Overview Times New Roman (TNR) is a serif typeface commissioned by the newspaper The Times in 1931 and created by Victor Lardent, an artist from the advertising department of the newspaper. The typeface was supervised by Stanley Morison, who adopted an older typeface named Plantin as the basis, but ‘made revisions for legibility and economy of space’(). Morrison also intended it to be read and not seen, consequently, without doubt, his intention has been realized. Analysis • Legibility Counters:
When working in any word processing software and you begin tying, chances are you are looking at Times New Roman.

influential art forms out in the world to date yet somehow it goes unnoticed. Max Miedinger, Adrian Frutiger, John Baskerville, and Matthew Carter are some of the most influential and famous photographers in history. Max Miedinger, the creator of “Helvetica”, (one of the most admired fonts) changed the world of typography / typeface. Ever since Miedinger was in his teens, living in Switzerland, he was gifted with an eye for graphic design. Born in 1910, Miedinger was living in a time where typography
assignment proposed by Nathalie Dumont’s Dart 280 class. I devoted a month of work to this project in February of 2014. The assignment was called Helvetica No More in which we were asked to create a poster for Rainer Erich Scheichelbauer’s typographic talk at the Design Lecture Series at Concordia University. The lecture was on the overuse of the typeface Helvetica and how design is meant to be created to explore new ideas. The poster that I produced illustrates breaking the norm of Figure 8: documents
by the aesthetic differences between two typefaces that are included in most computers: Arial and Helvetica. Arial’s ubiquity is not due to its beauty. In fact, it is more than a copy of Helvetica (). Mark Simonson, an American graphic designer, produced an analysis of the two, which shows how much more refined Helvetica’s detailing is than Arial’s. The tail of the ‘a’ is gently curved in Helvetica, as is the first connection of the bowl to the stem, but not in Arial. Similarly, the top of the ‘t’

What is typography? It is important that graphic designers understand the concept and the term of the word ‘Typography’. Typography is simply the art and technique of arranging type and also the design and use of typefaces as a movable type. It’s central to the work and skills of a designer and is about much more than making the words legible and readable. It is considered to have begun with Gutenberg and the development of moveable type. But typography has its roots in handwritten letterforms. Typography

History of Typography Typography is the art and technique of arranging type to make language readable and appealing when displayed. The arrangement of type involves typefaces, point size, line length, line-spacing, leading, tracking and kerning. Typography was implemented in the phaistas disc, an enigmatic Minoan printed item from Crete, which dates between 1850 and 1600 B.C. Supposely Roman lead pipe inscriptions were created with moveable type printing. Typography with moveable type was invented
In addition to the absence, another approach to ‘normal design’ is familiarity, which considers people’s common behaviors and integrates these familiar actions into the way of designing surrounding products. Familiarity, for the one hand, refers to the amount of time people spend using a particular product. For the other, it refers to the similarity between the features of a product and that of other products. Rather than the unfamiliar ones, people tend to prefer the familiar products of a category
The world of typography is so diverse with so many different typefaces that continue to contribute to so many different needs for print and digital purposes. Each typeface contributes to the overall beauty of typography that plays a very silent significant role in the world of design. There are typefaces that are only for one purpose while there are other typefaces that offer multiple purposes. One specific typeface in particular , Futura is highly rated with it’s great versatility, it’s modern and

Design Principles Printmaking is an art or medium that has grown popularity within the last century. It has many forms with different complexities but all forms are based on the same principle, which is to transfer an image from a matrix to a transferring base. There are many kinds of printmaking techniques.

INTRODUCTION In this report, we have to create a website about the field of study such as Political science, International studies, Anthropology and Sociology in the Faculty of Social Science. The main purpose of the website is to attract using mainly high school students to study Social Science as a field choice in the future. In this work, we have chosen the field of Anthropology and Sociology to our website. Our group name is “MEDUSA” and our group website is Lovely Anthropology and Sociology
How to cheat good I just submitted my last set of grades for the semester. This is always a big weight off my shoulders, but since it will be the last set of grades I ever submit at the University, it is an even greater relief. And so I think it's time for me to "give back" as the kids say. I had a 24 hour take home (distance course, so "keep home"?) final exam. Students had to submit it in text and most submitted it in Word. In the exam, I noted that "I expect everyone to behave honorably,"
PAUL RAND Brandon Rivette Art 333: Graphic Design History November 30, 2017 PAUL RAND Background Paul Rand is the designer I will be talking about in these next few paragraphs. I chose Paul Rand for a couple of reasons. Before this semester, Paul Rand`s name has never been brought to my attention. Paul Rand`s name was first brought to my attention in my publication class. During that class we talk about Rand`s work and the designs he has created. Some of the most famous logos we see
The shortcomings of Campbell’s argument are built upon his word use and the relative definitions or insufficient descriptions he includes when referencing certain words. That’s not to say he’s clueless within his graphic design subject field, but the opposite; his expertise is likely the reason that he leaves out the details. For example, Campbell says, “Ornamental details serve only to hasten the day upon which a design will become obsolete. True artistry lies in using timeless shapes and simplicity
