Purchase options and add-ons

This fully updated guide shows students how to create beautiful type with Adobe InDesign. Using practical examples, loads of tips, and sidebars to provide additional detail, the author provides a comprehensive overview of all of InDesign's type features, including new features in InDesign CS6 and CC – Smart Text Reflow, Auto-size text frames, Conditional Text, and Object Styles to name a few. Starting with character formats and then moving through paragraph formats, styles and effects, and layouts, this book teaches all the skills students need to produce beautiful type.
New to this edition is expanded coverage of issues of burning interest to typographers who create text for online display. This includes not only text delivered via web sites (with new material on using Google Web Fonts and Adobe’s own TypeKit fonts) but also ebooks and tablet-based interactive publications produced via the Adobe Digital Publishing Solution (DPS). Nigel gives valuable tips for using InDesign for ePUB production, including embedding fonts, creating drop caps, and defining text wraps. He also prepares modern typographers for the complexities of laying out DPS publications, with explanations of Alternate Layouts , Layout Adjustment, and Liquid Layouts (to have page content properly reflow when readers change the orientation of their tablets).
More than ever, modern typographers need to be prepared to craft type that will be used in a wide variety of media, from the printed page to the high-resolution displays of mobile devices, and this new edition of InDesign Type is the perfect guidebook for them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally! Finally! Widows/Orphans explained accurately.
Reviewed in the United States on 1 May 2014

Years I have spent, researching, going back to my college education, and none of my instructors could get this right. As a typography instructor I searched for the correct definition of widows, orphans, and line runts, and finally found this with "Elements of Typographic Style," by Robert Bringhurst. Bringhurst's book is known as the typographic bible, however this information is so misrepresented in many typography books by typography authorities. Nigel's book finally explains it correctly. It is very clear. I have been Crusader Rabbit about this information, and I fully support—and very much appreciate—Nigel being on the mark. Thank you so very much. I will recommend (and I do) your material to my students.

…freaked out slightly, that I missed the other two additions. Hmmm. I ditched books for awhile and wrote my own material.

I might also add, this book is very relevant material for anyone wanting to have intelligent, attractive, and usable/readable layouts using InDesign. As a content-focused designer, I can honestly say there is nothing in this book that isn't crucial to know as a professional. A lot of what I know about publication design I have learned from Nigel (lynda.com) and I fully support the information here.

I have to say this, also: When I grade and give feedback, I spend untold hours explaining and referring students to resources. I think, about 90% of what I need to refer my student to, are in this book. It would make a lot of sense to make this a required textbook for a typography class, and graphic design in general.

I will need to revisit this review when I get more into the content. Love this book! I could sit and read it like a novel. Thanks, Nigel.

I have not been paid to write this review. I really believe all this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Teaches typography on InDesign well, but get the print version.

The advice is brilliant but the presentation of the Kindle book is best avoided. Go for the print version if you can. Using my secondhand printed book (the previous edition) is a much more joyful experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than the book I bought last year
Reviewed in the United States on 8 March 2015

Better than the book I bought last year, this Indesign book explains clearly the rules of typography for whom wants to work with Indesign. However, you'll need to have a little bit of Indesign knowledge. At least you should know what a tools panel is, a layer, how to import a picture, a text, the masterpages, etc. etc. I really like the way the book is made, each chapter corresponding to a step up in the software learning.Sincerely it takes a litlle bit of time to read and apply the rules compared to a tutorial online, but it's worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best, easy to use guidelines

I should have bought this book first! Has the best information on hyphenation and justification; I was struggling to get my book to look right and was using h and j parameters that other authors recommended, then I used French's parameters, and BINGO! my book snapped into place and looks great! Best money spent on a how-to book!
