Reports of font circles date back to the Druids, who are said to be exceptional landscapers and typographers. Skeptics quickly labeled the formation a hoax. Still, others were captivated by the beauty and clarity of the letterforms. Was this the work of a higher life-form? Had a greater civilization left behind a typeface so advanced its superior legibility would improve communication between people of all races and religions, ultimately resulting in world harmony? Unfortunately, no. Turns out a group of rowdy design students pulled the prank using plywood, rope and several weights of ITC Avant Garde Gothic.® Today, authorities use Fonts.com to identify suspicious typographic formations. So next time you’re searching for the right font or need to identify one you've stumbled across, don’t run around in circles. Turn to Fonts.com and find your type.

FROM THE EDITOR Most of us are as tired of hearing about information overload as we are of suffering from it. Is there any wonder in the fact that we sit through an avalanche of sensory stimuli every day and yet can recall virtually none of it? But creative people never really tire of learning about the antidotes to the info glut, because it’s both their vocation and their passion to craft the images, messages, and impressions that stand out from the mundane. This issue—which explores design resources—represents our attempt to assist readers in that effort. Design resources take many forms, of course. There are the ser- vices we never imagined that enable us to find just the right font, the perfect paper, the image that leaves a lasting impression. Then there are sources of pure inspiration, the ones that get transformed in the creative mind in a magical way, and in turn spark audiences’ imaginations. This issue presents resources of both kinds. On page 34, type authority Allan Haley shares “50 Type Treasures.” In “My Favorite Things,” page 50, top designers offer their personal picks for services, sites, and states of mind that activate their cre- ativity. And you’ll discover that Alyson Kuhn not only folds her own envelopes, but collects the best and writes about them with felicity; learn how to incite “Envelope Envy” on page 56. Several common threads run through the resources presented here, underlying facets that make the work of their contributors noteworthy. There is attention to detail, as well as that over-maligned and elusive trait, taste. Most of all there is the willingness to personalize the font, the image, the inspiration—to somehow internal- ize it and make it one’s own. Because in an era of prepackaged solutions and corporate blanding, it’s the touch of a human hand that leaves a lasting impression. Tom Biederbeck, editor 8 DynamicGraphics TLFeBOOK TLFeBOOK TLFeBOOK Design can be dated, art direction is timeless.

  • Emotional Design in Web Icons by Hanqing Jin a Capstone Project
    Emotional Design in Web Icons By Hanqing Jin A Capstone Project submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Media Arts and Technology School of Media Science College of Image Arts &Science Rochester Institute of Technology May 2018 Primary Advisors: Christine Heusner & Christopher Bondy Abstract Emotional design is not a specific design field but a perspective that enables users to love and enjoy a product. Emotional design has a significant influence today and is used in many media industries. Emotional design has three levels: visceral, behavioral and reflective. When applied to web icons, the icons should address the three levels. Web icons are part of the user experience of web design. Well-designed icons can improve user loyalty and attract more users. Icons can represent whole websites, such as brands or companies, and even whole countries and cultures. When users glance at an icon, they realize right away what a website is about. Using primary and secondary research methods, this research investigates how emotional design can be applied to web icons. Using a survey as a primary research method, the researcher inquires about personal preferences regarding the visceral level—which includes basic design elements, weight, texture, dimension and shape— of three different web icons: search, home and cart. Through secondary research, the researcher discusses successful examples of specific brands and companies that incorporate emotional design at the reflective and behavioral levels. Keywords:

BACKGROUND The purpose of the Art Oversight Committee (AOC) is to provide guidance, leadership, and support to the Port of Seattle in its policy to obtain and incorporate into Port projects high- quality, contemporary art that engages and reflects the Northwest culture and environment as experienced by diverse cultures. The AOC provides consistent oversight and policy guidance to the art program at all Port-owned facilities. There are up to eight members of the AOC, including a Port Commissioner, up to three Port staff members and four external representatives from the art and architecture community. External members on the AOC serve one three-year term. They are eligible for re-appointment for a second three-year term. Only two members can be rotated off the committee in any one year. Currently, there are two vacancies on the AOC. To broaden its representation and outlook, the AOC decided to look beyond the established nexus of the Seattle arts community, which has been heavily represented on the AOC since its inception, to the surrounding communities in King County when vacancies on the AOC arise.

  • Font Catalog Creator 2.0
    Veenix® Font Catalog Creator 2.0 Introduction Veenix® Font Catalog Creator allows you to quickly and easily create and print font catalogs and font sample sheets of all your fonts, whether they are installed and active in your System or just sitting somewhere on a hard drive. Font Catalog Creator offers 16 professional page layouts, numerous easy to use customization options and even allows you to activate any font in your collection. 2 Easy Steps to Creating A Font Catalog 1. Add your font collection by clicking on the "Add Fonts" icon button in the tool bar of the Font Catalog Creator window. Navigate to the folder containing your fonts and click the "Choose" button. 2. Click the "Print Font Catalog" button in the tool bar of the Font Catalog Creator window or select "Print Font Catalog" from the "File" menu. (Note: It's a good idea to Print to Preview or Print To PDF before actually printing to paper.) Important Printing Notes When printing large font collections, it is a very good idea to start with a clean memory slate by restarting your computer first. It is also a good idea to print in smaller batches: pages 1-50, then 51-100, etc. and also to turn off any other font management software while printing. Font Catalog Creator will alert you if problems are encountered in the printing process, and provide you with the page number on which the error occurred. If you encounter such errors, you should print the fonts on the indicated page in a single-page format (one font per page) to discover the offending font and then remove that font from your database.

It was an absolute honour to have two geniuses in their fields as my advisors. Enriching my knowledge of typography and graphic design and looking through the lens of inclusive design and cognitive science of representation shaped a new respect for the cultural and experiential power of typography in me. My sincere gratitude goes to the talented calligraphers and graphic designers whom I have interviewed back in Jordan. Thank you, for your valuable time, and for allowing me to watch the world from different angles, and experiences. This project owes a lot to your motivation. My heartfelt thanks goes to my family - my late father Khalid, who, although is no longer with me, continues to inspire every step I have to take, my mother Nadia for being the symbol of strength and persistence, my siblings Yasmin, Omar, Ali and Abdullah for always believing in my dreams and doing whatever it takes to make them come true. A special thanks goes to the one who made those two years possible, Ra’ad thank you for being the definition of a life companion and a husband.
