  • Use Advanced Punctuation
    Elftmann Student Success Center Use Advanced Punctuation “ - • Using known marks “ • Punctuation rules ; > Advanced Punctuation Punctuation plays a vital role in writing, and using more advanced marks can increase the maturity of your writing significantly. Why can’t I use basic punctuation marks I already know? The most important reason why these marks are essential to know is that they are required for the proper citation of sources in most format styles. As a writer, you need to be able to give due credit to the original author, or your work will be considered plagiarized. Using these advanced marks not only stretches you as a learner, but allows you to have more flexibility as a writer. However, many of these marks are often left behind because they are options, and writers can choose to use more familiar marks instead. What you say is as important as how you say it, and using these marks will give you more tools to make your message clear. What are the rules for using advanced punctuation marks?

INTRODUCTION Collegiate athletics has become big business in America, generating billions of dollars each year. Division I-A' football and men's basketball are among the most popular sports in America, and they are the revenue generators in collegiate athletics. Central Broadcasting Systems (CBS) and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) are currently under an eleven-year, $6 billion contract for the television broadcast rights for the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament.2 Fox is paying $330 million for the right to broadcast the Fiesta, Sugar, and Orange Bowls from 2007-2010 and the right to broadcast the college football national championship games from 2007-2009. 3 With so much money spent on collegiate football and men's basketball, it appears that successful programs in these sports offer universities an opportunity to generate significant revenue.

  • Role Serif Display Pro
    Morisawa Inc. Role Serif Display Pro Role Serif is part of the first stand-alone Latin typeface family released by Morisawa. Other genres in the family include Slab, Sans and Soft. Role Serif has the clearest image of seriousness or faithfulness among other styles. Text has the lowest contrast and the sturdy serifs for high legibility. The contrast gets higher for Display and Banner to help the look become more elegant. The letterforms are optimised for the target usage of each optical range. The letterforms of Text are consistent but morphs into the more decorative design for Display and Banner. The Display is in between Text and Banner and looks more graceful than Text but not too prominent to affect the versatility. Ban- ner is the most elegant design. The characteristic is more emphasised especially for the heavier weights where the widths narrow down.

  • Style Guide for Graduate Students
    THE STYLE GUIDE FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS Presentation is vitally important. This is not because there is any virtue in following rules for their own sake, but because the rules make sense - an essay or dissertation that is well written and properly laid out will gain your readers' confidence and convey your message to them as efficiently as possible. Getting the presentation right is an essential part of the historian's craft. The rules in this guide should be followed in all class essays and assessed work, as well as in the dissertation or thesis. The standard authority on all matters of presentation and format is Judith Butcher, Copy-editing for Editors, Authors, Publishers, 3rd edn, (Cambridge, 1992), and the MHRA Style Guide (2002), of which there is a copy in the Graduate Programme Office. The MHRA Style Guide can also be accessed at http://www.mhra.org.uk/Publications/Books/StyleGuide/. A FORMAT a) The thesis should be typed (or printed), on A4 paper, on one side only. b) There should be a 4cm (1½-inch) margin at the left-hand side of the page, and an adequate margin on the other three edges. c) Spacing: The text of your essay should be double-spaced. The footnotes (or endnotes) should however be single-spaced. d) Indentation: Except for the very first paragraph under a new heading, the first line of every paragraph should be indented. You do not need to add extra spacing between paragraphs: the indentation alone tells the reader that you have begun a new paragraph. e) Pagination: Number each page of your essay.

Mix typefaces with purpose If you are designing with type for a branded environment, that context is different from designing type for a business card. However, there are basic guiding principles. Type is form and should be evaluated based on aesthetic criteria of shape, proportion, and balance. Type commu- nicates on a denotative and connotative level. Type has to be thoughtfully integrated with visuals. Type should be readable. Margins present text type and need to be respected. Transitions between letters, words, and paragraphs are critical—spacing can make or break communication. Typography is the design of letterforms and the arrangement of them in two-dimensional space (for print and screen-based media) and in space and time (for motion and interactive media). Type is used as display or as text.
