About the language of the composition. Gordon Yuri Moiseevich

“On the language of the composition” - a collection of essays of a well -known schedule, font designer and artist Yuri Gordon. Dozens of years of design practice led him to the idea that almost all areas of human activity are subject to unified compositional laws. Within the framework of this theory, such unusual terms as the interface of the Sistine Chapel, the power points of the film unit and the depth of the elaboration of the font.

, however, the author writes not a textbook, and therefore does not care about the severity of the definitions. In his own words, he acts with descriptions and metaphors. In his field of vision, Nefertiti’s head falls on, the picture of Velazquez, the golden section, the text turning off and the figure on the poster. On a set of example, he shows how the composition “works”. The conclusions will certainly seem subjective, and many are unexpected or controversial. And they really argued with them when the book existed in the form of a cycle of articles in the author’s blog. The inheritance from the blog, the collection got the most important comments of the first readers.
