The many changing faces of type

Article Abstract:

New digital typefaces work in well with the new aesthetic environmental surrounding type in general. The multiplying number of typeface options underscore the importance of type, which is now starting to be free from meaning in experimental designs, where individual letters can be displayed by themselves as images. Type is also used to reflect other textual media, including neon road signage, rubber stamps, facsimiles, bar coding, license plates, and scribbling.

What I know about photography

Article Abstract:

The Pentagram Prize Essay is presented. Photography's truths, its ability to accurately record an event are juxtaposed with the camera's inability to interpret the underlying meanings contained in every image it produces. As a medium to communicate, its success is dependent upon the history and interpretation the individual behind the eyepiece brings to it.
