Excerpt

Design is an integral part of television. Good design or the lack of it can be seen in the set design, opening and closing titles, and the overall look of a particular program. Designing quality graphics requires an understanding of what makes one image more effective than another. In order to make this distinction, it is necessary to become familiar with the visual tools necessary to examine television graphics critically and then to apply those principles in design.

Review by Professor Emeritus Jim Ver Hague
"The book is comprehensive in scope, written in an easy to understand manner, and strikes an excellent balance between theory and practice...More than anything, the best possible outcome for a book like this is that it will inspire the readers to find their own unique creative style in this very exciting field of television graphic design. The essential framework has been provided in a most thoughtful manner. The rest is up to the designer."
