Excerpt from Making Type Work

Back in the days when I first got the notion that I would like to learn how to make type do what I wanted, I used to make no end of dummy layouts. From magazines, newspapers, books and what not, I clipped all sorts of type pages, illustrations, orna ments and borders. Then I played with them in much the same way that the child in the kindergarten plays with its pieces of colored paper.

I was curious to see what would happen when I used this sort of picture, lettering, border or ornament with that sort of type.
