rules

The following is a compendium of the rules established in this book.

You might want to check through them each time you complete a publication.

Use only one space between sentences.

Use real quotation marks.

Use real apostrophes.

Make sure the apostrophes are where they belong.

Hang the punctuation off the aligned edge.

Use en or em dashes, use consistently.

Kern all headlines where necessary.

Never use the spacebar to align text, always set tabs and use the tab key.

Leave no widows or orphans.

Avoid more than 3 hyphenations in a row.

Avoid too many hyphenations in any paragraph.

Avoid hyphenating or line brakes of names and proper nouns.

Leave a least 2 characters on the line and 3 following.

Avoid beginning consecutive lines with the same word.

Avoid ending consecutive lines with the same word.

Avoid ending lines with the words: the, of, at, a, by..

Never hyphenate a words in a headline and avoid hyphenation in a callout.

Never justify the text on a short line.

Keep the word spacing consistent.

Tighten up the leading in lines with all caps or with few ascenders and descenders.

Use a one-em first-line indent on all indented paragraphs.

Adjust the spacing between paragraphs.

Either indent the first line of paragraphs or add extra space between them – not both.

Use a decimal or right-aligned tab for the numbers in numbered paragraphs.

Never have one line in a paragraph in the column or following.

Never combine two serif fonts on one page.

Rarely combine two sans serif fonts on one page.

Rarely combine more than three typefaces on one page.

Use the special characters whenever necessary, including super- and subscript.

Spend the time to create nice fraction or chose a font that has fractions.

If a correctly spelled word needs an accent mark, use it.

DID YOU CHECK?

x-height

A typeface’s color is determined by stroke width, x-height, character width and serif styles. Readability and legibility are two key elements of printed text that typographer strive to maximize. Readability extended amount of text – such as an article, book, or annual report – is easy to read.

Legibility refers to whether an refers to whether a short burst of text – such as a headline catalog listing, or stop sign – is instantly recognizable.

There are several factors that determine whether a text is readable. When deciding what typeface should be used for a job, consideration should be given to the typeface and its x-height. It is important to understand how a block of text can express a message through its texture/color, therefore suiting a particular design solution. Fonts set in the same size, same leading and column width will produce varying degrees of “color”. In typography, color can also describe the balance between black and white on the page of text. A typeface’s color is determined by stroke width, x-height, character width and serif styles.

{

As a designer, if you are only asked to make the text readable on the page the following questions should be asked...

}

Who is to read it? Someone that wants to read it? Someone that has to read it? How will it be read? Quickly. In passing. Focused. Near. Far.

hyphenation

{

In unjustified text, the text block is set with normal letter and word spacing. Because of the even word spacing the text will have an even texture – no large spaces between words. The lines will naturally vary in length. a ragged text block can integrate with the layout and add visual interest to the page. The difficulty is making the ragged edge have a pleasing silhouette. When the first line in the text is longer than the second, it becomes separate from the layout and creates a box-like shape. This destroys one of the advantages of unjustified text. The ragged edge needs to have a life, but a narrow column can be less active.

Another advantage to ragged text is less hyphenation is needed. Therefore, names, dates or words which are normally read together can stay together.

Hyphenation rules to pay attention to 01 Avoid widows 02 Avoid hyphenating or line brakes of names and proper nouns  03 Leave a least 2 characters on the line and 3 following 04 Avoid beginning consecutive lines with the same word  05 Avoid ending consecutive lines with the same word  06 Avoid ending lines with the words: the, of, at, a, by..  07 Never hyphenate a words in a headline and avoid hyphenation in a callout

Headlines Don’t hyphenate headlines. That’s a law. Don Quixote de la Mancha

Also, watch where the first line of a two-line headline ends does it create a silly or misleading phrase? Fix it. Professor and Therapist to Lecture

Don’t Lose Your Self Respect

Don’t leave widows (very short last lines) in headlines. Man Walks Barefoot Across Bay Bridge

Fix it either way, or rewrite. Man walks barefoot across Bay Bridge Man walks barefoot across Bay Bridge

ALWAYS CORRECT THESE PROBLEMS!

“ Widows and orphans on a page are wrong.” Never leave widows and orphans bereft on the page. Avoid both of these situations. If you have editing privileges, rewrite the copy, or at least add or delete a word or two. Sometimes you can remove spacing from the letters, words, or lines, depending on which program you’re working in. Sometimes widening a margin just a hair will do it. But it must be done.

Widow When a paragraph ends and leaves fewer than seven characters on the last line, that line is called a widow. Worse than leaving one word at the end of a line is leaving part of a word, the other part being paraphrased on the line above. Orphan When the last line of a paragraph, be it ever so long, won’t fit at the bottom of a column and must end itself at the top of the next column, that is an orphan. Rivers In typography, rivers, or rivers of white, are visually unattractive gaps appearing to run down a paragraph of text. They can occur with any spacing, though they are most noticeable with wide word spaces caused by either full text justification or monospaced fonts.

What are bad line breaks anyway? Look for bad line breaks throughout every line of body copy. Of course, do this only on final copy, after all editing has been done! Here are several examples of the sort of things to look for.

01 Justify the headline so it stays on one line. 02 Use a line break (Shift Return) to bump

“a” down to the next line, where it fits very nicely. 03 Kern the line a tiny bit to bring the rest of the word up. 04 Type a dischy in front of the word to bump it down. 05 Never hyphentate a person’s name. I had to go up a few lines, bump “off” down, which bumped the other line endings down. This also took care of the inappropriate widow in 06 Kern or work with paragraph to get rid of widdow. 07 There is plenty of room to squeeze “exit” on this line. perhaps by kerning the line a tiny bit. 08 “Horebarn” is a good long word that could be hyphenated; type a dischy. Better yet, when “bought” was moved up, it gave enough room to move “horebarn” up. If not, try opening the text block or text box a wee bit. 09 Edit: to get rid of that terrible widow, exchange a short word for a long word.

STORY BY HOWARD CHASE

alignments

{

If someone insists that fully justified text is better than left-aligned text, tell them they are wrong. If someone else tells you that left-aligned text is better than justified text, tell them they are wrong.

If they are both wrong, then whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right? Alignment is only a small piece of the puzzle. What works for one design might be totally inappropriate for another layout. As with all layouts, it depends on the purpose of the piece, the audience and its expectations, the fonts, the margins and white space, and other elements on the page. The most appropriate choice is the alignment that works for that particular design.

Justified Text Traditionally many books, newsletters, and newspapers use full-justification as a means of packing as much information onto the page as possible to cut down on the number of pages needed.

While the alignment was chosen out of necessity, it has become so familiar to us that those same types of publications set in leftaligned text would look odd, even unpleasant.

You may find that fully-justified text is a necessity either due to space constraints or expectations of the audience. If possible though, try to break up dense blocks of texts with ample subheadings, margins, or graphics. 01 Often considered more formal, less friendly than left-aligned text. 02 Usually allows for more characters per line, packing more into the same amount of space 03 May require extra attention to word and character spacing and hyphenation to avoid unsightly rivers of

white space running through the text 04 May be more familiar to readers in some types of publications, such as books and newspapers. 05 People are naturally drawn to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;neatnessâ&#x20AC;? of text that lines up perfectly on the left & right.

and wrong do not exist in “ Right graphic design. There is only effective and non-effective communication. ” — Peter Bilak - Illegibility

Left-Aligned Ragged Right 01 Often considered more informal, friendlier than justified text. 02 The ragged right edge adds an element of white space. 03 May require extra attention to hyphenation to keep right margin from

being too ragged. 04 Generally type set left-aligned is easier to work with (i.e. requires less

time, attention, and tweaking from the designer to make it look good).

Centered There is nothing inherently wrong with centered text. As with ragged right or fully-justified text alignment, what works for one design might be totally inappropriate for another layout. There are simply fewer situations where centered text is appropriate.

{

}

When in doubt, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t center it.

The most appropriate choice is the alignment that works for that particular design.

As with all layouts, alignment depends on the purpose of the piece, the audience and its expectations, the fonts, the margins and white space, and other elements on the page. No matter what alignment you use, remember to pay close attention to hyphenation and word/character spacing as well to insure that your text is as readable as possible. There will undoubtedly be well-meaning friends, business associates, clients, and others who will question your choices. Be prepared to explain why you chose the alignment you did and be prepared to change it (and make necessary adjustments to keep it looking good) if the person with final approval still insists on something different.

justification

Justify text only if the line is long enough to prevent awkward and inconsistent word spacing.

{

The only time you can safely get away with justifying text is if your type is small enough and your line is long enough, as in books where the text goes all the way across the page.

If your line is shorter, as in newsletter, or if you don’t have many words on the line, than as the type aligns to the margins the words space themselves to accommodate it. It usually looks awkward. You’ve seen newspaper columns where all text is justified, often with a word stretching all the way across the column, or a little word on either side of the column with a big gap in the middle. Gross! But that’s what can happen with justified type. When you do it, the effect might not be as radical as the newspaper column, but if your lines are relatively short, you will inevitably end up with uncomfortable gaps in some lines, while other lines will be all squished together.

When your work comes out of the printer, turn it upside down and squint at it. The rivers will be very easy to spot. Get rid of them. Try squinting at the example on the bottom of the previous page.

General Guideline

The line length in picas should be about twice the point size of the type;

Here is a general guideline for determining if your line length is long enough to satisfactorily justify the text.

that is, if the type you are using is 12 point, the line length should be at least 24 picas (24 picas is 4 inches-simply divide the number of picas by 6, as there are 6 picas per inch). Thus 9-point type should be on an 18pica line (3 inches) before you try to justify it, and 18-point type should be on a 36-pica line (6 inches). The rulers in most programs can be changed to picas, if you like.

Justified text was the style for many years-we grew up on it. But there has been a great deal of research done on readability and it shows that those disruptive, inconsistent gaps between the words inhibit the flow of reading. Besides, they look dumb. Keep your eyes open as you look at professionally printed work (magazines, newsletters, annual reports, journals) and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very strong trend to align type on the left and leave the right ragged.

combining typefaces

There is not binding recipe for type combinations. It is a matter of typographic sensitivity & experience. Expert typographers, as well as careless amateurs permit themselves combinations that would horrify colleagues with more traditional sympathies.

When combining serif sans serif text fonts, one shroud try and match the characteristics of form and type color: proportion, x-heights. Although there is not recipe there is a place to start: Keep an eye on the characteristic shapes of the letterform. A well designed page contains no more than two different typefaces or four different type variations such as type size and bold or italic style.

{

Using 2 different serif fonts or 2 different sans serifs fonts in the same composition is never a good idea!

a prologue to futurism: Futurism was first announced on February 20, 1909, when the Paris newspaper Le Figaro published a manifesto by the Italian poet and editor Filippo Tommaso Marinetti. The name Futurism, coined by Marinetti, reflected his emphasis on discarding what he conceived to be the static and irrelevant art of the past and celebrating change, originality, and innovation in culture and society. Futurism rejected traditions and glorified contemporary life, mainly by emphasizing two dominant themes, the machine and motion. The works were characterized by the depiction of several successive actions of a subject at the same time. Marinettiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manifesto glorified the new technology of the automobile and the beauty of its speed, power, and movement. He exalted violence and conflict and called for the sweeping repudiation of traditional cultural, social, and political values and the destruction of such cultural institutions as museums and libraries.

quotes

Quotation Marks

Use real quotation marks – never those grotesque generic marks that actually symbolize ditto/inch or foot marks: use “and” – not “and”.

Most software applications will convert the typewriter quotes to the real quotes for you automatically as you type. Check the preferences for your application – you’ll find a check box to tell your application to automatically set something like “typographer’s quotes,” “smart quotes,” or “curly quotes.” Then as you type using the standard ditto key (“), the software will set the correct quotation marks for you.

But it is necessary to know how to set them yourself because sometimes the software doesn’t do it or does it wrong. Opening double quote: Closing double quote: Opening single quote: Closing single quote:

{

“ Type: Option [ ” Type: Option Shift ] ‘ Type: Option [ ’ Type: Option Shift ]

}

Bridge Clearance: 16’ 7” The young man stood 6’ 2” The length of the wall is 153’ 9”.

apostrophe

Apostrophe: ’ option shift ] As as aside, people often are confused about where the apostrophe belongs. There are a couple of rules that work very well. For possessives

Turn the phrase around. The apostrophe will be placed after whatever word you end up with. For example, in the phrase the boys’ camp, to know where to place the apostrophe say to yourself, “The camp belongs to the boys.” The phrase the boy’s camp says “The camp belongs to the boy.” “The big exception to this is “its.” “Its” used as a possessive never has an apostrophe! The word it only has an apostrophe as a contraction — “it’s” always means “it is” or “it has.” Always. It may be easier to remember if you recall that yours, hers, and his don’t use apostrophes — and neither should its.

For contractions

The apostrophe replaces the missing letter. For example: your’re always means you are; the apostrophe is replacing the a from are. That’s an easy way to distinguish it from your as in your house and to make sure you don’t say: Your going to the store.

As previously noted, it’s means “it is”; the apostrophe is indicating where the i is left out. Don’t means “do not”; the apostrophe is indicating where the o is left out.

For omission of letters

In a phrase such as Rock ’n’ Roll, there should be an apostrophe before and after the n, because the a and the d are both left out. And don’t turn the first apostrophe around — just because it appears in front of the letter does not mean you need to use the opposite single quote. An apostrophe is still the appropriate mark (not ‘n’).

remember . . . In a phrase such as House o’ Fashion, the apostrophe takes the place of the f. There is not earthly reason for an apostrophe to be set before the o. In a phrase such as Gone Fishin’ the same pattern is followed — the g is missing. In a date when part of the year is left out, an apostrophe needs to indicate the missing year. In the 80s would mean the temperature; In the ’80s would mean the decade. (Notice there is no apostrophe before the s! Why would there be? It is not possessive, nor is it a contraction — it is simply plural.v

dashes

Dashes Everyone knows what a hyphens is —that tiny little dash that belongs in some words, like mother-in-law, or in phone numbers. It’s also used to break a word at the end of a line, of course. You might have been taught to use a double hyphen to indicate a dash, like so : -- . This is a typewriter convention because typewriters didn’t have the real dash used in professional typesetting. On a Mac, no one needs to use the double hyphen—we have a professional em dash, the long one, such as you see in this sentence. We also have an en dash, which is a little shorter than the em dash hyphen -

{

en dash –

Never use two hyphens instead of a dash. Use hyphens, en dashes, and em dashes appropriately.

em dash —

hyphen A hyphen is one third of the em rule and is used to link words. It serves as a compound modifier where two words become one, such as x-height. A hyphen is also used to break works at syllables in text blocks.

en dash – An en dash is half of the em rule (the width of a capital N) and is used between words that indicate a duration, such as time or months or years. Use it where you might otherwise use the word “to.” In a page layout application, the en dash can be used with a thin space on either side of it. If you want you can kern it so it is not a full space. October – December 6:30 – 8:45 A.M. 4 – 6 years of age

em dash — The em dash is twice as long as the en dash—it’s about the size of a capital letter M in whatever size and typeface you’re using at the moment. This dash is often used in place of a colon or parentheses, or it might indicate an abrupt change in thought, or it’s used in a spot where a period is too strong and a comma is too weak. Our equivalent on the typewriter was the double hyphen, but now we have a real em dash. Using two hyphens(or worse, one) where there should be an em dash makes your look very unprofessional. When using an—no space is used on either side.

This very useful typographic element can add emphasis, clarity and visual interest to all kinds of copy. Simply put, a bullet is a large dot used to draw attention to each item in a list or series. The items can be single words, phrases, sentences or paragraphs. Even if you use the bullet that is part of your font, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t automatically assume itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the right size: it might need to be altered in scale or position to make it look balanced next to the text. Bullets should be centered on either the cap height or x-height, depending on the nature of your copy. If all of your items begin with a cap, center the bullet on the cap, or a bit lower so it balances with the negative spaces created by the lowercase. If your items all begin with lowercase characters, center the bullets on the x-height. Insert some space after the bullet to avoid crowding. The preferred way to align bullets is with the left margin. You can also have the bullets overhang the margin, and keep all your text aligned with the left margin. Whichever style you choose, your listing will look best if items that run more than one line are indented so that the copy aligns with itself, and not with the bullet on the first line.

Dingbats as bullets

Another occasion to take advantage of the baseline shift feature is when using dingbats or ornaments. Suppose you have a list of items and you really want to use a fancy dingbat from the Zapf Dingbats font, instead of using the boring ol’ round bullet (or – heaven forbid – a hyphen). But the Zapf Dingbat character is too big. If you reduce its size, the dinbat is too low because the character is still sitting on the baseline. So select the character and shit it up above the baseline.

Pick any three adjectives that describe yourself • • • • • • • •

lovely surly thoughtful funny womanly hopeful ghastly joyful

Choose a dingbat instead of the dumb ol’ bullet (the bullet is Option 8) s s s s s s s s

lovely surly thoughtful funny womanly hopeful ghastly joyful

You can decrease the point size of the bullet, but then it sits too low.

3 6 n s q v i u

lovely surly thoughtful funny womanly hopeful ghastly joyful

You have lots of dingbats to choose from, but they are usually too big. 3 6 n s q v i u

lovely surly thoughtful funny womanly hopeful ghastly joyful

Raise the dingbat higher off the baseline.

{ } To be more creative, substitute symbols or dingbats for the actual bullets. Try squares, triangles or check marks (just not all at once, as shown in the illustration!). Keep these simple and in proportion with the rest of your text.

Numerals & Figures

Oldstyle figures are a style of numeral which approximate lowercase letterforms by having an x-height and varying ascenders and descenders. They are considerably different from the more common “lining” (or “aligning”) figures which are all-cap height and typically monospaced in text faces so that they line up vertically on charts.

Oldstyle figures have more of a traditional, classic look. They are only available for certain typefaces, sometimes as the regular numerals in a font, but more often within a supplementary or expert font. The figures are proportionately spaced, eliminating the white spaces that result from monospaced lining figures, especially around the numeral one.

1234567890

They also work well in headlines since theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not as intrusive as lining figures.

Oldstyle figures are very useful and quite beautiful when set within text. Unlike lining figures, they blend in without disturbing the color of the body copy.

{

In fact, many people prefer them overall for most uses except charts and tables. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s well worth the extra effort to track down and obtain typefaces with oldstyle numerals; the fonts that contain them might well become some of your favorites.

Notice how large and chuncky Dear John, please call me at 438-9762 at 3:00 to discuss marriage. Or write to me at Route 916, zip 87505. Notice how beautifully these numbers blend into the text: Dear John, please call me at 438-9762 at 3:00 to discuss marriage. Or write to me at Route 916, zip 87505.

Small Caps Small caps are uppercase (capital) letters that are about the size of normal lowercase letters in any given typeface. Small caps are less intrusive when all uppercase appears within normal text or can be used for special emphasis. Computer programs can generate small caps for a any typeface, but those are not the same as true small caps. True small caps have line weights that are proportionally correct for the typeface, which me and that they can be used within a body of copy without looking noticeably wrong.

01 Use small caps for acronyms. Set

acronyms such as NASA or NASDAQ in small caps when they appear in body text or headlines. 02 Use small caps for common abbrevia-

tions. Set common abbreviations such as AM or PM in small caps so they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t overpower the accompanying text. Use small caps for A.M. and P.M.; space once after the number, and use periods. (if the font does not have small caps reduce the font size slightly) 03 Use true small caps fonts. Avoid simply resizing capital letters or using the small caps feature in some programs. Instead use typefaces that have been specifically created as small caps.

Where to use small caps If you set acronyms in regular caps, their visual presence is innecessarily overwhelming. One standard and practical place to use small caps is in acronyms such as FBI, NRC, CBS, or SIMM. Traditionally, “A.M.” and “P.M.’ are set with small caps. If you were taught to type on a typewriter (of if you were taught on a keyboard by someone who was taught on a typewriter), you probably learned to set these abbreviations in all caps because there were no small caps on typewriters. But now that you have the capability, you can and should set them properly. Harriet, an FBI agent, turned on CNN to get the dirt on the CIA before going to bed at 9:30 P.M. Harriet, an fbi agent, turned on cnn to get the dirt on the cia before going to bed at 9:30 p.m. The capital letters in the middle of the sentence call too much attention to themselves. Notice how the small caps blend with the text. The capital letters for p.m. are much too large— the abbreviation is not that important.

SMALL CAPS

Small Caps in action

The Wicked Are Very Weary.

There Is No Rest For The Wicked.

The weight of the computer drawn small caps is thinner than the weight of the regular initial (first letter)caps.

True窶電rawn small caps are specially drawn to match te weight of the capital letters in the same face.

“There are quite a few font families that include “true-drawn” small caps—letter forms that have been redesigned to match the proportions and thickness of the uppercase. These families are often called “expert” sets or perhaps “small cap” sets. The result is a smooth, uniform, undisturbing tone throughout the text.”

paragraph breaks

Paragraph Breaks Paragraph breaks set a rhythm for the reader. The breaks have a relationship with the column of text as well as the page margins. A break may be introduced as an indentation, as a space or both. The over all page feel will be influenced by your choice.

In typography there are 4 rules regarding paragraph breaks: 01 First line at the beginning of an article should be flush left (do not indent first paragraph) 02 Block paragraphs are flush left and are separated by extra leading not a full return 03 The amount indent is = to the leading (sometimes needs a bit more) 04 Never hit two returns between paragraphs

Futurism was first announced on February 20, 1909, when the Paris newspaper Le Figaro published a manifesto by the Italian poet and editor Filippo Tommaso Marinetti. The name Futurism, coined by Marinetti, reflected his emphasis on discarding what he conceived to be the static and irrelevant art of the past and celebrating change, originality, and innovation in culture and society.1 Futurism rejected traditions and glorified contemporary life, mainly by emphasizing two dominant themes, the machine and motion. The manifesto’s rhetoric was passionately bombastic; its tone was aggressive and inflammatory and was purposely intended to inspire public anger and amazement, to arouse controversy, and to attract widespread attention. But is is the movements which survive, oddly, here where we live and work as poets and artists: or, if not the movements, then their sense of art as an life itself. All of which, as futurism, had come sharply into focus by the start of the world war: a first radical mix of art and life, the epitome in the poplar mind of an avant–garde. It was, on both its Russian & Italian sides, the first great “art” movement led by poets; and if its means now sometimes seem exaggerated or unripe in retrospect, they carry within them the seed of all that we were later to become. While Marinetti’s opening manifesto for Italian Futurism bristled with a polemical stance in favor of the transformed present (1909), the later manifestos of Futurist poets and artists offered formal, “technical” approaches to the works then getting under way. The key term – still resonant today – was parole in liberta2, by which poetry was to become “an uninterrupted sequence of new images… (a) strict bet of images or analogies, to be cast into the mysterious sea of phenomena.” This freedom-of-the-world, while it resembled other forms of collage and of image juxtaposition, more fully explored the use of innovative and expressive typography in the visual presentation of language, as set in motion by forerunners like Mallarme. Outrageous and aggressive, the Futurists’ performances mixed declamation and gesture, events and surroundings, indifference and engagement, to break the barriers between themselves and those who came to jeer or cheer them. Wrote Marinetti selbst3 (circa 1915), “Everything of any value is theatrical.”

headers, subheads, corssheads

Headers, Sebheads, Crossheads The main header or “headline” is essential to be bold and leap out as the main title of the page or chapter start. If it does not, the reader may be confused as to where the document actually starts.

Subhead

A phrase, sentence, or several sentences near the title of the article or story.

Header

That material which is separted from the main body of text and appears at the top of a printed page.

So I always think it’s a good rule to ensure the reader knows where a section starts and make it quite plain. The main header should also look like it belongs to the first sentence. This can be achieved by ensuring that it’s paragraph spacing (the space after a hard return) is smaller than the paragraph spacing for the first sentence. Paragraph spacing is not commonly used – even amongst designers, but it is an extremely useful tool. Many people add spacing by hitting return but this does not give much control and cannot be styled from style sheets.

Introduction paragraphs are a useful way to entice the reader to continue on reading. They also help not to waste a readers time if they are not interested in reading further. Typographically speaking, these need to be easy to read but more distant than the body text below. They are not the main article and need to be distinguished from it.

purpose The purpose of a subheader is to split up body text so thay a reader can find their way around the document with ease. It also makes the document more readable because the viewer is not faced with a page of block text. Each subheader needs to be linked with the corresponding body text underneath it. This should be achieved by using correcct spacing after and before the subheader (You find these settings in most â&#x20AC;&#x153;Paragraphâ&#x20AC;? tool pallets and the example below demonstrates how it looks when executed)

Footnotes and endnotes are necessary components of scholarly and technical writing.

}

Specifically, a footnote is a text element at the bottom of a page of a book or manuscript that provides additional information about a point made in the main text. The footnote might provide deeper background, offer an alternate interpretation or provide a citation for the source of a quote, idea or statistic. Endnotes serve the same purpose but are grouped together at the end of a chapter, article or book, rather than at the bottom of each page. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also frequently used by writers of fiction, from Herman Melville (Moby-Dick) to contemporary novelists. Whether their intent is academic or artistic, footnotes present special typographic challenges.

107

These general guidelines will help you design footnotes and endnotes that are readable, legible and economical in space. (Note that academic presses and journals can be sticklers for format: before proceeding, check with your client or publisher to see if they have a specific stylesheet that must be followed.)

{

Numbers or Symbols Footnotes are most often indicated by placing a superscript numeral immediately after the text to be referenced. The same superscript numeral then precedes the footnoted text at the bottom of the page. Numbering footnotes is essential when there are many of them, but if footnotes are few they can be marked with a dagger, asterisk, or other symbol instead. Endnotes should always use numerals to facilitate easy referencing.

Size

Footnotes and endnotes are set smaller than body text. The difference in size is usually about two points, but this can vary depending on the size, style and legibility of the main text. Even though theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re smaller, footnotes and endnotes should still remain at a readable size.

A PROLOGUE TO FUTURISM

WORDS IN LIBERTY

Parole in Liberta – words set free

Selbst – himself

Philip Meggs, History of Graphic Design, Van Nostrand Reinhold, 1988

Futurism was first announced on February 20, 1909, when the Paris newspaper Le Figaro published a manifesto by the Italian poet and editor Filippo Tommaso Marinetti. The name Futurism, coined by Marinetti, reflected his emphasis on discarding what he conceived to be the static and irrelevant art of the past and celebrating change, originality, and innovation in culture and society.1 Futurism rejected traditions and glorified contemporary life, mainly by emphasizing two dominant themes, the machine and motion. The manifesto’s rhetoric was passionately bombastic; its tone was aggressive and inflammatory and was purposely intended to inspire public anger and amazement, to arouse controversy, and to attract widespread attention. RADICAL MIX OF ART & LIFE But is is the movements which survive, oddly, here where we live and work as poets and artists: or, if not the movements, then their sense of art as an life itself. All of which, as futurism, had come sharply into focus by the start of the world war: a first radical mix of art and life, the epitome in the poplar mind of an avant–garde. It was, on both its Russian & Italian sides, the first great “art” movement led by poets; and if its means now sometimes seem exaggerated or unripe in retrospect, they carry within them the seed of all that we were later to become. While Marinetti’s opening manifesto for Italian Futurism bristled with a polemical stance in favor of the transformed present (1909), the later manifestos of Futurist poets and artists offered formal, “technical” approaches to the works then getting under way. The key term – still resonant today – was parole in liberta2, by which poetry was to become “an uninterrupted sequence of new images… (a) strict bet of images or analogies, to be cast into the mysterious sea of phenomena.” This freedom-of-the-world, while it resembled other forms of collage and of image juxtaposition, more fully explored the use of innovative and expressive typography in the visual presentation of language, as set in motion by forerunners like Mallarme. Outrageous and aggressive, the Futurists’ performances mixed declamation and gesture, events and surroundings, indifference and engagement, to break the barriers between themselves and those who came to jeer or cheer them. Wrote Marinetti selbst3, “Everything of any value is theatrical.”

MaxogGdQRst BOOK A basic system for classifying typefaces was devised in the nineteenth century, when printers sought to identify a heritage for their own craft analogous to that of art history. Humanist letterforms are closely connected to calligraphy and the movement of the hand. Transitional and modern typefaces are more abstract and less organic. These three main groups correspond roughly to the Renaissance, Baroque, and Enlightenment periods in art and literature. Designers in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries have continued to create new typefaces based on historic characteristics.
