Readers understand the structure of a text by building an understanding of the structure of the content through developing relationships between the sections of content. Headings assist readers with both their comprehension of text as well as assisting them with recall of the content. Headings provide signals to readers to aid navigation of a document by indicating the structure of topics. This helps readers to locate information both through signalling the content of text that may be unfamiliar or providing markers to assist with the recall of the location of information in a familiar text. The importance of headings is known; however, little research exists to indicate how these important organisational features of text should be presented visually. This research was undertaken to fill this gap in our understanding of how headings can assist readers. Five studies were carried out to investigate which heading emphasis methods are most easily identified within a passage of text and which of these methods best assist readers with searching text. An initial survey of current practice for emphasising headings revealed that there are six main methods for emphasising headings and these are often used in combination with each other to create stronger emphasis. It was also revealed that the presentation of headings in the same publication across print and digital formats is often inconsistent. This survey was used to help inform which heading emphasis methods were used in the paired comparison studies to test for ease of identification. Three paired comparison studies were then undertaken to establish which methods of typographic emphasis are most easily identified within a passage of text. These studies compared seven individual typographic emphasis methods with each other in print and on screen then compared five combinations of typographic emphasis methods in print and on screen. These studies found that emphasis methods with the greatest visual weight were the most easily identified. The most easily identifiable heading emphasis methods were then evaluated in search tasks to evaluate which of the four heading styles provided the most assistance when searching for answers in a screen-based text. This research showed that when headings are emphasised using styles that combine two heading emphasis methods they are easier to distinguish from the body copy surrounding them. These more easily identifiable headings are more useful to readers when they are searching for information in a text, both when the text is unfamiliar and when it is familiar. When bold is combined with either an increase in size or a sans serif typeface to create a heading, readers are able to more quickly and accurately find information within a document, whether that text is unfamiliar or familiar.", "subject": "Typography;Reading Comprehension", "location": "New Zealand", "latitude": "-37.7866707", "longitude": "175.3156909", "format": "pdf", "language": "eng", "rights": "All items in Research Commons are provided for private study and research purposes and are protected by copyright with all rights reserved unless otherwise indicated.", "object_location": "https://researchcommons.waikato.ac.nz/bitstream/handle/10289/12091/thesis.pdf?sequence=4&isAllowed=y", "reference_url": "/colin-sandbox/items/etd001.html" } }, { "type":"Feature", "geometry":{ "type":"Point", "coordinates":[4.4840815,52.156569] }, "properties":{ "title": "On The Origin Of Patterning In Movable Latin Type : Renaissance Standardisation, Systematisation, And Unitisation Of Textura And Roman Type", "creator": "Blokland, F.E.", "date": "2016-10-11", "description": "This PhD-research is conducted to test the hypothesis that Gutenberg and consorts developed a standardised and even unitised system for the production of textura type, and that this system was extrapolated for the production of roman type in Renaissance Italy. \n\nFor roman type, Humanistic handwriting was moulded into a prefixed standardised system already developed for the production of gothic type.

A typology will be constructed which identifies the various behaviours by which fluidity is exhibited, and provides terminology for their analysis, accompanied by analysis of how these behaviours address the relationship between the commonly distinct paradigms of verbal and pictorial signs. The work identifies the distinction between fluidity and other forms of kineticism, and explores the various behaviours exhibited in fluid artefacts. When addressing local kineticism, gaps in existing research are filled by employing terms and observations from other fields. For example, Kac offers the term ‘fluid’ in description of his holographic poetry, which exhibits behaviours much like those presented in some examples of screenbased temporal typography. This thesis proposes that Kac’s term, ‘fluid’, may be adopted in order to differentiate significant local change in verbal forms from the various other kinds of kineticism observable in temporal typography. Fluid behaviours are identified in examples including Martin Lambie Nairn and MPC’s Channel 4 idents, the credit sequences of Kyle Cooper, and the typographic animations of practitioners including Komnios Zervos and Dan Waber. This thesis demonstrates that the existing discourse surrounding temporal typography has been held back by a failure to make distinguish between global kineticism (effecting layout) and local kineticism (effecting individual characters). The distinction between the global and the local is considered vital in studies of perceptual organisation, particularly Gestalt psychology. By providing a coherent typology, and consistent terminology, this study has the potential to positively influence understanding and analysis of fluid characterforms.", "subject": "Typography;Kinetic Art\nEduardoKac;Martin LambieNairn;\nKyleCooper", "location": "England", "latitude": "51.76144", "longitude": "-0.2508908", "format": "pdf", "language": "eng", "object_location": "https://uhra.herts.ac.uk/bitstream/handle/2299/9037/00005917%20Brownie%20Barbara%20-%20final%20PhD%20submission.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y", "reference_url": "/colin-sandbox/items/etd006.html" } }, { "type":"Feature", "geometry":{ "type":"Point", "coordinates":[-77.6740997,43.0847317] }, "properties":{ "title": "Typeface Design For A Thai Context: An English Typeface With Thai Stylistic Considerations", "creator": "Sawasdichai, Napawan", "date": "1999-05-01", "description": "This thesis involves the design of a new English typeface which reflects the aesthetic values of Thai culture.

Para su desarrollo se trazaron dos objetivos generales: comprender la influencia que tienen ocho sesgos cognitivos en la selección de tipografías digitales en cuanto al diseño de identidad visual en cuatro agencias de publicidad en la ciudad de Bogotá, y analizar la presencia de sesgos cognitivos en el proceso de selección tipográfica. Para resolver el problema planteado se utilizó el enfoque cualitativo y el diseño metodológico de la teoría fundamentada, en razón a que esta permite la exploración del problema en sí mismo y en el proceso se desarrolla la teoría para su comprensión. De las conclusiones se resalta que, si bien es cierto que los sesgos cognitivos históricamente han sido estudiados en otras disciplinas, también lo es, que en el campo del diseño brillan por su ausencia. Por esta razón, este trabajo investigativo centró su estudio en esta área, argumentando que el conocimiento teórico de los sesgos cognitivos ayudará a entender la toma de decisiones en las diversas tareas y procesos a desarrollar en el ejercicio profesional del diseñador. Finalmente, se considera que este estudio contribuye desde el aspecto teórico al entendimiento de procesos mentales que se presentan en la selección de tipografías digitales. ; The Influence of cognitive biases in digital typography The present research investigation came about through arising difficulties related to the process of selecting digital typographies. In order to develop the investigation two main objectives were formed: to understand the influence that 8 different cognitive biases have on the selection of digital typographies in regards to individual visual design in four advertisement agencies in Bogota, and to analyze the presence of cognitive biases during the typography selection process. To resolve the aforementioned difficulties, a research investigation was formed with a qualitative focus in addition to grounded theory. This structure was formed with the intention to explore the problem within itself and in the process, develop a theory for its comprehension. The conclusions show that even though cognitive biases historically have been studied in other disciplines, there is an absence of cognitive bias research in the area of digital design. It is for this reason the present research project centered on this area, postulating that theoretical knowledge of cognitive biases will help to understand how decisions are made in varios digital projects in addition to processes to develop as an exercise for the professional designer.

A partir da seleção de uma amostra significativa de exemplares de tipografias arquitetônicas nominativas, foi desenvolvida uma série de análises, através de um embasamento teórico, fornecido por uma ampla revisão bibliográfica. Como resultado, foi possível verificar que o estilo Art Déco, de grande penetração na arquitetura da cidade de São Paulo no período estudado, se valeu da tipografia de uma maneira particular, conseguindo com isso promover em várias ocasiões uma relação integral dela com a arquitetura. Também foram encontrados indícios de que a reprodução de um determinado desenho de letra, presente em várias edificações no centro da cidade, pode ter se originado a partir de sua utilização no edifício do antigo Banco de São Paulo. Outros indícios apontam ainda para o possível surgimento desse desenho de letra, a partir da instrumentalização do alfabeto escrito manualmente, utilizado nas pranchas dos projetos desenvolvidos pelo escritório do arquiteto Álvaro Botelho, autor do Edifício Banco de São Paulo.;The aim of this Master Thesis is to increase the knowledge about the use of typography as an architectural element in the city of São Paulo, specially in Art Déco style buildings, built between 1928 and 1954, demonstrating how architectural typography established a new relation, not only restricted to the building itself, but also with the urban landscape and its inhabitants, keeping up with the developments in commercial trade and in the communications and entertainment industry. A series of analysis was developed, on a significative sample of nominative architectural letterings, through a theoretical basis provided by a comprehensive literature review. As a result, it was possible to ascertain that the Art Déco style, which was higly pervasive in São Paulo city architecture during the time considered, made use of lettering in a very particular way, enabling it, in many occasions, to set an integral relationship with architecture. Also, traces were found indicating that the reproduction of a certain lettering style, present in several buildings in downtown São Paulo, may have been inspired by its use in the Banco de São Paulo building. Other indication, also points to a possible origin of this lettering style as derived from the handscript forms, used in the architectural plans drawn in the office headed by Álvaro Botelho, the architect responsible for the design of the Banco de São Paulo building.", "subject": "Architecture;Typography;\nArtDeco", "location": "São Paulo", "latitude": "-23.5613991", "longitude": "-46.7307891", "format": "pdf", "language": "eng; por", "rights": "AVISO - A consulta a este documento fica condicionada na aceitação das seguintes condições de uso: Este trabalho é somente para uso privado de atividades de pesquisa e ensino.

This thesis presents a shape representation for type which allows the manipulation of typographic shapes on a basic level. Two shape representations have been imple­mented: outline and skeletal. In pliant type design experiments, letterforms are created using a shape builder. These shapes then are manipulated through interaction with the user and with computational engines.

This then further clarifies the relation of the program to the built work.", "subject": "Architecture;Typography", "location": "Nova Scotia", "latitude": "44.6356313", "longitude": "-63.5977486", "format": "pdf", "language": "eng", "rights": "Permission is herewith granted to Dalhousie University to circulate and to have copied for non-commercial purposes, at its discretion, the above title upon the request of individuals or institutions.

Current theory and vocabulary used to describe typographic practice and scholarship are based on a historically print-derived framework. As yet, no new paradigm has emerged to address the divergent path that screen-based typography has taken from its traditional print medium. This study argues that the current model of typographic education is unable to provide design students with appropriate models, concepts and grammar to explore the potential of typography in screen-based media. Hence, a re-evaluation of the current framework is proposed in order to develop new approaches that will reduce misappropriation of typographic principles and aesthetic values in screen-based media. This study is composed of three research stages. Stage One (consisting of a literature and design application review) was used to develop an understanding of the current typographic application in screen-based media. Stage Two (consisting of a questionnaire survey and in-depth interviews) was used to investigate the relevance of current typographic knowledge in relation to screen- based media. Additionally, this stage helped identify critical issues surrounding current and future typographic practice. Findings from Stages One and Two were used as a basis to develop a new framework. This framework was subsequently tested and refined in Stage Three through action research projects (with Graphic and New Media design students) and peer reviews (with design educators and professional practitioners). The final framework consists of six key attributes: an integrated model of knowledge, cross-media skills, cross-disciplinary influences, it is communication-focused, flexible and adaptable. It reflects a future model of a convergent media, not a continued separation of print and screen. This framework consists of two distinct areas of knowledge: Global Skills (Form, Content, Expression and Context) and Specialist Skills (Hyper-textuality, Interactivity, Temporality and Usability). It is concluded that the approach and knowledge-base used to teach typography must be modified to reflect the challenges posed by media convergence, where transferable global skills are emphasised across a range of media. Typography's knowledge base has to be expanded to include specialist skills derived from technological and social changes in communication technologies. The principal contributions of the study are: the identification of transferable global typographic skills; the introduction of specialist design skills required for effective cross-media type application; presentation of an integrated model of typographic knowledge and practice; a curriculum guide aimed at helping design educators plan and deliver typography in graphic and multimedia programmes; strategies and approaches to help designers remediate their print- derived knowledge and lastly, as a subject reference guide for visual communication design students. The framework is not offered as an absolute representation of western-based typographic knowledge for cross-media application but instead should be considered as a signpost to help understand the current transition of knowledge between print and screen. Additionally, this framework has been developed and tested within a single educational environment. As a result, variations in teaching and learning styles were not taken into account. Audiences are urged to treat the framework as a 'work-in-progress' model that can be refined through additional field- testing in other educational environments. And finally, the application of the framework within a professional practice environment would require a comprehensive review of practice-based concerns and a further simplification of the framework.", "subject": "Typography;MediaAndCommunication", "location": "England", "latitude": "54.9764598", "longitude": "-1.6096459", "format": "pdf", "language": "eng", "rights": "Northumbria University has developed Northumbria Research Link (NRL) to enable users to access the University’s research output.
