syndicom is the leading publishing company for teaching materials used in the graphic arts industry. “Lehrmittel zur visuellen Gestaltung” (Graphic Design Resources) was written by an authors’ collective for specialist literature and speaks to everyone who wishes to find out how a good print product or a webpage emerges from the interplay of text and type, imagery and color.
