Typography in Advertising Doctoral Thesis Typography in Advertising Typografie v reklamě Author: Aleksandar Donev, MSc Degree programme: Visual Arts (P8206) Degree course: Multimedia and Design (8206V102) Supervisor: Doc. PhDr. Zdeno Kolesár, Ph.D. Zlín, December 2015 © Aleksandar Donev Published by Tomas Bata University in Zlín in the Edition Doctoral Thesis. The publication was issued in the year 2015 Key words in English: Typography, Advertising, Visual Communication, Design, Typefaces, Fonts Key words in Czech: Typografie, Reklama, Vizuální Komunikace, Design, Písma, Fonty Full text of the Doctoral Thesis is available in the Library of TBU in Zlín ISBN 978-80-……… ABSTRACT This thesis is set to investigate the use of type and typography in advertising, the role of typography in rendering the advertising message and the effects it has on the same. Typography and advertising both have been researched significantly all over the world but mainly as a two separate disciplines without showing the importance of their connection. The aim of my thesis is to fill that gap and show the significance of typography in advertising and their relationship in the communication process. The approach undertaken in this thesis is mainly theoretical, including statistics, a survey, a case study and an analysis of literature from various sources in the field of the research. I have analysed the factors that make typography suitable and effective for advertising purposes. With this research I am able to confirm that the use of typography and type for advertising purposes is slightly different than its use for other purposes. I am hoping that my work will make designers and advertisers more aware of the importance of typography in the creation of advertisements and that they will make better use of it. Tato práce zkoumá užívání písma a typografie v oblasti reklamy a jejich roli při vytváření reklamního sdělení. Témata typografie i reklamy jsou po celém světě sice dobře probádaná, avšak jako dva samostatné obory bez důrazu na jejich vzájemné propojení. Cílem této práce je tuto mezeru zaplnit a prozkoumat význam typografie v reklamě a jejich vzájemný vztah v komunikačním procesu. Můj přístup při zpracování tohoto tématu je zejména teoretický a opírá se o statistiky, ankety, případové studie a analýzu mnoha zdrojů tematické literatury. Součástí práce je taktéž analýza faktorů, díky kterýmž se typografie stává vhodnou právě pro reklamní účely, a na základě skutečností vzešlých z tohoto výzkumu lze vyvodit, že využití typografie a písma pro reklamní účely se liší od jejího využití v jiných oborech. Pevně věřím, že má práce pomůže praktikujícím designerům a lidem z reklamního průmyslu poodhalit důležitost typografie v celém tvůrčím procesu a povede k lepším výsledkům při jejím užívání. 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank my supervisor Dr. Zdeno Kolesár from the Department of Theoretical Studies at the Faculty of Multimedia Communications for all his support, guidance, feedback and counselling and for his patience with me during my PhD studies and the process of completing my thesis.

Although I have been very interested in lettering and typography I never had the chance to study the field properly or receive a professional training and therefore my knowledge in the field was limited. Researching in the field of typography has been a big challenge for me. In the process of writing this dissertation I have been investigating the topic by analysing, synthesising and interpreting information and data about the use of typography for advertising purposes. This involved the study of information and data connected with the use of type in advertising collected from books, papers, articles, online databases and websites. In order to be able to point out the research perspectives and methods used for my research I would like to illustrate the relationship between elements of the research process as suggested by Crotty (1998), adapted by David Grey in his book “Doing Research in the Real World”1. Relationship between epistemology,

    An Introduction To The AVENIR Family By Stacey Chen O V E R V I E W l Avenir was designed by Adrian Frutiger. l The typeface was first released in 1988 with three weights, before being expanded to six weights. l In 2004, together with Akira Kobayashi, Frutiger reworked the Avenir family. l Avenir has now become a common font in web, print, and graphic design, etc. l Frutiger was born in Unterseen, Switzerland 1928. l At age 16, Frutiger was apprenticed as a compositor to a printer, while taking classes in woodcuts and drawing. l With his second wife, Frutiger had two daughters, who both experienced mental health problems and committed suicide as adolescents. l Frutiger spent most of his professional career working in Paris and living in France, returning to Switzerland later in life. A D R I A N F R U T I G E R l Charles Peignot of Deberny Et Peignot recruited Frutiger based on the quality of the wood- engraved illustrations of his essay. l Impressed by the success of Futura typeface, Peignot encouraged a new, geometric sans-serif type in competition. l Frutiger disliked the regimentation of Futura, and persuaded Peignot that the new sans-serif be based on the realist model. l In 1988, Frutiger completed the family Avenir. Frutiger intended the font to be a more human version of geometric sans-serif types popular in the 1930s, such as Erbar and Futura.

News Gothic is similar in proportion and structure to Franklin Gothic also designed by Benton. News Gothic, like other Benton sans serif typefaces, follows the grotesque model. Shapes which distinguish it from the neo-grotesque are the two-story lowercase a and the two-story lowercase g. Also distinctive are the blunt terminus at the apex of the lowercase t, and the location of the tail of the uppercase Q completely outside the bowl.

  • The Example of the Algerian War
    L2 Journal, Volume 4 (2012), pp. 83-101 Teaching Difficult Topics: The Example of the Algerian War ELIZABETH KNUTSON United States Naval Academy E-mail: [email protected] While history as critical discourse differs importantly from the more subjective narratives of collective memory, even historians vary in their accounts and analyses of past events. This article argues for the need to include a spectrum of voices and text types when teaching history in the context of foreign language study, taking the example of “official stories,” collective memories, and historical accounts of the Algerian War of 1954-62. In addition to presenting varied views and text genres, the argument is made for the importance of teaching the controversies that arise around difficult topics, even many years after the fact. Teaching different sides of a difficult story and its unresolved conflicts is a form of realism that respects students’ intelligence and fosters their self-awareness as cultural subjects. Examples of a multiple perspectives approach are drawn from two textbooks published in France, with additional suggestions for classroom materials and activities at various instructional levels. _______________ INTRODUCTION In the words of Fréderic Abécassis, co-author of Pour une histoire franco-algérienne, “l’histoire est polyphonique” [history is polyphonic] (cited by Nuyten 2010, p. 57). While history as critical, reflective discourse differs importantly from the more subjective narratives of collective memory, which reflect the perspective of a particular group (Wertsch, p. 127), even historians themselves vary in their accounts and analyses of past events. This paper argues for the need to include a spectrum of voices and text types when teaching difficult historical topics in the context of foreign language study.
