On one hand, I am incredibly happy to see a brilliant and foundational work affordably back in print. On the other, I am a bit disgusted by the quality of the edition. The original edition of the English translation is a beautifully designed volume. The reissued edition features a blindingly white coated paper, and a puzzling insistence by Esri on using comically oversized Times New Roman typeface. The illustrations, however, have been better reproduced (and in some cases enhanced) from the earlier version.

In order to choose the appropriate typeface, the user should be well-acquainted with visual or geometric features of typography, typographic rules and the historical development of typography. Additionally, every user is further assisted by a good quality and simple typeface classification. There are many different classifications of typefaces based on historical or visual criteria, as well as their combination. During the last thirty years, computers and digital technology have enabled brand new creative freedoms. As a result, there are thousands of fonts and dozens of applications for digitally creating typefaces. This paper suggests an innovative, simpler classification, which should correspond to the contemporary development of typography, the production of a vast number of new typefaces and the needs of today's users.

    Survey 2 quiz God and Gutenberg (0-1450 CE) 2 What were early books written on before paper making techniques spread from Asia? (ca. 100-400) Thousands of years ago the Ancient Egyptians used papyrus as a writing surface for their scrolls. The Egyptians, and other civilizations also used animal skins to write on. These scraped animal skins used for writing are known as A: Parchment What do we call the fine parchment made from lamb or calf-skin that was used for very expensive books? A: Vellum One of the great qualities of parchment was that it was more opaque than papyrus, so both sides could be used for writing. More (not part of the quiz, just recapping): This membrane, made most often of sheep, or goatskin, was more opaque than papyrus, allowing scribes to write on both sides. The skins were scraped, stretched and dried (similar to the skin on a first nations drum). High quality parchment, made from calfskin, was called vellum. Unlike papyrus, this more supple material was easily folded and bound. Gradually manuscripts transitioned from scrolls to codices (singular codex): a term used to describe any ancient manuscript text in book form. These were bound books as we know them today, with folded sheets, stitched and glued along the spine. It is said that the parchment trade developed from Pergamon (now in Turkey). The city certainly became a huge production centre. Legend has it that king Ptolemy of Egypt banned papyrus export to Pergamon, in fear that the library of king Eumenes II of Pergamon would surpass his library in Alexandria.

    More Info About Book Construction

    OVERVIEW OF BOOK SPREADS Why 32 pages? The “industry standard” for picture books is currently 32 pages. Why? It all comes down to the construction and printing of the book. 32 pages are generally the most economical when printing hardcover books. If you do see alternate sizes you’ll usually find them in increments of 8 or 16. (for examples 16, 24, 40 or 48 pages) I could go into all the details about why this is the standard, but if you’d like to learn more check out these links: more info about Book construction: http://editorialanonymous.blogspot.com/2008/10/basic-book-construction.html http://taralazar.com/2009/02/22/picture-book-construction-know-your-layout/ http://booksforkeeps.co.uk/issue/194/childrens-books/articles/process-creation-and-audience-the-32-page-picture-book It’s important to note though that current print-on-demand technologies and self-publishing platforms open the door for more flexibility and more potential to experiment with layout outside of “industry standards.” But, if you’re going the traditional routes or want to hook-in to existing structures and channels (such as bookstores and libraries) when self-publishing then you can expect to create a 32 page book similar to what you see on the adjacent page.

  • Georgia Vs Bodoni Y Y Y Y

    Georgia Vs Bodoni Y Y Y Y

    Georgia, a relatively new serif typeface, was designed in 1993 by Matthew Carter. Microsoft adopted this typeface to be the serif companion to Verdana both of which were intended to be optimally read on a digital screen. Georgia was ironically used in the branding for the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, Georgia. Georgia has many similarities with Times New Roman, but its differences make Georgia much more legible in the digital format. Over 200 years ago, Giambattista Bodoni designed a classic serif typeface that has been used prevalently in design ever since. The early versions of Bodoni were considered transitional but have since been altered to be a modern Didone typeface. Giambattista Bodoni looked to the ideas of John Baskerville when designing this font. He also studied the French type founders Pierre Simon Fournier and Firmin Didot and drew inspiration from their work but ultimately found his own style of typography. Although Bodoni is said to be difficult to read in digital format, printers have acceptedk Bodoni as a beautiful and classic typeface. Although Bodoni and Georgia are separated greatly by age, the both have roots in the transitional typeface catagory. Bodoni has developed over time to be a much more modern typeface, while Georgia has stayed truer to its original design. The greatest similarities to be found between Georgia and Bodoni are when they are bold and oblique. The serifs become much more rounded. Bodoni already has proven its longevity, and in a few hundred years, Georgia may prove to as well. Southern Charm Georgia vs Bodoni y y y y.
