re looking for inspiration, practical guidelines, or a hatful of cheap type tricks, this presentation delivers it.
