Synopsis

WORDS IN ACTION is an inventive resource that was developed over decades, one word at a time, by architect and professor Michael Pause. Its 366 graphic images add to the inventory first published in Ivan Chermayeff and Tom Geismar's 1962 booklet Watching Words Move, a classic of typography that changed how designers think about the power of words. Whether you are a graphic artist stuck on a visual problem, an author with a case of writers block, a teacher looking for a fresh take on helping your students learn, or anyone whose creativity needs a jump start -- this book is for you. Anytime youre stuck, just flip through this inventory of inspired ideas and fun surprises. You will never look at a word the same way again!
