Call for Entries - Design Elements: A Graphic Style Manual
Design Elements: A Graphic Style Manual will be a reference tool for working designers, as well as students, that will provide information and guidance for design projects in much the same way that books such as The Chicago Manual of Style and Strunk & White’s Elements of Styled for writers and editors, or that Elements of Typographic Style (Robert Bringhurst) or Graphic Design Manual (Armin Hoffmann) do for graphic designers.
