Type Tells Tales

Dans un monde où les outils et supports de communication connaissent d’incessants changements, la typographie demeure la base inébranlable de la création graphique. Elle continue cependant d’évoluer grâce en particulier à des designers graphiques qui, par leur réinterprétation de formes anciennes, façonnent des créations hybrides au pouvoir puissamment évocateur. C’est à l’analyse de ce style « vintage » que s’attache le présent ouvrage, style dont la caractéristique principale est de se réapproprier des caractères conçus dans un passé plus ou moins lointain afin d’en exploiter ou d’en détourner la charge expressive. Les cinq chapitres qui composent Typographie vintage s’attachent chacun à un moment précis de l’histoire de la typographie ; ils décrivent ainsi les réalisations graphiques s’inspirant successivement de l’époque victorienne, de l’ère des caractères en bois, du style Art déco, du modernisme et des formes excentriques du XXe siècle. Chaque partie comprend une courte introduction décrivant les principales caractéristiques des différents styles historiques et la pertinence de leur utilisation dans divers contextes contemporains. Richement illustré de plusieurs centaines d’exemples, l’ouvrage de Steven Heller et Gail Anderson montre à quel point notre héritage typographique occupe une place plus que jamais centrale et dynamique sur la scène graphique actuelle.

"In Graphic Wit, the first book offering a comprehensive survey of humor in graphic design, Heller and Anderson focus on that special instinct for playfulness inherent in all design, and show the many forms it can take in a skilled graphic artist's hands. Loaded with examples of successful design humor in such varied forms as book and record jackets, logos, posters, typography, and advertising, Graphic Wit examines the approaches designers can use for comic effect, including repetition, alteration of scale, and juxtaposition, as well as such specific mechanisms as visual puns, parody, nostalgia, wordplay, and typeplay. Case studies of successful ad campaigns reveal how humor can be used for maximum effectiveness and memorability, and in-depth interviews with 14 design luminaries, including Paul Rand, Paula Scher, and Stephen Doyle, provide insight into the play principle, making humor pay off financially, and the challenges involved in humorous design."--back cover.

This is the first of several small experiments to study the effects of different temperatures on the development of Protophormia terraenovae, a species of blow fly. The objective of this study was to determine if Protophormia terraenovae developmental rates differ when they are raised under constant versus fluctuating temperatures. These data can now be used in death investigations in this region of British Columbia.

EJB allows developers to focus on the actual business architecture of their creations rather than worry about megalocs of code. Because EJB systems are written in Java, they are platform independant and as they are object-orientated, they can be intergrated into existed systems with little or no recompiling.
