GOOD COOKS USE FRESH INGREDIENTS. GOOD DESIGNERS USE FRESH TYPEFACES. STALE Many typefaces that are preinstalled on computer Tight deadlines, low budgets, and and other operating systems or bundled with popular restrictions can make using stale fonts necessary. In FONTS software have become so common that they may those cases, remember that overused display faces are detract from a design. riskier than overused text faces. Even commercial typefaces like CRACKHOUSE have lost The following is a list of commonly overused their edge, and others like Comic Sans and Papyrus typefaces to avoid. Using any of these typefaces in a have become industry jokes. Word+Image project suggests that type research was overlooked! To help a design stand out, use less-exposed typefaces. Instead of Times New Roman, try a Garamond or If a typeface is not on the list but you recognize it by a Bembo. Instead of Arial use Helvetica, (but try name or form, there is a chance it is stale. Frutiger or Univers or Proxima before Helvetica!)

On a typical Mac font dropdown menu, these typefaces begin after Zapf Dingbats and Zapfino and begin with the Japanese Hiragino family. Most of these fonts also include the western alphabet, but avoid using these typfaces unless the project requires a foreign character set. Note the thin line after Zapfino dividing other system and user fonts from the multilingual selection.

Design One Project Three Introduced October 21. Due November 11
Design One Project Three Introduced October 21. Due November 11. Typeface Broadside/Poster Broadsides have been an aspect of typography and printing since the earliest types. Printers and Typographers would print a catalogue of their available fonts on one large sheet of paper. The introduction of a new typeface would also warrant the issue of a broadside. Printers and Typographers continue to publish broadsides, posters and periodicals to advertise available faces. The Adobe website that you use for research is a good example of this purpose. Advertising often interprets the type creatively and uses the typeface in various contexts to demonstrate its usefulness. Type designs reflect their time period and the interests and experiences of the type designer. Type may be planned to have a specific “look” and “feel” by the designer or subjective meaning may be attributed to the typeface because of the manner in which it reflects its time, the way it is used, or the evolving fashion of design. For this third project, you will create two posters about a specific typeface. One poster will deal with the typeface alone, cataloguing the face and providing information about the type designer. The second poster will present a visual analogy of the typeface, that combines both type and image, to broaden the viewer’s knowledge of the type. Process 1. Research the history and visual characteristics of a chosen typeface. Choose a typeface from the list provided. -Write a minimum150 word description of the typeface that focuses on two themes: A. The historical background of the typeface and a very brief biography of the typeface designer.

Pietro Bembo and Standards for Oral and Written Discourse: the Forensic, Dialectical, and Vernacular Influences on Renaissance Thought
DOCUMENT RESUME ED 254 894 CS 504 879 AUTHOR Wiethoff, William E. TITLE Pietro Bembo and Standards for Oral and Written Discourse: The Forensic, Dialectical, and Vernacular Influences on Renaissance Thought. PUB DATE Apr 85 NOTE 29p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Central States Speech Association (Indianapolis, IN, April 4-6, 1985). PUB TYPE Speeches/Conference Papers (150) Information Analyses (070) EDRS PRICE MF01 Plus Postage. PC Not Available from EDRS. DESCRIPTORS Communication Skills; *Discourse Analysis; *Renaissance Literature; *Rhetoric; *Rhetorical Criticism; Speech Communication; *Standards; Theories; Writing (Composition) IDENTIFIERS *Bembo (Pietro); *Speaking Writing Relationship ABSTRACT Traditional assumptions about oral and written discourse persist among various philosophers ,and critics., Careful examination of the context for traditional assumptions, however, suggests that current scholarship should pursue altered lines of inquiry. Peculiar influences on Renaissance standards of purpose, style, and theme illustrate the nature of the problem, especially the works of Pietro Bembo, a Renaissance humanist chancellor and religious administrator. First, his forensic priorities in the principles and practice of rhetoric focused critical attention on a limited setting and purpose of discourse. Second, although written communications were customarily designed for oral proclamation, Renaissance developments in dialectic stressed the written word and promoted practical training in communicative skills outside rhetorical

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“.

Suggested Fonts List
Suggested Fonts List This is a list of some fonts our designers have available to use when designing your book. This is only a sample of some of the most popular fonts; they have thousands of others to choose from as well. For your convenience, we have marked each font as being appropriate for body text or display text. Body Text fonts are meant for the main body text of your book—paragraphs, lists, etc. These fonts are designed to be easier on the eyes for smoother reading. Display Text fonts are meant for chapter titles, subtitles, etc. They are often “fancier” fonts, such as script or handwriting. We advise against using these as main body text, as they are intended for short strings of text and can become difficult to read in long paragraphs.

ITC Franklin Gothic Std Demi Italic
Laura Bae Baske Baskervilleis a serif typeface designed in the 1750s by John Baskerville in Birming- ham, England, and cut into metal by punchcutter John Handy. Baskerville 1495 is classified as a transitional typeface, intended as a refinement of what are Garamond now called old-style typefaces of the period. Compared to earlier designs pop- ular in Britain, Baskerville increased the contrast between thick and thin Bb Bb strokes, making the serifs sharper and more tapered, and shifted the axis of rounded letters to a more vertical po- sition. The curved strokes are more circular in shape, and the characters Bb became more regular.
