    Dear Mr. McWade:In Type: The Visible Voice, you mixed

    serif fonts [Times and Century Oldstyle],which they say youre not supposed to do,but which I thought looked OK, like you said.Ive also heard that sans-serif text is hard toread, yet it looks all right to me and Id liketo use it. Whats your advice?

    Peter EllisonFort Worth,TX

    Do it. You said something great: It looksall right to you. You must trust your owneyes; youll never design anything inter-esting if you do only what they say.

    Greeking

    The babble on the right is greekingor dummycopy, a galley of very useful nonsense. Greekingsimulates English. A designer uses it to mockup, or lay out pages before the real words areready. Greeking appears to most people to beLatin. It is not. Letraset calls it body typeandsells it in the form of cut-out-and-press-on filmfor those who use caveman tools. I just type it.

    Sans-serif text reads very well. InSweden, where sans-serif text is usedfor everything including schoolbooks, ittestsfasterthan serif text.

    The American reader is accustomed

    to serifs and to text set between 9 and11 points, which is what most books,magazines and newspapers use.

    Proceed with this knowledge.Butalso know that beautiful type makes astatement of its own; it adds eleganceand an attitude to your words, qualitieswhich are more certain than a question-able edge in timed reading speed.

    Dear Mr. McWade:While you use PageMaker and FreeHand

    (I assume on a Mac), Im limited to Page-Maker on a PC and Micrografx Designer. Infuture issues, could you subtitle varioussteps for other illustration programs?

    Richard LowellNorfolk,VA

    Id love to . . . but. There are so manyexcellent programs in use that if Isubtitled steps for each of them the in-structions would be cumbersome andinefficient. Since Before & Afteris pri-marily about design and page layout,not software, I elected to use one set ofsoftware from a single vendorAldus.

    Dear Mr. McWade:I have had no formal training in art or

    advertising and need help with the basics.Patsy Moyer

    Fresno, CA

    If you want to design cool stuff, my bestadvice is look around and look closely.

    I learned my design skills on thestreet. It is an excellent school. Thebest-read, best-looking, most efficientlyproduced publications come from edi-tors, designers and businesspeople inreal companies whose skills and successare graded in the marketplace ratherthan the classroom. This means that themagazines on your supermarket news-

    ZAT?!

    E ESerif Sans (without) seri f

    stand are the winners, not the pretend-ers. Study them. I find inspiration fordesigns of all kinds in womens maga-zines such as Family Circle, LadiesHome Journal and Redbook. Each isfull of visual variety, each accomplishesa great deal in small spaces, and withtheir mastery of contrast and pacingtheyre models of how to draw and holda readers interest. Observe the details:an initial capital letter, a subhead, a by-line, a box, a bit of empty space. Insteadofreading, pay attention to whats hap-pening typographically. Examine how aphoto fits its space, its size, how itscropped, what its aligned with. Notethe size of that headline, its font, how itcontrasts with the text, the width of acolumn, and so on. Youll be pleased athow much you can pick up by osmosis.

    Dear Mr. McWade:Sixteen pages make a skinny magazine.

    Do you plan on more?Susan Donahue

    Dallas,TX

    Your perception was a risk I took inmaking Before & Afterlook like a maga-zine. In fact, it is a professional news-letter: It delivers a tightly focused prod-uct of commercial value to a professionalreader, it carries no advertising and it isavailable by subscription onlyits solesource of revenue.

    False emboss adds subtleglamour inexpensively

    Embossing is the process of pressingan image in relief into a sheet ofpaper. The relief may be printed orleft blind, meaning unprinted.Em-bossing is an complicated operationordinarily reserved for those nose-in-the-air jobs on ice-slick paper.

    This clever alternative is easy aspie to do with any software that willshade type or graphic objects(Free-

    1. TYPEOpen PageMaker orFreeHand and type aword. Tint 30% black.

    Xam2. CREATE SHADOW SIDECopy. Paste; tint 60%black. Copy again (forlater). Position just . . .

    3. POSITION. . . slightlyleft and downfrom the original. Sendto back.

    4. PASTE LIGHT SIDEPaste again. Move newword into positionslightly up and to the . . .

    7. DRAW BACKGROUND BOX AND . . .Fill to match middle tone (30%). Send to back andyoure done. Now experiment. Move the light source.Color the central word (a printedemboss). And trythis: Reposition and/or retint the same objectstomake the light appear to come from behind, as if theimage were on glass! Send me your results.

    exceptionally difficult to do. Neverthe-less, the response has been sensational;as we are able to add pages, we will.

    Dear Mr. McWade:I have only a laser printer and no color.

    Are there special design rules for that?Dennis R. ODell

    Buffalo, NY

    Always work to the strengths of theequipment at hand. A laser printer setsa sharp, black image but marginalshades that look dirty if reproduced. Itdoesnt handle photographs well. Largetype is very strong, but small type isragged. Its best features are drawn ob-

    jects, lines and reasonably large text.Two pointers: One, dont decorate.

    For example, dont use a line unless it isto separate information that would beunclear otherwise. Two, keep it simple.A crisp, confident typewritten page (theold kind) could hardly be simpler yet itmakes an absolutely businesslike state-ment; it is a classic model.

    Test yourself with this: Create adocument with one typeface; say, TimesRomanno italics, no bold, just Times.Observe the font. What is it like set verylarge, or with extra space between let-ters? Set a word in uppercase lettersbut smaller than normal. Add spacebetween those. Try writing two-wordheadlines. Youll enjoy learning.

    Hand 2.02 or PageMaker with ColorExtension). Although a real embossis normally raised, with software youcan create the illusion of a depres-sion,as well. As you work, bear inmind that the eye perceives light ascoming from above, which is why thesample graphic appears to sit inade-pression. Turn it upside down, coverthe words and it will appear raised.

    Do you realizethat in the past two weeks

    a billion dollarsin advertisinghas passed your eyes and ears and

    you havent even noticed?Yetyoure now reading the tiny text onthis white ball. Do you know why?

    Hmm, since youre here,I have this bridge . . .

    C. J. Weigand wanted an asymmetrical look for his newslet-ter, a departure from the stock, three-column, desktop-published page. Hed use most of his page for text, and theempty column, set to the inside, would be reserved forpic-tures, captions, callouts, and miscellaneous information.

    His idea was good; the results were disappointingyetthe makeover, he said, was the look hed had in mind.

    But had he come close? Well, see for yourself:

    PAGE 1 BEFORE

    PAGE 1 AFTER

    A cacophony of type styles, sizes,positions and other variationsbewilder the eye, which searchesfor a focal point and finds none.

    Here, type has been toned down,the page organized into four visualareas: banner, headline, text andcontents; eye now flows smoothly.

    Typefont faux pas

    Unlike other graphics, a typefont speaks English, so itsshape, size and position on the page exert covert andinescapable influence on the mind of the reader.

    The reader will respond to a word set in dense boldtype differently than to the same word set in a light face,or, say, a condensed face. Each variation makes a uniquestatement. Here, The Weigand Report nameplate shouldsend a unified message, yet it has been set in two fonts,four sizes, on four baselines in at least seven variations.So while the reader understands the English, theunspo-ken messages clash, contradict and weaken the page.

    Turn to master pages.Select Column guides;enter 7 columns, 1pica between, leftpage only.

    Zoom to 200% sizeand drag vertical rulerguides into positions

    exactly on top of thecolumn guides.

    Reselect Columnguides; enter 3 col-umns, 1 pica between.Reposition the newcolumn guides (theymove in pairs) exactlyon top of the rulerguides in the columnsshown. Discard theruler guides for thosecolumns, which are nolonger needed.

    Repeat for right page,which is identical.

    Save.

    The seven-column format isenergetic, extremely flexibleand a lot of fun to work withit forms a foundationsuit-able for literally thousands of

    layouts in nearly any type-font. This makeover uses two:Helvetica Inserat (a boldsans-serif very similartoHel-vetica Black condensed), and

    Janson Roman, a wonderfullyreadable text font similar toold-style Garamond.

    Text: Janson Roman 10/12Subheads: Helvetica Inserat 9/12Headlines: Helvetica Inserat 30/30Large cap: Janson Roman 78/78

    For breezy, easy positioning of textblocks, select Top of capsin the

    Spacingdialog, which keepstextin-side its windowshade. Note it is thewindowshade, not the text itself,which snaps to ruler.

    Text, set on 12-ptleading, aligns with

    1-pica ruler incre-ments, or multiples ordivisibles of 1 pica.

    Although your newsletters name is notThe Weigand Report, the stencil effecton Weigands nameplate is a cinch to dowith PageMaker and can be applied toan endless variety of fonts. Heres how:

    Text blocks each

    Data of any kind is easier to understandonce we see it. The chart below picturesthe growth of junk bonds for the years19851988. The six variations areprac-tically identical: same bars, same data,same sizeeven the proportions are thesame. Each was created using only the

    line and box tools in PageMaker, and yetthe results are decidedly different.

    In narrative form, the data lookslike this: Bonds outstanding, in billions:1985, $82; 1986, $126; 1987, $159; 1988,$180. The numbers are easy enough tounderstand; youd chart this data for

    only one reason: to aid comprehensionof the trend. Once the designer under-stands this, he can create a simple chartthats easier to read than the text. Butthe sheer number of graphic tools infront of you conspire to draw your eyefrom the task at hand. Watch:

    4.THIS CHART WILL PULL THE EYE

    Reversingthe image creates a bold, clean graph-ic that will draw the eye amidst any amount ofclutter. It is flawed because the graphic nowoverpowers the font, which suddenly looks meek(it is unchanged); even so, it conveys its infor-mation rapidly. Not only is it better, but it iseasier to make than the one above it; the barlengths do not have to be precise since theyin-clude their own data; just get reasonably close.

    5. CONTRASTS IN TYPE AND SHADES CLARIFY

    The best-looking chart on the page is also thebest chart. Every element aids comprehension.Set in two fonts, Helvetica Black and Light,vari-ations in size, weight and color make each kindof data similar (which provides visual continu-ity)yet unique (which provides clarity). Thedol-lar amounts are huge and bold, yet in white ongray they recede proportionately. Comprehen-sion is instantaneous. This is a perfect chart.

    6.AN EXCELLENT CHART SHIFTS THE EMPHASIS

    Recoloring the previous chart throws the bal-ance to the data bars and makes the bannerre-cede. Note the vertical gray background stripes;these suggest dataall thats needed here;on another chart they could be real numberlines. Note also how the banner is pristine (afunction of its uppercase letters) while theHelvetica Black and Light fonts contrast andelegantly rank its information by importance.

    This chart will stop the most avid reader. Ratherthan accelerate comprehensionin this case,of a simple trendit seriously interferes. Forexample, the dollar scale forces the reader tostop, follow a line to the bottomand estimate

    an amount. And why make the reader comparelegend patterns for no reason but to learn the

    year each bar represents?The outlined head-line muddies rather than clarifies, and the boldpatterns are as brash as polka dots and plaid.

    2. FOUR STEPS IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION

    At least you dont need sunglasses to view thisversion. Every box and outline was superfluous;the bars are sufficient to define themselves,and the smooth, gray tones allow the reader toabsorb the data, not the graphics. Years placed

    adjacent to their bars (rather than in a legend)speed comprehension a lot. Four vertical linesdrop to their exact dollar amounts and com-municate directly. Note that each bar is atopthe lines that do not pertain to it, adding clarity.

    3.TWO PROBLEMS SOLVED

    This chart is less attractive than the previousone but it communicates as fast because thedollar amounts are right in the bars. The readernow has a straight reading path from year todollar while the length of the bars tells the story

    visually; that is, that the dollar amounts rosesteadily. Note there is no need to color the barsdifferently since each conveys the same kindofinformation. Copiers dont reproduce tints well;simple lines like these work better in such case.

    CHARTMAKING

    A good chart communicatesquickly.Heres how to make one.

    BEFORE: OFFICE TYPING

    6.BOLD, ITALICS AND UNDERLINES. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

    In office typing, it is customary to use anunderlineto emphasize a word or denotea name or the title of a book or paper.Many typewriters and modern printersalso permit the use of boldface type.When typeset, however, neither onelooks very good and either one makes a

    word stand out, which you dontwant.Typesetters, therefore, always useitalics, which were designed for thispurpose and which in many fonts arevery beautiful.

    Italics trivia: Aldus Manutius, the15th16th century printer for whomAldus was named, is credited withdeveloping italics. Do you know thedifferencebetween italicand oblique?An italic is a different letterform than theRoman; an oblique is the Romanletterform slanted.

    5.ELLIPSIS. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

    An ellipsis is a three-dot pausethat,prop-erly set, maintains the pace of the text.But the ellipsis that the computer makesis compressed, and reading over onefeels liketrippingover ones feet. Iprefer a space-dot-space-dot-space-dot-space; the extra distance ensures a morenatural rhythm.

    1.PARAGRAPH INDENTS. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

    Set the indent in the Paragraphdialograther than with the space bar or tabkey. How far? Usually, whatever thepoint size is: 12-pt type = 12-pt indent.Party quiz: Why indent the firstparagraph?

    2.SINGLE-SPACE AFTERALL PUNCTUATION

    . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

    In office typing, two spaces are usedafter periods and colons. Whentypeset-ting, however, only one space is used.There are no exceptions to this rule.

    3.UPPERCASE LETTERS. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

    Acronyms, initials and other capitalizedwords in textIBM, RAM, CD-ROM, SCSI,

    and so forthshould be set smallerthan text size or theyll STAND OUT anddraw unwanted attention. Strictlyspeak-ing, youd use small capsfor thispur-pose, which the computer can setauto-matically. But I think small caps are toosmallthey draw attention because oftheir smallness. My preference,there-fore, is to manually reduce textsizecap-ital letters (strings of three or more) apoint or two, from, say, 10 pt to 9 pt or18 pt to 16 pt, depending on the font.Check your work by turning thepageup-side down; the caps should blend in. Ifthey dont, make them smaller.

    The paragraph on the left was set bytyping exactly as one would on anoffice typewriter; on the right is howthe paragraph would be set byapro-fessional typographer. Compare thesamples frequently as you read. It is

    very satisfying to set type beautifully,and it is not difficult. Master theserules and your work will withstandthe most rigorous scrutiny:

    4.WIDOW. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

    One word orhorrorspartof a wordthat takes up an entire line at the end ofa paragraph, leaving an unsightly whitegap. A widow is acceptable butundesir-able typography and is most effectivelyeliminated by editing the text. Worse isan orphan, the last word of the previous

    paragraph alone at the top of a column.

    TYPE:

    Its ironic that the better your type is, the lbut beautiful type is high art and

    AFTER: TYPESETTING

    7.HYPHENS AND DASHES. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

    In office typing, two hyphens - - like these- - are used to make a dash. Whentype-setting, a long dashcalled an emdashis used instead. How long is an em?Whatever the point size is: 12-pt type =12-pt-long em, more or less. Anotherdash, called an en, is half the length of

    an em but longer than a hyphen. It isproperly used in dates, times, etc., toindicate a range, such as 4:005:00,or April 26May 9, instead of a hyphen.

    If youre fussy, youll not interchangean en dash and a hyphen. Either dash ismade using a combination keystroke:

    8.F-LIGATURES. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

    A ligatureis an elegant combination oftwo or more characters in a singlechar-acter. Most desktop publishing typefontpackages contain four: fi, fl, , . Ofthese, fiand flappear in many commonwordsoffice, file, flight, and so onandshould be used in everyday typesetting.

    The others are extremely rare and latelyare used mostly by snobs.

    The use of ligatures is consideredvery fine typography. Ligatures areespe-cially attractive in serif type andparticu-larly in italics. A ligature is made using acombination keystroke:

    9.UNIFORMITY. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

    Well-set type is even and rhythmic. Noteyour word and letter spacing and strivefor a smooooth, gray tone to the text.Eliminate whatever disrupts itlarge orirregular gaps (usually the problem),up-percase or bold characters, and so forth.

    10.QUOTATION MARKS AND

    APOSTROPHES. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

    Build a brochure with peekaboo panels

    thanks to its eye-catching peekaboopanels. Add the fact that its easy toset up and inexpensive to print (onlyone sheet of paper), and youll find itis well suited for many projects.

    Begin on page 11 with the Page-Maker setup. Select from two sheetsizes: the legal size is more conven-ient; the larger size, in the world ofbusiness marketing, is more common.Because of its offset folds, the panelwidths vary slightly. Although theamounts will not be noticed by yourreaders, youll notice them if you

    attempt to copy, say, a box from onepanel to the next; it wont fit exactly!

    This is a job for a commercialprinter, who should be consultedbe-fore starting. Because the folds mustbe accurate, look for a printer withexcellent folding equipment.

    Peekaboo panels . . .. . . make this brochure zesty and setit apart from the crowd. Panelhead-ings lead the reader to the contentsinside. Even without the headings,the printed panels are inviting,beck-oning the reader to open the bro-chure. They look very good in shadesof gray, too.

    You dont need to print thepeek-aboo panels at all; in that case usethe instructions for Version B.

    From one sheet with slightly offset folds . . . . . . fold over . . . . . . then over again. Cool.
