Basics of Designing - Desktop Publishing

From what DTP is and why it’s used, to who uses it and which software are best for it — author Bittu Kumar takes you through all the fundamental concepts of Desktop Publishing (DTP). With step-by-step instructions, real screenshots, and clear illustrations, this book explains how to effectively use MS Word, Microsoft Paint, and MS Publisher to become a skilled Desktop Publisher. More importantly, the book helps you understand the five key questions that every designer must ask when applying design principles to a DTP project: What is the project designed to communicate? What format will best communicate the project’s message? What design constraints does the project budget impose? What design techniques will help the viewer understand the message? It also gives an overview of how to effectively use the five graphic design tools — Space, Fonts, Color, Illustration & Photography, and Consistency — to create visually appealing and impactful designs. #v&spublishers
