Through questions Matthew Carter's thoughts and ideas on type design have been explored. The resultant dialogue was recorded as an oral history ofMatthew Carter. There are video and audio tapes along with the written project. The purpose ofthis research is to determine how Matthew Carter approaches designing letterforms as technology changes. A discussion follows in which Carter's core philosophy ofletterform design is defined; his ideals and perception oftype design, and any significant trends anticipated in the future ofletterform design. The theoretical basis for this study is the changing technology and how or ifit affects typeface design. A List of References is included as Appendix A. Based upon this review, no one has explored the idea ofhow type design has changed over time, from hot metal typesetting, through phototypesetting, to the age ofdigital typesetting. There are many surprises as Matthew Carter explained how his approach to type design has changed little over the period. The method in which one could set type has changed opening the way to new possibilities. Methodology included study of all ofMatthew Carter's typefaces, formulation of relevant questions, travel to Cambridge, Massachusetts to interview Matthew Carter and record the interviews on both audio and video media. Questions ofImportance include Matthew Carter's early years in printing, his professional life, the present and the future oftypeface design. The appendices contain a list of all ofthe type faces designed by Matthew Carter. Chapter i Introduction Interview with Matthew Carter Interview Date: March 16 and March 17, 1997 We are seated in the elegently understated living room ofMatthew Carter. There is a cityscape enlarged from a sepia 17th century book on perspective on the wall behind us, a Centaur type face specimen by Bruce Rogers resting comfortably on the table beside him. We are about to interview the renouned type designer Matthew Carter. Cherie Cone, a colleague ofMatthew Carter's, will be joining us later. The interviewer is a student from the Rochester Institute ofTechnology (RIT) and is doing this interview as a part of completion ofher Master of Science Thesis. Question: The Interviewer Phyllis Hoffman will appear as PH Response: The Interviewee Matthew Carter will appear MC Response: The Interviewee Cherie Cone will appear CC The reason we chose Matthew Carter is that his career as a designer oftype has spanned over forty years. From the last days ofhot metal to the present day, he has been reconciling type design with changing technology. Through a series of questions that were posed to him, his thoughts on the business of type design, how type design has changed artistically, structurally and materially over the period and how the technology itself has affected letterform construction is presented. In 1956 at the age of 19, when hot metal typesetting was at its zenith, Matthew Carter studied type design with P.H. Raedisch, an assistant to the Dutch type designer Jan van Krimpen in the type foundry of Enschede, Haarlem, The Netherlands. While there he meticulously studied punchcutting underRaedisch. edge again of new font as he is Today he is on the cutting technology designing screen fonts for Microsoft.

In London, where you grew up? MC: My father was a typographer, both a practical typographer and also, particularly toward the end ofhis life, an historian oftype and typography. So, I grew up in that world. I grew up with books about printing, and history of printing, about typography. I suppose I just kind of absorbed an interest in that from my father and other friends ofhis who were in the same business. I went to an ordinary school and while I was at school, I had some interest in printing and graphic design I was lucky in that there was a very fine art master at my school who rather encouraged me and others to take an interest in art in the broader sense. It was a well equipped studio and so, I did get interested in letters, lettering and hand writing. This was at a time in the early fifties when I was in school. There was a revival in italic handwriting and I got rather drawn into that. I did one or two bits, I'm sure, ofvery amateurish lettering for the school magazine. PH: What was the name of the school? MC: The name ofthe school was Charterhouse. It's what is known in England as a public school, which means exactly the opposite. PH: It's a private school. MC: Ifs a private school, it's one ofthe older schools in England. I don't think that it school when was there but it was blessed with a was a particularly good I having good art department.

    California Baptist University Brand Style Guide CALIFORNIA BAPTIST UNIVERSITY BRAND STYLE GUIDE The CBU Brand A brand is the personality a consumer creates for the organizations or products he or she interacts with. Consumers attribute characteristics to organizations to help themselves understand and then engage or avoid them. Brands can be hopeful, helpful, funny, tired, aloof or cold. Consumers create and revise brand personalities every time they come into contact with the organization. These interactions leave impressions on the consumer’s memory. Visualize the impression a branding iron leaves on the backside of a cow and you begin to appreciate the value of each of your interactions with students, parents, alumni, donors and friends. Consistency is essential to building and maintaining a strong brand for two reasons. First, consumers compare each new interaction to memories of previous interactions. When each successive interaction reinforces previous interactions, brand strength is increased. When interactions conflict with each other, the consumer is left thinking the brand is confused and weak. Second, competition for the consumer’s mind is fierce with organizations competing for milliseconds of their attention through a steady barrage of commercial messages. Consistency in CBU’s message and presentation improves the viewer’s (or listener’s) comprehension and increases the likelihood he or she will understand our message in the brief moment we have to communicate it to them. This guide has been developed to help every member of the CBU workforce (1) understand that he or she IS the CBU brand, and (2) properly and consistently represent the brand in all visual and verbal communications.

    Garamond and The French Renaissance Garamond and The French Renaissance Compiled from Various Writings Edited by Kylie Harrigan For Everyone ever Design © 2014 Kylie Harrigan Garamond Typeface The French Renassaince Garamond, An Overview Garamond is a typeface that is widely used today. The namesake of that typeface was equally as popular as the typeface is now when he was around. Starting out as an apprentice punch cutter Claude Garamond 2 quickly made a name for himself in the typography industry. Even though the typeface named for Claude Garamond is not actually based on a design of his own it shows how much of an influence he was. He has his typefaces, typefaces named after him and typeface based on his original typefaces. As a major influence during the 16th century and continued influence all the way to today Claude Garamond has had a major influence in typography and design. Claude Garamond was born in Paris, France around 1480 or 1490. Rather quickly Garamond entered the industry of typography. He started out as an apprentice punch cutter and printer. Working for Antoine Augereau he specialized in type design as well as punching cutting and printing.

  • 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.

  • Type Design for Typewriters: Olivetti by María Ramos Silva
    Type design for typewriters: Olivetti by María Ramos Silva Dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the MA in Typeface Design Department of Typography & Graphic Communication University of Reading, United Kingdom September 2015 The word utopia is the most convenient way to sell off what one has not the will, ability, or courage to do. A dream seems like a dream until one begin to work on it. Only then it becomes a goal, which is something infinitely bigger.1 -- Adriano Olivetti. 1 Original text: ‘Il termine utopia è la maniera più comoda per liquidare quello che non si ha voglia, capacità, o coraggio di fare. Un sogno sembra un sogno fino a quando non si comincia da qualche parte, solo allora diventa un proposito, cio è qualcosa di infinitamente più grande.’ Source: fondazioneadrianolivetti.it. -- Abstract The history of the typewriter has been covered by writers and researchers. However, the interest shown in the origin of the machine has not revealed a further interest in one of the true reasons of its existence, the printed letters. The following pages try to bring some light on this part of the history of type design, typewriter typefaces. The research focused on a particular company, Olivetti, one of the most important typewriter manufacturers. The first two sections describe the context for the main topic. These introductory pages explain briefly the history of the typewriter and highlight the particular facts that led Olivetti on its way to success. The next section, ‘Typewriters and text composition’, creates a link between the historical background and the machine.

  • The Begingreek Package
    The begingreek package Claudio Beccari – claudio dot beccari at gmail dot com Version v.1.5 of 2015/02/16 Contents 5 The new greek environment 3 1 Introduction 1 6 The command \greektxt 4 2 Usage 2 7 Font shapes and series 4 8 Examples 5 3 Incomplete fonts and differ- ent encoding 3 9 Acknowledgements 5 4 Default font control 3 10 The code 6 Abstract This small extension module defines the environment greek to be used with pdfLaTeX so as to imitate the similar environment defined in polyglossia. A corresponding command, \greektxt, is also defined. Of course there are some differences, but it has been used extensively and it is useful. 1 Introduction When using pdfLaTeX and babel, language changes are done with babel’s lan- guage switching commands \selectlanguage, \foreignlanguage or with the environments otherlanguage and otherlanguage*. They work fine, but some- times it is better to have a more “agile” command or environment that can be used at least in place of the last three commands or environments. Some more extra functionalities may be desirable, such as the possibility of specifying a different default font family or to switch font family for a particular stretch of Greek text. This small module does exactly what is described above; it has been created only to be used with pdfLaTeX, therefore if it gets loaded with a package that will be run with XeLaTeX or LuaLaTex it will complain loudly and its loading will be aborted; no, not simply that: the only way to exit from this wrong situation is to quit compilation.
