FROM THE OUTSIDE IN: DESIGNING BETTER BOOKS: This lecture by Reg Beatty introduces the questions any would-be book designer must ask and eventually answer – about format, layout, and type choice. Through an examination of actual books and a review of the current literature on the subject participants will understand good book design.

His work has been exhibited in Italy, France, Japan, Korea, Mexico, the US, and across Canada. He trained with Don Taylor and Betsy Eldridge in Toronto and Louise Genest in Montreal and has a degree in Fine Arts from York University.
