Making and breaking the grid : a graphic design layout workshop
For designers working in every medium, layout is arguably one of the most basic, and most important, aspects of effective communication. Using grids to organize layouts became a design standard in the 1950s and has seen a renewed interest in recent years. But nearly from the start, some designers sought to violate rational layout structures in favor of expression, sparking an ongoing ideological debate. These opposing positions have generated some of the most compelling graphic design ever created, and each offers valid considerations for any project a designer may undertake - the challenge is to determine which best serves a project's goals. Making and Breaking the Grid presents the most comprehensive, accessible, in-depth exposition of layout concepts ever published - re-envisioned and radically augmented in this long-awaited second edition. Choosing to follow the rules, or break them, depends first on understanding what those rules accomplish, and then making sense of contradictory practices - by seeing them in action in practical, real-world situations. Features: 60 pages of new, expanded instructional material that describes the fundamentals of grid-based and alternative layout approaches - defining option, development methods, and strategies for effective use. 500+ new images and schematic diagrams. 70 case studies from an international roster of preeminent preeminent designers and studios, encompassing print, screen-based, and environmental application. Each project is shown comprehensively to reveal layout structure at a size that allows for inspection of detail. Case study text discusses designers' working process and rationale. Projects with both similar and contrasting characteristics are linked through a simple notational system that encourages exploration and comparison. Heightened emphasis on device-responsive UX design and time-based media. Overviews summarize the evolutions of grid-based and alternative layout concepts in modern design practice. A new, comprehensive index and extensive bibliography for further investigation. -- From back cover.

Manufacturing facilities design and material handling
\"Designed for junior- and senior-level courses in plant and facilities planning and manufacturing systems and procedures, this textbook also is suitable for graduate-level and two-year college courses. The book takes a practical, hands-on, project-oriented approach to exploring the techniques and procedures for developing an efficient facility layout. It also introduces state-of-the-art tools including computer simulation. Access to Layout-iQ workspace planning software is included for purchasers of the book. Theoretical concepts are clearly explained and then rapidly applied to a practical setting through a detailed case study at the end of the volume. The book systematically leads students through the collection, analysis, and development of information to produce a quality functional plant layout for a lean manufacturing environment. All aspects of facility design, from receiving to shipping, are covered. In the sixth edition of this successful book, numerous updates and corrections have been made, and a chapter on engineering cost estimating and analysis has been added. Also, rather than including brief case-in-point examples at the end of each chapter, a single, detailed case study is provided that better exposes students to the multiple considerations that need to be taken into account when improving efficiency in a real manufacturing facility. The textbook has enjoyed substantial international adoptions and has been translated into Spanish and Chinese\"-- Provided by publisher.
