    VIS 215, Graphic Design Princeton University 185 Nassau Room 303 Tue 1:30 – 4:20 pm, 7:30 – 9:40 pm David Reinfurt / [email protected] www.t-y-p-o-g-r-a-p-h-y.org T-y-p-o-g-r-a-p-h-y This class will be organized as either (take your pick) a practical seminar or, a theoretical workshop. It will not be a simple exercise in learning the tools of graphic design but neither will it be a grand tour through its history and theory. Instead the class will be run as half-workshop and half-seminar, usually at the same time. Graphic design has an equally split personality — it’s both the technical execution of writing words (images, ideas) into the world by giving them form; and it is also a way of understanding the world through the forms of its writing. Designer and writer Paul Elliman describes the two-way street concisely: “Writing gives the impression of things. Conversely, things can give the impression of writing.” I’d suggest that this reading-and-writing-at-the-same-time, or typography, is the root-level skill of graphic design. So in this introductory class, we will focus on typography by both reading about and making it. The word “Typography” has split roots as well. Evolved from the Greek, “typos” means “figure” and “grapho” means “I write.” This two-sided practice (reading- writing) I’ve just described is even written directly into the word “typography” itself. If there is one fundamental skill that every beginning graphic design student should master, it is this: to be able to set a text so that the form it is given works together with the substance of the text to produce a third meaning.

Type & Typography Type is the lifeblood of books. While there is no reason that you can’t format your book without any knowledge of type, typography—the art, craft, and technique of composing and printing with type—lets you transform your manuscript into a professional looking book. As with writing, every book has its own issues that you have to discover as you design and format it. These pages cannot answer every question, but they can show you how to assess the problems and understand the tools you have to get things right. “Typography is what language looks like,” Ellen Lupton. Homage to Hermann Zapf 3 4 Type and Typography Type styles and Letter Spacing: The parts of a glyph have names, the most important distinctions are between serif/sans serif, and roman/italic. Normal letter spacing is subtly adjusted to avoid typographical problems, such as widows and rivers; open, touching, or expanded are most often used in display matter.

  • 1 You Are About to Enter *A Graphic Design Exhibition.* Go Ahead Now
    You are about to enter *a graphic design exhibition.* go ahead now, walk into the gallery. it’s a darkened room, not small, and seems to be roughly a cube. On the walls surrounding you are three large-scale projections, each is cycling through what appear to be abstract graphics, scanned pages, short movies. what binds these various bits together? well, you check out where the projections are coming from, and you find three projectors standing on pedestals. on each is an identifying label. The first reads VIS 215, Graphic Design . after what appears to be a room number and building name (one eighty-five nassau street) is a meeting time. you surmise, clever visitor, that what’s on the projected loop must be the work of a particular class in this university. in fact it is. this first one is ‘introduction to graphic design’ and it shows a sequence of scans of letter-sized pieces of paper, the results of a collaborative exercise where twelve students work together in the typography studio to compose (with individual metal letters) a text titled, ‘the crystal goblet, or printing should be invisible.’ this is the first class assignment. the second is to set another text, this time ‘the new typography,’ using only a photocopier . now, you spin around ninety degrees and find a second VIS 216, Visual Form pedestal. its label says . you know the score by now, and you can safely assume this is another graphic design class. this is also an introduction, but instead of letters, students deal with graphic forms (logos, icons, signs, and so on).

  • Digital Reading Practices and the Contemporary US Novel a Dissertat
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Reading the Machine: Digital Reading Practices and the Contemporary U.S. Novel A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in English by Chelsea Alexandra Kern 2021 © Copyright by Chelsea Alexandra Kern 2021 ii ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Reading the Machine: Digital Reading Practices and the Contemporary U.S. Novel by Chelsea Alexandra Kern Doctor of Philosophy in English University of California, Los Angeles, 2021 Professor Allison Carruth, Co-Chair Professor Daniel Scott Snelson, Co-Chair “Reading the Machine: Digital Reading Practices and the Contemporary U.S. Novel,” investigates how emerging information technologies—networked devices, software programs, and algorithmic protocols—redefine cultural forms of textual production and reception. Focusing on the longstanding literary form of the novel as a point of entry, “Reading the Machine” develops a new account of the social, material, and aesthetic processes that constitute reading in concert with smart machines and social networks. At stake is an examination of how reading in the digital age has evolved within the larger political and technological systems of digital society. The project thus attends to pressing issues ranging from democratic participation to the racialiZed and unequal structure of cyberculture itself. ii “Reading the Machine” demonstrates how contemporary fictions build pathways for creative, dynamic digital reading on the part of human and nonhuman readers, even as the economic and political infrastructures of digital technologies seek to limit that potential. The four body chapters of the dissertation juxtapose fictional narratives with case studies on hardware engineering, social networks, digital campaign analytics, and artificial intelligence.

  • DOCUMENTARY JOINS Moma FILM CATALOGUE
    The Museum of Modern Art Department of Film 11 West 53 Street, New York, N. Y. 1C: .9 Tel. 956-6100 Cable: Modernart No. 28 August, 1982 For immediate release HOT-TYPE'S LAST EDITION AT THE TIMES; DOCUMENTARY JOINS MoMA FILM CATALOGUE FAREWELL, ETAOIN SHRDLU, a1 29-minute documentary by David Loeb Weiss, records the night of July 2, 1978 in The New York Times' press­ room, as the last edition composed in hot-metal type is prepared and printed. A printer sits at a century-old Linotype machine at the start of the film and strikes the first 12 letters of the keyboard, "etaoin shrdlu" — the printer's phrase used to fill out a line or signal an error. The title FAREWELL, ETAOIN SHRDLU is a symbolic way of saying goodbye to both the machine and to a printing tradition. The prize-winning documentary has been selected for distribution by the Circulating Film Library of The Museum of Modern Art. William Sloan, Director of Circulating Film, notes that "the film combines the creative techniques of filmmaking and editing with a clear explanation of how a newspaper is really produced." That explanation goes beyond the last night of hot-type and into the computerized composing room of today; as the film's subtitle, "An Age-Old Printing Process Gives Way to Modern Technology" outlines, we see the same printers who demonstrate the old method making the adjustment to the new. Filmmaker David Loeb Weiss, himself a member of the New York Typo­ graphical Union and a former proofreader at the Times, worked with the paper's cooperation for a "live" and detailed portrait of the process.

  • Acrostic Dictionary of Wordplay Terms
    ACROSTIC DICTIONARY OF WORDPLAY TERMS ANIL, Perth, Australia A bunch of definitive reverse acrostics presented in February ('10-8) included seven wordplay terms, with especially fun ones for logology and logophile (see below). I thought a rather immod- erate list of wordplay terms similarly defined might be appreciated by logology fans. Read the definitions first. If they are not clear, then consult the examples, which are given as "answers" if needed. For freer definitions see Dave Morice's Dictionary of Word Play (Teachers & Writers Col- lab.: NY, 2001), Chris Cole's Wordplay (Sterling: NY, 1999) or spot WW references. * = repeats from 10-8; 5 = quoted there; RE = contributed by Ross Eckler. I invite others to send in improvements or additional terms. {XaXb} = choose one or read twice, once with each, making two acrostics; (XaIYb) = alternatives within a single acrostic: either one or both may be appropriate [Helvetica font] = examples and comments (not acrostics) Non-bold parts of headwords = also not acrosticised. May your dislike of calling a part the whole be outweighed by your relief at being spared unnecessary repetition or drivel. Even so, I've had to work to minimise expletives (irrelevant filler), preferring redundancy to use up excess letters. Still, many read like headlines and could stand a clarifying a, the, one/you, oJ is or and in places. Some definitions use part of the target term, but mostly I've avoided such 'cheating'. I've also stretched the language occasionally, commandeering marginal words to represent the two most important words in logology, word and letter.? Read these words as letter: alphabit (kid's cereal eponym), characteu; element, grapheme, rune, symbol, tjpe.
