Chapel Hill, NC -- Full front vs profile; balance and symmetry vs motion
and tension; which is more compelling? The Harvard Graphics Design
Companion--Windows Edition, just published by Ventana Press, demonstrates
the difference between traditional, "white bread" Harvard Graphics
materials and professional-quality graphics with style, punch and pizazz.

"Harvard Graphics' new Windows edition offers unprecedented ease and
flexibility. But its great features demand new knowledge and
understanding," point out authors Margaret Rabb and Chris Potter. "Design
skills are essential to achieve real communication with an audience."
Harvard Graphics Design Companion--Windows Edition shows how to shatter
the built-in limitations of Harvard Graphics and teaches users of all
levels the power of dynamic design.

In a step-by-step, fun-to-read format that features real world
applications, the authors not only prove the capacity of Harvard Graphics'
sophisticated automatic graphic features, but stress good design and easy
ways to make great presentations.

The book's narrative style quickly and painlessly guides readers through
procedures for designing and creating tables, two- and three-dimensional
charts and graphs, and scatter plots. Importing data, HyperShow, and video
projector presentations receive detailed treatment, and a "makeovers"
section illustrates before-and-after design examples. The authors provide
a detailed checklist for getting the message across, from discussing the
merits of slide shows and HyperShows to recommending what type of
microphone to wear.

Dozens of sharp, original color and black-and-white illustrations accompany
the tips in the text, which includes a glossary and index for quick
reference. With the reader cast in the role of "team captain," Potter and
Rabb have created a framework in which beginners and advanced Harvard
Graphic users can leave audiences everywhere saying, "How did you do that?
It looked great!"

Harvard Graphics Design Companion--Windows Edition is softcover, 7 3/8" X 9
1/4", 266 pages. ISBN: 0-940087-94-4. Suggested retail price: $23.95.
