Picturing Texts FROM THE PUBLISHER
Picturing Texts redefines writing to include conscious attention to images and design. With more than 40 readings and 200 images, it shows writers how to choose fonts, compose photos and other visuals, work with color, and more. Now that most writing is done on computers, all writers can add visuals to their texts, and design what they write. Picturing Texts teaches us how.
