Berlow on Time Text

Article Abstract:

Typographer David Berlow, who is also president of The Font Bureau Inc., is interviewed concerning his contributions to the redesign of 'Time' magazine's typeface, Time Text. He cites the reasons why a proprietary face was used and explains the influences behind it, particularly the limits of the Atex word processing system. In addition, he believes that the implementation was successful despite some additional adjustments required, and that the accessibility of typographic equipment makes the outlook of typesetting bright.

Copyright protection in the age of digital media

Article Abstract:

The advent of digital technology has made it harder for illustrators, graphic designers, photographers and other creative service providers to protect their artwork, especially with the continuing unrevision of copyright laws from 1976. This is further complicated by clients who not so much intentionally plagiarize as simply copy for convenience. Thus, tips for the maximum design protection possible in ambigious legal stances are presented.
