JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY VISUAL IDENTITY GUIDELINES IntroduCTION 2 1.2 Brand philosophy Research. World. Excellence. Community. Those are the words we heard most often when we spoke with faculty, staff, students, alumni, trustees—people from all corners of the university—to develop our logo system. That’s why the Johns Hopkins identity looks the way it does—with the book representing knowledge and discovery, the globe symbolizing our Research World Excellence Community worldwide reach, and the crest of Lord Baltimore indicating our connection to our community. JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY VISUAL IDENTITY GUIDELINES IntroduCTION 3 1.3 Using this document These guidelines are meant to facilitate best practices, to help individuals present their communications in a way that reflects positively on the university, and to provide answers to common questions. Johns Hopkins is a large, complex organization engaged in a variety of research and educational activities every day. We can’t address every “what if” in one document, but we welcome your questions.

Towards Chinese Calligraphy Qian Zhuzhong and Fang Desheng I. History of Chinese Calligraphy: A Brief Overview Chinese calligraphy, like script itself, began with hieroglyphs and, over time, has developed various styles and schools, constituting an important part of the national cultural heritage. Chinese scripts are generally divided into five categories: Seal script, Clerical (or Official) script, Regular script, Running script, and Cursive script. What follows is a brief introduction of the evolution of Chinese calligraphy. A. From Prehistory to Xia Dynasty (ca. 16 century B.C.) The art of calligraphy began with the creation of Chinese characters. Without modern technology in ancient times, “Sound couldn’t travel to another place and couldn’t remain, so writings came into being to act as the track of meaning and sound.”1 However, instead of characters, the first calligraphy works were picture-like symbols. These symbols first appeared on ceramic vessels and only showed ambiguous con- cepts without clear meanings.

She learned in China traditional Chinese arts - calligraphy, ink painting, poetry – before studying Western modern art in Germany. The subject of her artistic and scientific work was an attempt of a synthesis on between the old traditions of China and the ways and forms of thought and design of modern Western culture. In her artistic work she searched on one hand to develop the traditional ink Western Informel painting and calligraphy through modern Western expression, on the other Marguerite Müller-Yao hand to deepen the formal language of modern painting, graphics and object art by referring back to the ideas of Chinese calligraphic tradition and Painting the principles of Chinese ink painting. In her academic work she was dedicated to the investigation of the relations between the Western Informel Painting and Chinese Calligraphy. This 中國書法藝術對西洋繪畫的影響 work, which deals with the influence of the art of Chinese Calligraphy on the Western Informel painting is an attempt to contribute a little to the understanding of some of the essential aspects of two cultures and their relations: the Western European-American on one hand and the East-Asian, particularly the Chinese, on the other hand. The subject of this work concerns an aspect of intercultural relations between the East and the West, especially the artistic relations between Eastern Asia and Europe/America in Düsseldorf 2015 a certain direction, from the East to the West.

Through historical research and a study of primary sources such as line-cut facsimiles, I sought to answer the question, how did the triple impression and single impression methods of printing develop, and is one superior to the other? While Petrucci’s triple impression method produced cleaner and more connected staves, a significant number of problems resulted, including pitch accuracy and cost efficiency.

Chasing down its origins uncov- ers not only a surprising turnabout from blackletter law’s original meaning, but also prompts examination of a previously overlooked subject: the history of the law’s changing appearance on the page. This history ultimately provides a cautionary tale of how appearances have hindered access to the law.

    PETRUCCI B-04 BOORMAN 6-04-2005 11:15 Pagina 125 STANLEY BOORMAN PETRUCCI IN THE LIGHT OF RECENT RESEARCH It is in the nature of a paper with such a title as this that there can be no single over-arching theme – unless it be that the life and work of Petrucci continue to present surprises and raise problems for the modern interpreter. However, this paper will address a number of diverse issues, which will be subsumed under four different headings: his life before 1520; his contacts for the music he published; his life after 1520 – with perhaps the most interesting new evidence; and something of the implications of patterns of ownership of his editions.1 PETRUCCI’S LIFE BEFORE 1520 Apart from two earlier documents executed in Fossombrone,2 and his privilege application of 1498, Petrucci appears on the scene in 1501 with the immediate triumph of his Harmonice Musices Odhecaton A (RISM 1501).3 This book, with its startlingly brilliant title-initial, with the elegant impagination and individual notational characters, and with the then-unusual landscape format, must have presented an impressive face to browsers in bookshops of the time. Not surprisingly, it has led to the presumption that Petrucci had studied the craft of printing, perhaps in Venice, and presumably after he had studied music (as it was thought) at the court of Urbino. And yet there is no evidence for either. The only list known to me of the “family” of the Urbino Duke, Guidobaldo I, survives in an eighteenth-century copy.4 1 Much of what follows will be examined in greater detail in my forthcoming Ottaviano Petrucci: Catalogue Raisonné (New York: Oxford University Press).

Graphic Design Carnegie Mellon University May 1988 Submitted to the Program in Media Arts and Sciences School of Architecture and Planning in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Media Arts and Sciences On August 11, 1995 Abstract Text is no longer limited to a static presentation in electronic communication. Typographic form can change in size, color, and position according to a reader's interaction in real time. This thesis proposes temporal typography as an area of study which incorporates the dynamic visual treatment of written language. Presently, graphic design lacks ways to conceputalize and describe temporal typography in a systematic way. This thesis presents a characterizationscheme which provides a set of concepts and terminology which allows for the descrip- tion of typographic expressions that change dynamically over time.
