    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.

Coueignoux Submitted to the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science on May the 23rd, 1975, in partial fulfill- ment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ABSTRACT Three contributions are made to the generation of Roman printed fonts: a descriptive model, a generating program, CSD, and a line setting program, FRANCE. The model is based on a linguistic study of the con- sistency of Roman printed characters. Characters are de- composed into primitives. To represent a letter by a char- acter, one uses a specific combination of primitives; a grammar is given, which governs these combinations within the Roman style. The repeated use of the same drawing to represent a primitive in more than one combination differ- entiates the characters of a font from other fonts; further- more, parameters are used to specify the drawings and there exist relationships among the parameters for the different drawings of a font. Related parameters are gathered into families; global transformations for each of the families well describe elementary operations on fonts like boldening, size variations, etc.
