Summary: "Praised for both its content and its design. The Production Manual covers everything to do with production for graphic design; from basics such as paper sizes and terminology through working with images and text, exploring different pre-press techniques, and the processes involved in bringing a project to press. Written in a straightforward and visually rich style, The Production Manual is an invaluable resource for students and designers alike. New to the second edition of the Production Manual are six case studies from international design studios Pentagram, NB Studio, Clormann Design, Anagrama, and Blok among others. There is also expanded information about working with images, as well as updated information on the production process which highlights new techniques, and more coverage of digital technologies and environmental and sustainability issues."
