Paula Scher's Sketchbook
checkit.
a YouTube video of Paula Scher's sketchbook
She's a graphic designer who does amazing work with type and is the only female partner of Pentagram. Her sketchbook is riff after riff on the alphabet; it's fascinating.

InDesign CS3 to CS2 IS POSSIBLE!!!
Eureka!
It turns out InDesign CS3 documents can be opened in CS2-they just don't make it obvious like Illustrator.
1. Save your document to Artspace (or whatever you're saving to).
2. Go to the File Menu
3. Hit Export. This can also be done by hitting Apple-E
4. Choose InDesign Interchange File from the Format drop-down menu.
The extension will be .inx
I tested this today, so I'm sure it works. You can edit your document and everything.
Happy designing,

Neuland G+S "New Black Face"
Hello everyone,
Here is the article on Neuland I keep referencing by Giampietro + Smith. I would love to have someone else's take on what they are discussing. I will add my comments later. Pretty interesting look into the origin and application of a font!
