She studied architecture, photography and computer “Thechallengewasthatbecausetheearly programming before earning a degree in Graphic Zuzana’s father was a biomathematician who held a Communications at the University of California computersweresolimitedinwhatthey position at the University of California, San Francisco.

When she first started attending the university her goal was to earn a degree in architecture, but she then changed to a visual studies major because she believed becoming an architect was in her eyes, too similar to AaWEMABDF going to business school. While at Berkeley, Zuzana took a calligraphy class, AaWEMABDF which happened to be her least favorite as she was required to write with her right hand, despite being left handed. This experience later influenced her when she started working on type design, which was more AaWEMABDF computer-based.

Existing in the context of the 2008 financial and subsequent political crisis, both this thesis and my work are situated in an expanded field of graphic design. This research examines the emergence of the terms critical design and critical practice, and aims to develop methods that use criticism during the design process from a practitioner’s perspective. Central aims of this research are to address a gap in design discourse in relation to this terminology and impact designers operating under the banner of such terms, as well as challenging practitioners to develop a more critical design practice. The central argument of this thesis is that in order to develop a critical practice, a designer must approach design as criticism.

While I went through the issues of Emigre in our library I stumbled over some ama- zing articles from different authors concerning various subjects of life per se as well as discussi- ons about graphic design. Finally, I came to issue #69, a summary of the whole Emigre story. I found myself confronted with testifies from Rudy VanderLans concerning the attitude, a graphic designer should have, and what it needs to be a designer, such as enthusi- asm and entrepreneurialism but also a little bit of luck.

  • Use One Typeface
    01 Flush Left When in doubt, set your type flush left rag right. Why? In western culture, people read from top to bottom, left to right. By justifying type left, the eye is able to find the edge and read copy much more easily. Avoid indenting the first line of a paragraph for this reason. Everything I learned in design school in 10 simple rules to help you start designing like a rock star. @theChrisDo www.TheFutur.com 02 Use One Typeface Using two typefaces successfully within a layout requires an understanding of the chosen faces in order to be confident that they are complementary. In general, avoid using two typefaces of the same classification. For example, do not use two sans serif, serif, slab serif or script faces together. The reason—contrast. Stay with one typeface until you have achieved mastery. Helvetica Neue Everything I learned in design school in 10 simple rules to help you start designing like a rock star. @theChrisDo www.TheFutur.com 03 Skip A Weight Go from light to bold, or from medium to extra bold when changing font weights. The key to great design is contrast. Slight changes in weight change make it harder for the audience to notice the difference. Try mixing bold for the headline and light for the body copy for greater contrast.

  • A Brief History of Typefaces the Invention of Printing Movable Type Was Invented by Johannes Gutenberg in Fifteenth-Century Germany
    A brief history of typefaces The invention of printing Movable type was invented by Johannes Gutenberg in fifteenth-century Germany. His typography took cues from the dark, dense handwriting of the period, called “blackletter.” The traditional storage of fonts in two cases, one for majuscules and one for minuscules, yielded the terms “uppercase” and “lowercase” still used today. Working in Venice in the late fifteenth century, Nicolas Jenson created letters that combined gothic calligraphic traditions with the new Italian taste for humanist handwriting, which were based on classical models. )ADMIT)HAVEHADALITTLEWORKDONE 2PCFSU4MJNCBDITUZMFE!DOBE+FOTPO BGUFS/JDPMBT+FOTPOTSPNBOUZQFT ANDTHEITALICSOF,UDOVICODEGLI!RRIGHI DSFBUFEJOmGUFFOUIDFOUVSZ*UBMZ )DONTLOOKADAYOVERFIVEHUNDRED DO) )ADMIT)HAVEHADALITTLEWORKDONE 2PCFSU4MJNCBDITUZMFE!DOBE+FOTPO BGUFS/JDPMBT+FOTPOTSPNBOUZQFT ANDTHEITALICSOF,UDOVICODEGLI!RRIGHI DSFBUFEJOmGUFFOUIDFOUVSZ*UBMZ )DONTLOOKADAYOVERFIVEHUNDRED DO) The Venetian publisher Aldus Manutius distributed inexpensive, small-format books in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries to a broad, international public.
