  David Macaulay - Building the Book Cathedral  

Building the Book Cathedral

Amazon Price: $20.97
Hardcover - 112 pages (1999)

Synopsis:
Building the Book Cathedral includes the content of Cathedral in its entirety. Here Macaulay traces the evolution of his creative process in "building" that first book, from the initial concept to the finished drawings. He introduces the basic elements of structure and sequence and explains why one angle of a drawing may be better for conveying an idea than another. He describes how perspective, scale, and contrast can be used to connect a reader with concepts, and how placement of a picture on a page can make a difference in the way information is communicated.
