The 90-point display type (Impact) on the title page of this book is aligned optically, not mechanically. If you zoom in, you’ll see that the d, o, and a hang out to the left, beyond the red line. This optical alignment is the default alignment (no interference from me). The typeface you’re reading now is Adobe Caslon Pro, 12 on 16 (with Ligatures on). The other type on this page is Rockwell.

BASKERVILLE

Baskerville, designed in 1754, is most known for it s c r isp e d ge s, h i g h c ont r ast and ge ne rous proportions. The typeface was heavily influenced by the processes of the Birmingham-bred John Baskerville, a master type-founder and printer, who owed much of his career to his beginnings. As a servant in a clergyman’s house, it was his employer that discovered his penmanship talents and sent him to learn writing. Baskerville was illiterate but became ver y interested in c a l l i g r aphy, and pr a c t is e d handw r it ing and inscription that was later echoed in strokes and embellishments in his printed typeface. B a s k e r v i l l e i s c at e g or i z e d a s a t r a n s it i on a l typeface in-between classical typefaces and the high contrast modern faces.

Mrs Eaves

Mrs Eaves was created by Zuzana Licko in 1996 as her first attempt at a traditional font. Modeled off Baskerville, Mrs Eaves gets its name from Sarah Eaves, the maid and eventual wife of John Baskerville. Licko reduced the contrast but maintained the openness and lightness of the original font. The lowercase letters are wider in proportion, and the x-height is shorter relative to the capital letters. Mrs Eaves has been deemed the “imperfect yet pleasing” type, due to its “loose” spacing and overall disjointed appearance. Although “pleasing”, this typeface is not often seen in larger bodies of text- “elegant presence to short text”.

News Gothic follows the grotesque model, resembling serif text faces of the period, with a double-storey lower-case a and g. Also distinctive are the blunt terminus at the apex of the lowercase t, and the location of the tail of the uppercase Q completely outside the bowl. The letter forms are compact, and descenders are shallow. The typeface differs from other realist sans-serifs in its rather light weight and open letterforms, contributing to a less severe, humanist tone of voice.

Focus-stacked image by Zisheng Huang.

This Spring 2019 edition of Focus Stacking was designed and laid out by photo students in Fundamentals of Layout and Design, pictured on the right. They used Adobe InDesign software, and the newsletter was printed on McCoy Silk, 100-pound text paper, on a Kodak NexPress ZX3900, in the Printing Applications Lab (PAL) at RIT. Many thanks to Barbara Giordano and John Dettmer at PAL for helping us with this variable data printing (VDP), mail-merge newsletter. The text is set in Verdana, 10 on 15. Each student designed a completely different newsletter, and all eight were printed in one press run. The students would like to thank the School of Photographic Arts & Sciences Administrative Chair Therese Mulligan, Associate Administrative Chair 12 Michael Peres, and Photographic Sciences Programs Chair Christye Sisson for this opportunity.

Focus Stacking One of the big challenges in photography is determining what area of the image to focus on. How you choose to best capture the area of critical focus will also necessarily impact the image areas both in front of and behind the focus point. The depth of field (DOF) can be intentionally shallow to accentuate one detail of the intended image, or deep, to bring more parts of it into focus. In close-up photography, as magnification increases, DOF decreases. It can become so shallow that interesting aspects of the photograph are not at all sharp. While some out-offocus areas in a photograph can invoke a “real world” feel, in scientific photography, sharply focused images are especially desirable. At the beginning of RIT’s spring 2019

in less light to sharpen focus requires slowing the shutter speed and also causes optical degradation—both contributors to blurry images. One way to solve this problem is to use a digital image processing technique called “focus stacking.” The photographer locks the camera settings and captures multiple images of the same subject, changing only one variable, the focus point. Later, these images are combined (or stacked) to create an image with more depth of field than would be possible with a single exposure. Think of photographing a loaf of bread: in focus stacking, each slice is photographed in place individually, and then the image slices are stitched together by focus stacking software. Every slice contributes only the sharpest details to the final image, and when blended, results in an image where the whole loaf is in focus. Focus stacking allows the photographer to create images that would be physically impossible

image, the shallower the DOF gets.

A series of images can simply be

But at the same time, some of the most interesting images in microscopy are the ones with more depth, so the students naturally wanted to increase the DOF. Conventional microscopes don’t allow control over DOF, so getting the entirety of a subject into focus is impossible. Even at lower magnifications, regardless of how the camera is set up, every detail of an image cannot be captured. Stopping down the aperture to increase DOF has its limits, since letting

Although the origins of pasta are quite foggy, it is believed that “pasta” was first brought to Sicily, Italy by Arab merchants in the form of dried noodles called Itriyah. Pasta may not have been completely invented by the Italians, but they were the first to mass produce pasta and serve it with sauce. Nowadays, many countries around the world have adopted their own form of pasta.

PASTAS of italy

Pasta is traditionally made using unleavened dough from mixing durum wheat and water or eggs. After the dough is formed, it can be molded into different shapes or rolled out. From here, the pasta can either be boiled or baked. Please note that the following pastas are not the only pasta types that exist and there are many, many more delicious variations of this Italian staple.

ReviewReview (4) Design Principles from Williams, p. 13 • contrast Contrast is often the most important visual attraction on a page—it’s what makes a reader look at the page in the first place. • repetition You can repeat colors, shapes, textures, spatial relationships, line thicknesses, fonts, sizes, graphic concepts, etc. This develops the organization and strengthens the unity. • alignment Nothing should be placed arbitrarily. Every element should have some visual connection with another element on the page. This creates a clean, sophisticated, fresh look. • proximity Items relating to each other should be grouped close together. When several items are in close proximity to each other, they become one visual unit rather than several separate units. This helps organize information, reduces, clutter, and gives the reader a clear structure.

“Design Sins” from Golombisky, p. 34 • centering everything • warped or naked photos • too many fonts • bulky borders & boxes • cheated or missing margins • stairstepping • four corners & clutter • trapped negative space • busy backgrounds • tacky type emphasis: reversing, stroking, using all caps, underlining • bad bullets • widows & orphans • justified rivers
