  • Typographic Specimen Poster
    Typographic Specimen Poster Type specimen posters were historically released by foundries and printers as a means of introducing new typefaces to designers. The design aesthetic of the posters was mostly utilitarian (simple and functional) with the goal of displaying a typeface in different sizes for the designer to visualize how the typeface could be used. As technology progressed from the linotype to the digital press, the emphasis on posters as the primary means of showing off a new typeface diminished, however the type specimen poster grew into their own form of expressive design. While modern type specimen posters are not as common, they are often far more expressive than their historical counterparts. Akzidenz Grotesk, design by Gunter Gerhard Lange in 1898 Homework: Put a Typeface to a Name This is a project that focuses on research and utilizing your knowledge of typography and layout skills learned over the past semester. Using InDesign, the objective of your type poster is to highlight the different qualities or characteristics of your chosen typeface, introduce the typographer, as well as generate a design that compliments the aesthetics of the prominent design movement of the time. Part 1) Research and Sketchbook Exercise: Research online and find at least 5 examples of type specimen sheets that inspire you, even if their design is different from the approach you will be taking. From your assigned century, choose a typographer and typeface they designed. Research the prominent design movement associated with your typographerʼs region and time period (Example: Typographer: Eric Gill, Typeface: Gill Sans, Time Period: 1920s England, Prominent Design Movement: Art Deco).

  • Bitstream Fonts in May 2005 at Totaling 350 Font Families with a Total of 1357 Font Styles
    Bitstream Fonts in May 2005 at http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/bitstream totaling 350 font families with a total of 1357 font styles The former Bitstream typeface libraries consisted mainly of forgeries of Linotype fonts and of ITC fonts. See the list below on the pages 24–29 about the old Bitstream Typeface Library of 1992. The 2005 Bitstream typeface library contains the same forgeries of Linotype fonts as formerly and also the same ITC fonts, but it also includes a lot of new mediocre „rubbish fonts“ (e.g. „Alphabet Soup“, „Arkeo“, „Big Limbo“), but also a few new quality fonts (e.g. „Drescher Grotesk“, „Prima Serif“ etc.). On the other hand, a few old fonts (e.g. „Caxton“) were removed. See the list below on pages 1–23. The typeface collection of CorelDraw comprises almost the entire former old Bitstream typeface library (see the list below on pages 24–29) with the following exceptions: 1. A few (ca. 3) forgeries of Linotype fonts are missing in the CorelDraw font collections, e.g. the fonts „Baskerville No. 2“ (= Linotype Baskerville No. 2), „Italian Garamond“ (= Linotype Garamond Simoncini), and „Revival 555“ (= Linotype Horley Old Style). 2. A lot (ca. 11) of ITC fonts are not contained in the CorelDraw font collections, e.g. „ITC Berkeley Oldstyle“, „ITC Century“, „ITC Clearface“, „ITC Isbell“, „ITC Italia“, „ITC Modern No. 216“, „ITC Ronda“, „ITC Serif Gothic“, „ITC Tom’s Roman“, „ITC Zapf Book“, and „ITC Zapf International“.

  • CSS Font Stacks by Classification
    CSS font stacks by classification Written by Frode Helland When Johann Gutenberg printed his famous Bible more than 600 years ago, the only typeface available was his own. Since the invention of moveable lead type, throughout most of the 20th century graphic designers and printers have been limited to one – or perhaps only a handful of typefaces – due to costs and availability. Since the birth of desktop publishing and the introduction of the worlds firstWYSIWYG layout program, MacPublisher (1985), the number of typefaces available – literary at our fingertips – has grown exponen- tially. Still, well into the 21st century, web designers find them selves limited to only a handful. Web browsers depend on the users own font files to display text, and since most people don’t have any reason to purchase a typeface, we’re stuck with a selected few. This issue force web designers to rethink their approach: letting go of control, letting the end user resize, restyle, and as the dynamic web evolves, rewrite and perhaps also one day rearrange text and data. As a graphic designer usually working with static printed items, CSS font stacks is very unfamiliar: A list of typefaces were one take over were the previous failed, in- stead of that single specified Stempel Garamond 9/12 pt. that reads so well on matte stock. Am I fighting the evolution? I don’t think so. Some design principles are universal, independent of me- dium. I believe good typography is one of them. The technology that will let us use typefaces online the same way we use them in print is on it’s way, although moving at slow speed.

  • Discourse, Materiality and Power: Dietary Supplements and Their Users Susan Roberton Bidwell a Thesis Submitted for the Degree
    Discourse, Materiality and Power: Dietary Supplements and their Users Susan Roberton Bidwell A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of Otago, Dunedin March 2020 Abstract Throughout human existence people have used herbs and other medicinal substances to protect themselves against illness and treat their ailments. Gathering wild herbs has, however, been replaced today by the many products on the shelves of health stores and pharmacies in developed countries with health systems similar to New Zealand. Previous studies of supplements and their use have largely focused on how many people use them, or subsumed supplement use within wider studies of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). Supplement use, however, has characteristics that make it different from CAM therapies more broadly. Yet there have been only a few investigations where supplement users have been asked directly about their practices, and those that have been done have tended to be under- theorised and so lack depth. This study used a constructionist approach, within which supplements and their users were examined from both humanist and post-humanist perspectives. I used semi-structured interviews to generate data with 36 participants who were regular users of supplements. The interviews were supplemented by observations of the displays of products that participants brought to my attention in the home and retail settings where the interviews took place. A critical theoretical analysis was undertaken, framed by Deleuze and Guattari’s concept of the rhizomatic assemblage of multiple, interconnected actants which are always in a process of change. Within this wider framework, aspects of the data were examined using other theoretical concepts including deconstruction, the agency of matter, and Foucault’s ideas of power and caring for the self.
