This wide-ranging and entertaining book explores blank space from incunabula to Google books. Blanks are a paradox—simultaneously nothing and something, gesturing to what was once there or might be there. They are also a creative opportunity for readers as well as writers: readers respond to what is not there and writers come to anticipate that response. Thus, blank space develops literary and ludic applications. Each chapter focuses on one typographical form of what is not there on the page: physical gaps (Chapter One), marks of incompletion such as &c (Chapter Two), and the asterisk as a stand-in for things that cannot be said (Chapter Three). By looking at the early-modern page as a visual unit as well as a verbal unit, this volume shows how the relationship between textual layout and textual content is as productive for writers as it is for readers. Mise-en-page influences readers in the same way that rhetoric influences readers. It is thus possible to speak of'the rhetoric of the page'.

Le graphisme est avant tout un travail de conceptualisation, s'inscrivant dans un processus de communication, créateur de signes, producteur de sens. Il génère des plus-values esthétiques, artistiques, culturelles, sociales et bien sûr économiques.Pour toutes ces raisons, il constitue une composante majeure de l'identité éditoriale, de la marque.Ce livre rappelle d'abord l'histoire du graphisme en montrant comment l'esthétique des couvertures et des mises en page est liée aux évolutions artistiques. En prenant appui sur de nombreuses réalisations et sur des témoignages d'éditeurs et de graphistes, il propose ensuite au lecteur non seulement les règles et connaissances incontournables en matière de typographie, de maquette et de couleur, mais surtout des clés d'analyse pour la conception graphique appliquée à différents domaines éditoriaux.La question de la relation entre éditeur et graphiste est aussi traitée en accordant une place toute particulière au brief, à la définition des éléments stratégiques, aux aspects contractuels et à l'établissement du devis.
