  • Paul Mijksenaar by : Roots April 21, 2020
    Paul Mijksenaar By : Roots April 21, 2020 Born in the last year of the war but one, Paul comes as a surprise to his parents, who already have three daughters. He grows up in a house on Watteaustraat, while his father works as head of press and information for Amsterdam’s municipal government, his expertise and skills so valued that a meeting room at the city hall is named in his honour. Meanwhile Paul saws open his toy cars, removes or combines various parts and paints ‘Mijks 1’ or ‘Mijks 2’ on them. On the upper ledge of his folding bed, he builds an aircraft carrier out of paper and plastic with planes he equips with lights using slide contacts. Engineering fascinates him. Creative team behind ‘Freedom of the Press’, published by ‘Grafisch Nederland’, 1976, l. to r.: Paul Mijksenaar, Piet Schreuders and Nico Scheepmaker. In 1956 he enrols at the Montessori Lyceum in Amsterdam and spends most of his time drawing planes, cars and tow trucks for ‘Garage Mijks’. He has to repeat a year and continues his secondary schooling in 1959 at a three-year secondary school with a commercial training programme on the Roelof Hartplein. He is just as bored with this school. On Sundays his mother goes to church and his father takes him out in his official car, a blue Ford Zephyr with a ‘permit for exemption from visible official vehicle identification’, driving through the new garden suburbs, over bridges and along the expanding docklands. In these docklands, deserted on Sundays, his father teaches him to drive.

  • The Typographic Matchmaking 01 Introduction Building Cultural Bridges with Typeface Design
    1. Khatt Foundation Report The Typographic Matchmaking 01 Introduction Building cultural bridges with typeface design 1. Introduction 1.1. State of existing Arabic Fonts. Type design in the Arab world has been slow in comparison to other fast growing commercial developments within this interesting and geographically widespread area of the world. The state of Arabic fonts is lamentable. There is a shortage of high quality (and variety) of readily available Arabic fonts. The few that do exist do not have the essential matching Latin font. Most of these fonts do not work effectively in on-line, web, and new media applications. This has had a very negative effect on the development of the field of graphic design and new media adaptations in the Arab world where bilingual typography and communication are the norm. The field of graphic design is growing in the Middle East. In the past 10 years several art schools have opened their doors and have been graduating «Big Vesta» Arabic and Latin used for a prestigious exhibition in graphic designers. Yet the tools with which they need to create Abu Dhabi about the cultural district housing museums such the Louvre and the Guggenheim, on the Saadiyat Island. 2007 contemporary-looking design are not up to standard. The market is ripe for new design developments and professional advancement in the field of Arabic type design. Type design in the Arab world and Middle East has been slowly progressing and because the market is small the effects of the 1st Typographic Matchmaking project has been clearly visible. Even in their Beta version, the fonts have been used, won awards for excellence in type design and been commissioned by commercial institutions.

  • VISUAL STRATEGIES Marcel Broersma
    VISUAL STRATEGIES DUTCH NEWSPAPER DESIGN BETWEEN TEXT AND IMAGE 1900-2000 Marcel Broersma The relationship between text and image has given rise to much debate in recent decades.1 Academics even refer to ‘the pictorial turn’. Once it was accepted that language structures reality, they realized that this was also true of imagery. ‘It is the realization that spectatorship (the look, the gaze, the glance, the practices of observation, surveillance, and visual pleasure) may be as deep a problem as various forms of reading (decipherment, de- coding, interpretation, etc.) and that visual experience or “visual literacy” might not be fully explicable in the model of textuality’, wrote W.J.T. Mitchell in his Picture Theory. Whereas until a few decades ago pictures served mainly to illustrate written or spoken texts, so the argument runs, they have now developed their own codes and conventions.2 Some commentators, such as the American media historian Mitchell Stephens, believe that pictures will supplant text, creating a new, dominant discourse, a fast-moving video language. With its combination of sound, spoken text and fast-moving images, video is better able to evoke direct, instantaneous experience than the printed word. This, so it is said, makes it easier for us to fathom the ever more complex reality. Others, such as the sociologist Neil Postman, while agreeing that we are moving towards a vis- ual culture, envisage the opposite result, with the ‘fall of the word’ causing cultural and intellectual degeneration.3 Whereas imagery mainly makes a suggestive appeal to feelings and association, words appeal to reason and analysis.

  • Typeface Legibility: Towards Defining Familiarity
    Typeface Legibility: Towards defining familiarity Sofie Beier A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the Royal College of Art for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2009 The Royal College of Art [ 2 ] typeface legibility: towards defining familiarity © This text represents the submission for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the Royal College of Art. This copy has been supplied for the purpose of research for private study, on the understanding that it is copyright material, and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. sofie beier 2009, royal college of art [ 3 ] Abstract The aim of the project is to investigate the influence of fa- miliarity on reading. Three new fonts were created in order to examine the familiarity of fonts that readers could not have seen before. Each of the new fonts contains lowercase letters with fa- miliar and unfamiliar skeleton variations. The different skeleton variations were tested with distance threshold and time thresh- old methods in order to account for differences in visibility. This investigation helped create final typeface designs where the fa- miliar and unfamiliar skeleton variations have roughly similar and good performance. The typefaces were later applied as the test material in the familiarity investigation. Some typographers have proposed that familiarity means the amount of time that a reader has been exposed to a typeface design, while other typographers have proposed that familiarity is the commonalities in letterforms. These two hypotheses were tested by measuring the reading speed and preference of partici- pants, as they read fonts that had either common or uncommon letterforms, the fonts were then re-measured after an exposure period.

  • Copyrighted Material
    INTRODUCTION Type is all around us, in everything we read, from product packaging in the grocery store to television commercials, from greeting cards, books, and magazines to movie credits and storefront signs. Learning to read and write the alphabet is one of the fi rst things we are taught in school, and that process oft en begins before nursery school with television shows and videos intended for the hungry and curious minds of two- and three-year-olds. Type and printed matter not only communicate information to us but also infl u- ence decisions we make on a daily basis. Whether we realize it or not, type and the way it appears aff ects which CD or book cover catches our eyes, which detergent we think might make the whites whiter, and which movie seems like it might be the scariest or most romantic. Much of this process goes on unconsciously, which is why the art and craft of typography is so invisible to the average person. But its unseen nature by no means diminishes the importance and infl uence type has on the quality and substance of our daily lives. Type Rules! is intended for anyone interested in typography, be they a professional graphic designer, an instructor, or a novice computer user. Th ere is something here for everyone, whether you know a little or a lot about type. Th is book does not have to be read front to back; you may thumb through the chapters and stop wherever something sparks your interest, or you may read it chapter aft er chapter, cover to cover.
