"Applied Design for Printers" by Harry Lawrence Gage is a technical handbook that was published in the early 20th century, specifically in 1920. This publication belongs to a series aimed at apprentices in the printing trade, focusing on the principles of design and arrangement that have historically influenced printing. The likely topic of the book revolves around the fundamental aspects of design that enhance both functionality and aesthetics in printed materials. The book serves as a guide for both novice and experienced printers, exploring essential concepts such as harmony, balance, proportion, and rhythm in design. Gage discusses how these principles can be applied to various elements of printed pages, including type, layout, and ornamentation. Additionally, he highlights historical design periods and their impact on contemporary printing practices. Through practical examples and clear explanations, Gage encourages printers to combine beauty and utility, ultimately fostering an appreciation for design in the printing craft.
