Item

Identifier: CC-27573-28650

The introduction indicates that the theme of this book is the idea of constant change, particularly on how to write text which requires typographic change throughout each section of the book.

Scripps College Typography Class: Rules of Thumb. / Kitty Maryatt, editor., 1986

Item

Identifier: CC-27572-28649

Scope and Contents The aim of this book was to first enunciate the rules of typography and then to break one of these rules in such a manner that the copy is not compromised; i.e., to write or find texts that might actually require the breaking of rules for enhanced meaning. These rules have arisen from such practical reasons as readability, legibility and clarity of ordering, e.g., where paragraphs start. They are listed in three introductory pages. For example, 1) A capital letter begins a sentence; when enlarged, it aligns with the base of a line of type, 2) Word spacing is equal to the width of an i, or one-fourth of an em, etc. Each of the nine contributors then contributed two pages, the first a statement documenting the use of a rule, the second an example of violating the rule in a successful way. This book appears to be a very early example of what currently is called the new typography by such practitioners as David Carson and Neville Brody. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth...

Item

Identifier: CC-27686-28774

Scope and Contents

This book was written and designed by the Scripps College typography class under the direction of Kitty Maryatt. The project was to make "Chinese" (in this case Western) spirit papers from handmade paper with the students adding elements to the pulp as a way to insert small poignant messages each wrote for this project. Chinese spirit papers were burned in ceremonies to honor ancestors. Several examples of handmade paper were used throughout the book. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.

Sex and Typography: 1925-1970 Life and Work by Emily King / Brownjohn, Robert ; Chermayeff I ; Fletcher A ; Moholy-Nagy L ; Spencer H ; Finlay IH ; Poynor R ; Butor M., 2005

Item

Identifier: CC-44407-46556

Scope and Contents Brownjohn was an American graphic designer who emigrated to London in the 1960's. "The design profession doesn't produce many larger-than-life figures. Robert Brownjohn-BJ, to just about everyone who knew him, and everyone did-was one. His gifts were immense, as were his appetites. Enfant terrible and visionary, he was both. Mick and the Stones wanted to hang with him. Of course it couldn't last. Robert Brownjohn was simply too big for this world. He died in 1970 at the age of 45, a victim of his own excesses. Today, he is best remembered for his sexy James Bond credit sequences. But Brownjohn's legacy is far more significant, and his story has all the drama and pathos of a Hollywood blockbuster. Now, for the first time, this extraordinary life and career is remembered in print, with all its richness and complexity. Robert Brownjohn: Sex and Typography tracks the story of this legend from his early years as the prized student of Laszlo Moholy-Nagy to his days as a visionary star in...
