  • Visual Research Universal Communication Communication of Selling the Narrow Column Square Span Text in Color Change of Impact New Slaves
    VISUAL RESEARCH UNIVERSAL COMMUNICATION COMMUNICATION OF SELLING THE NARROW COLUMN SQUARE SPAN TEXT IN COLOR CHANGE OF IMPACT NEW SLAVES ON TYPOGRAPHY by Herbert Bayer Typography is a service art, not a fine art, however pure and elemental the discipline may be. The graphic designer today seems to feel that the typographic means at his disposal have been exhausted. Accelerated by the speed of our time, a wish for new excitement is in the air. “New styles” are hopefully expected to appear. Nothing is more constructive than to look the facts in the face. What are they? The fact that nothing new has developed in recent decades? The boredom of the dead end without signs for a renewal? Or is it the realization that a forced change in search of a “new style” can only bring superficial gain? It seems appropriate at this point to recall the essence of statements made by progressive typographers of the 1920s: Previously used largely as a medium for making language visible, typographic material was discovered to have distinctive optical properties of its own, pointing toward specifically typographic expression. Typographers envisioned possibilities of deeper visual experiences from a new exploitation of the typographic material itself. Typography was for the first time seen not as an isolated discipline and technique, but in context with the ever-widening visual experiences that the picture symbol, photo, film, and television brought. They called for clarity, conciseness, precision; for more articulation, contrast, tension in the color and black and white values of the typographic page. They recognized that in all human endeavors a technology had adjusted to man’s demands; while no marked change or improvement had taken place in man’s most profound invention, printing-writing, since Gutenberg.

  • Smooth Writing with In-Line Formatting Louise S
    NESUG 2007 Posters Smooth Writing with In-Line Formatting Louise S. Hadden, Abt Associates Inc., Cambridge, MA ABSTRACT PROC TEMPLATE and ODS provide SAS® programmers with the tools to create customized reports and tables that can be used multiple times, for multiple projects. For ad hoc reporting or the exploratory or design phase of creating custom reports and tables, SAS® provides us with an easy option: in-line formatting. There will be a greater range of in-line formatting available in SAS 9.2, but the technique is still useful today in SAS versions 8.2 and 9.1, in a variety of procedures and output destinations. Several examples of in-line formatting will be presented, including formatting titles, footnotes and specific cells, bolding specified lines, shading specified lines, and publishing with a custom font. INTRODUCTION In-line formatting within procedural output is generally limited to three procedures: PROC PRINT, PROC REPORT and PROC TABULATE. The exception to this rule is in-line formatting with the use of ODS ESCAPECHAR, which will be briefly discussed in this paper. Even without the use of ODSESCAPECHAR, the number of options with in- line formatting is still exciting and almost overwhelming. As I was preparing to write this paper, I found that I kept thinking of more ways to customize output than would be possible to explore at any given time. The scope of the paper therefore will be limited to a few examples outputting to two destination “families”, ODS PRINTER (RTF and PDF) and ODS HTML (HTML4). The examples presented are produced using SAS 9.1.3 (SP4) on a Microsoft XP operating system.

  • Alien Heads Found in Georgia
    Georgia Alien heads found in Georgia Georgia is a serif typeface designed in 1993 by Matthew Carter and hinted by Tom Rickner for the Microsoft Corporation. The font is inspired by Scotch Roman designs of the 19th century and was based on designs for a print typeface in the same style Carter was working on when contacted by Microsoft. Georgia were released by Microsoft in 1996 as part of the Core Fonts for the Web collection. The typeface's name referred to a tabloid headline claiming“Alien heads found in Georgia.” As a transitional serif design, Georgia shows a number of traditional features of rational serif typefaces from around the early 19th century, such as alternating thick and thin strokes, ball terminals, a vertical axis and an italic taking inspiration from calligraphy. It features a large x-height (tall lower-case letters) and its thin strokes are thicker than would be common on a typeface designed for display use or the higher resolution of print. Besides, Georgia's bold is also unusually bold and bolder than most bolds.

The purpose of this benchmark is to characterize the performance of the OCR engines with emphasis on the correlation of errors between each engine. The benchmarks are performed for the evaluation of the effect of a multi-OCR system employing a voting scheme to increase overall recognition accuracy. This is desirable since currently OCR systems are still unable to recognize characters with 100% accuracy.

    VIS 215, Graphic Design Princeton University 185 Nassau Room 303 Tue 1:30 – 4:20 pm, 7:30 – 9:40 pm David Reinfurt / [email protected] www.t-y-p-o-g-r-a-p-h-y.org T-y-p-o-g-r-a-p-h-y This class will be organized as either (take your pick) a practical seminar or, a theoretical workshop. It will not be a simple exercise in learning the tools of graphic design but neither will it be a grand tour through its history and theory. Instead the class will be run as half-workshop and half-seminar, usually at the same time. Graphic design has an equally split personality — it’s both the technical execution of writing words (images, ideas) into the world by giving them form; and it is also a way of understanding the world through the forms of its writing. Designer and writer Paul Elliman describes the two-way street concisely: “Writing gives the impression of things. Conversely, things can give the impression of writing.” I’d suggest that this reading-and-writing-at-the-same-time, or typography, is the root-level skill of graphic design. So in this introductory class, we will focus on typography by both reading about and making it. The word “Typography” has split roots as well. Evolved from the Greek, “typos” means “figure” and “grapho” means “I write.” This two-sided practice (reading- writing) I’ve just described is even written directly into the word “typography” itself. If there is one fundamental skill that every beginning graphic design student should master, it is this: to be able to set a text so that the form it is given works together with the substance of the text to produce a third meaning.

As with writing, every book has its own issues that you have to discover as you design and format it. These pages cannot answer every question, but they can show you how to assess the problems and understand the tools you have to get things right. “Typography is what language looks like,” Ellen Lupton. Homage to Hermann Zapf 3 4 Type and Typography Type styles and Letter Spacing: The parts of a glyph have names, the most important distinctions are between serif/sans serif, and roman/italic. Normal letter spacing is subtly adjusted to avoid typographical problems, such as widows and rivers; open, touching, or expanded are most often used in display matter.

  • 1 You Are About to Enter *A Graphic Design Exhibition.* Go Ahead Now
    You are about to enter *a graphic design exhibition.* go ahead now, walk into the gallery. it’s a darkened room, not small, and seems to be roughly a cube. On the walls surrounding you are three large-scale projections, each is cycling through what appear to be abstract graphics, scanned pages, short movies. what binds these various bits together? well, you check out where the projections are coming from, and you find three projectors standing on pedestals. on each is an identifying label. The first reads VIS 215, Graphic Design . after what appears to be a room number and building name (one eighty-five nassau street) is a meeting time. you surmise, clever visitor, that what’s on the projected loop must be the work of a particular class in this university. in fact it is. this first one is ‘introduction to graphic design’ and it shows a sequence of scans of letter-sized pieces of paper, the results of a collaborative exercise where twelve students work together in the typography studio to compose (with individual metal letters) a text titled, ‘the crystal goblet, or printing should be invisible.’ this is the first class assignment. the second is to set another text, this time ‘the new typography,’ using only a photocopier . now, you spin around ninety degrees and find a second VIS 216, Visual Form pedestal. its label says . you know the score by now, and you can safely assume this is another graphic design class. this is also an introduction, but instead of letters, students deal with graphic forms (logos, icons, signs, and so on).
