The exhibit consisted of 12 posters created as reinterpretations of six chosen typographic styles in the twentieth century including Constructivism, De Stijl, Bauhaus, New Typography, International Style and New Functionalism. She gave a fascinating lecture at the institute last Monday titled Zeitgeist and Typography, which was a culmination of her academic research on the cultural study of typographic styles in the twentieth century at Université Laval, Québec City. The lecture included two very engaging multimedia presentations.Another type-related person from the province of Québec is Luc Devroye, a professor of Computer Science at the McGill University, Montréal. He maintains an extremely comprehensive resource on typography, including links to multilingual typography sites organized by languages, technical aspects of type, type designers, and more. He is very diligent about updating and archiving. The comprehensiveness of his links is mind-boggling. He even has a page on the Canadian font scene. 3/08/2003 03:08:00 AM (0) comments I’ve recently switched to OS X Jaguar and practically spent the entire past week getting everything installed and running properly. It’s close to ready now, but there are so many things that I have to relearn and get used to. I still don’t know what to make of the completely anti-aliased interface... how I miss aliased Verdana at 9, 10 and 11 pixels! But I must say Lucida Grande is growing on me. Font management is a dream: FontReserve is better than anything I’ve ever used, and they offered me a competitive upgrade from ATM Deluxe at a modest price. For those who think the myriad font folders confusing in Jaguar, you would welcome FontReserve.3/03/2003 03:25:00 AM (0) comments Powered by Blogger
