"On the Language of Composition" is a collection of essays by renowned graphic designer, type designer, and artist Yuri Gordon. Decades of design practice have led him to the conclusion that virtually all areas of human activity are governed by uniform compositional laws. This theory allows for such unusual terms as the interface of the Sistine Chapel, the power points of a movie poster, and the depth of font elaboration. However, the author is not writing a textbook, and therefore is not overly concerned with the strictness of definitions. In his own words, he works with descriptions and metaphors. His purview includes the head of Nefertiti, a painting by Velázquez, the golden ratio, text alignment, and a figure on a poster. Using numerous examples, he demonstrates how composition "works." The conclusions will inevitably seem subjective, and many will be unexpected or controversial. And indeed, they were debated when the book existed as a series of articles on the author's blog. The collection inherited the most important comments from early readers from the blog.
