Pralllesahe Gmat Graphic Innovators

It is a peculiar and somewhat unfortunate characteristic of the human mind that remoteness in time, space, or experience causes us to lump together what should be kept separate. This trait makes us view as a fairly unified period the thousand-year-long"Middle Ages,"which were really a succession of distinct eras, in which the epoch of Charlemagne differed from that of Louis IX approximately as the 19th Century did from the 20th; or to speak of "Oriental countries" and an"Oriental mind" as if Chinese, Indians, and Arabs were one race with a single set of beliefs, traditions, and customs.ln like manner, people will speak of an' Art Deco" period as if it were a single entity and of an' Art Nouveau" period as if an art form that thrived over a number of years displayed no differences among artists in the course of its duration, no variances in style and approach. This, of course, is not true. An art form's diversification, in time and in space, varies with the strength of the cultural tradition coupled with the emotional content that both binds and separates artists and their very individual means of communication. It is with this in mind that the editors of U&/c are pleased to introduce in this issue what we believe will be an important series of articles on those graphic giants who have strongly influenced the direction of visual communications from the turn of the century to today. This came about as the result of a recent conversation in our offices with a young editorial art director.We had been discussing the current (as is said)"state of the art"when she happened to notice a handsome portrait on our desk and paused to ask us about it."Who's that?" she asked. Us: Who's what? Her: That man in the photo.Who is he? Us: You mean you don't know who he is? Her: No. Should I? Us: You most definitely should. Her: So okay then, so who is he? We realized with stunning chagrin that this young lady, this Art Director, hadn't the slightest idea that she was looking at none other than Alexey Brodovitch not only one of the first great innovators in her very own field of magazine format design, but the man more responsible, probably, than anyone else for many of the design techniques she herself was undoubtedly using. But if our surprise was great at that, it quickly doubled in spades as she turned to a companion photograph of Paul Rand and said,"Who's that?" Us: You mean you don't know who he is? Her: Don't tell me you think I should. Us: I think you most... Her: I know.I most definitely should. Us: That's right. Her: So okay then, so who is he? Her additional and startling lack ofknowledge of the man who most influenced the careers of many of today's foremost designers made it graphically clear that a series of articles on the subject was not only pertinent but an absolute necessity. So many of our younger designers, so many of our students and educators, are not only disturbingly uninformed about the designers of the past who were responsible for shaping the course of our profession,but are even in the dark about many of the innovators functioning today. It is, therefore, our intent to try to remedy this to enlighten those who need, or would appreciate, enlightenment by presenting this nexus of Profiles, a series of intimate insights into the selves and personalities of the leading innovators over the past 50 years, a series designed to reveal what made, or makes, them tick rather than to present another vapid rehash of their Ark chronology. The articles wil cover, on an international scale, designers and art directors, photographers and illustrators each and all of whom have left an indelible mark on the graphic community over a sustained period of time. The portraits of each artist in this series will be drawn by Dian Friedman with editorial insights being written by Jack Anson Finke and Gertrude Snyder. Additional perceptions will be contributed by Herb Lubalin whose association with many of the artists will provide opportunity for insights not generally forthcoming from the artists themselves. Associate editor of U&lc,Jack Finke is better knownfor his radio, television, and magazine writings. Author of teleplays for many of the major network shows ("U.S. Steel Hour,""Suspense," "Studio One,""Westinghouse Presents," "Playhouse 90,"etc.), he was writerdirector of the long-running CBS network series, "FBI In Peace and War" and NBC's "Treasury Men In Action,"as well as author of stories and articles for, among others, "The Saturday Evening Post,""Story,""This Week," "American,"and 'American Mercury." Additionally, he has written comedy material for Eddie Mayehoff Buddy Hackett, Kay Thompson, Wally Cox, Godfrey Cambridge, and Jonathan Winters and, presently, is writing and directing a new series of half-hour action dramas for nationalsyndication under the aegis of the Chicago Tribune-New York News Syndicate.

Gertrude Snyder began her careeras Dian Friedman is an outstanding poran editorial art director (not-the-least trait artist who graduated from Syraunfamiliar withAlexey Brodovitch and cuse University where she studied art Paul Rand), eventually branching out with M.

BOOK REVIEW: ARCHITECTURRL ALPHABET

riE1 1 1 1 1 1 11

1111111

More than two hundred years ago, when the Architectural Alphabet of Johann David Steingruber was first published, it was intended for "those learned in architecture and curious readers:' Anyone finding himself in either of these categories today will be delighted with this splendid limited edition of the 1773 classic work. The book is a tour de force in architectural design, basing contours and ground plans on the letters of the Latin alphabet. Each letter of the alphabet is used as the basis for a conceivable structurethirty designs covering twenty-five letters; with I serving for both I and J, and alternative schemes for the letters A,M,Q,A, and X. In his own introduction to the book, Steingruber wrote: "However numerous the discoveries and invention of architectural plans and layouts, no one has yet worked out a system involving use of these letterforms. So I have devoted my leisure hours to the compilation of such alphabet-based designs in the hope that the very quirks and curves of the letters may compel future architects to divide up their interiors more constructively and imaginatively:' The Architectural Alphabet may seem startling in its conception, but it is a characteristic product of the fantasy and exuberance of the baroque. Born in 1702, Steingruber was a practicing architect and master builder at his native Ansbach in Bavaria and, for many years, acted as chief architect at the office of works for the whole principality. He was closely involved in replanning the townscope of Ansbach as well as the design and building of some three hundred houses and churches in the regionmany of which still survive. It has been said that nothing demonstrates the lack of genius and the sterility of inventive powers of our architects more clearly than the eternal sameness that prevails in the layingdown of ground plansa statement quickly verified by a look at the uniformity of glass houses surrounding us today. The contents of this bookreproduced in near-entirety heremake widely available for the first time Steingruber's great storehouse of ba- rogue fantasy and romantic yet practical invention (copies of the original publication were destroyed in Europe during World War II). Surely every architect, designer, and "curious reader" who opens its covers (or examines these pages) will agree with Sir Francis Meynell's pinpoint comment: "I can think of no other recent book which so happily combines lively learning, serious study, and lines of surpassing beauty:' For the enterprising architect, for the interested designer, and for the"curious reader" this book is certainly a must.

To sit at the desk of Milton Glaser is to have a seat at the windows of the world. In the span of half an hour, there were phone calls to and from Milan, London, Roma, Paris, the Caribbean, and the soiled-snow radii of his Manhattan office. Milton Glaser Incorporated had begun another day. Day first dawned for Glaser in New York City, the city in which he is still strongly vested. The city schools provided education, a city schooling which paid homage to him as an 11-year old class artist, a specialist in drawing naked ladies. Back to Milton at 4 years old.A cousin asked,"Would you like to see a chicken?" The child, expecting to see a live chicken, was astounded when the chicken materialized visually."It was the first time I saw anyone draw. I've never recovered, from a sense of the miraculous the formmaking activity engenders:' From chicken to poulet is an easy conversational hop for the articulate Glaser, to what he calls"my most glamorous professional moment, the one that should be in the movie:' He was visiting the ParisMatch offices. M. Pouvet, the French Henry Luce, asked Milton if he'd re-design the magazine."0K, I'll take it back to New York, and return with sketches in 4 weeks:":..you don't understand...we need it tomorrow:'Glaser, the AD and 4 editorial assistants worked around the clock, and voila! a champagne celebration. "It was the first time I really felt comfortable in Paris. I'd always been intimidated by the French. Now, I felt I did them a favor; they owed me.:'. At the other end of the professional spectrum, in retrospect Glaser regards as "a ghastly two years:' the beginning years of NewYork Magazine. Editorial confusion spilled over into the design area,which compounded its own woes; his product was on display every week, his colleagues were"merciless:' For the most part, when a job gives him trouble creatively, Glaser backs off, goes on to something else, and the problem seems to solve itself. Is the first idea usually the best? "Some ideas come quickly, even before you begin. Some take time. The basis of my evaluation has nothing to do with anyone else's perception. People tell you a job is terrific,you know it's lousy. Or they think it's lousy, and you don't...you can't use external judgement for determining your own quality. I'm fairly toughminded...have no illusions...can't get nervous anymore about jobs..:' When asked about what seems to be his many styles, Glaser explains "sometimes it's not so much a change of style as a change of medium.A change from hard pencil to soft is not a stylistic commitment. Even though your sense of form remains constant, the way you work just by changing the medium looks like a change of style. At any rate, the issue is not diversity or range, but quality." Glaser regards his teaching stint at the School of VisualArts..."fifteen years, every Wednesday night from 7 to 10, as the one fixed thing in my life. I really like teaching...don't regard it as a social obligation...in my self-interest to teach. The expenditure of time and energy is re-

warded...retained relationships with hundreds of students... many work on New York Magazine...reappear in my life in other ways..:' What are the prospects when the student becomes the graduate?"Opportunities are not increasing in the same geometric progression as the number of students looking for work...a tough way to make a living...only a handful of good places to work in...a difficult occupation, not any longer particularly rewarding financially...People have the idea they can make a lot of money as designers. Most of the time, they'll just make a decent living. If you have the passion, if you're toughminded and talented, you can invent a life for yourself' Glaser feels his will to succeed was forged by a parental combination of "a classically protective mother and a classically withholding father. What I got from my mother was that kind of support when I felt I could do what I wanted to do...from my father, I got the resistance of the world that had to be overcome, and I suppose from the point of view of accomplishment in life, it was a combination of these elements..:' Is imitation necessarily a measure of success?"The nature of imitation raises a complicated question: To some degree, if one is not imitated, one's work is not understood...You establish a scale of values. There are good examples and bad examples to imitate. Imitation defines the original, very often is better than the original.If the imitation is better, you're out of luck.In most cases, it's not better the original intensity isn't there. Most imitations absorb the skin of the work; they copy the surface; imitators are not integrated into someone's perception:' "In the applied arts so much is derivative...often difficult to establish where a single idea came from:'Glaser feels imitation and repetition are necessary to make the graphic language understandable. "If all work were truly innovative, it would be incomprehensible. It's the nature of this business to communicate...information depends on the clich to develop familiarity, coherence:' "The significant artists in history were imitated; schools developed around their work':..the artist "became culturally acceptable and had an effect:' Artists not imitated "remain idiosyncratic, isolated individuals whose work was removed from the perception of their audience:' Imitation is almost a necessary part of the communication process, Glaser says. However,"if the idea is easy enough to imitate, it diminishes in value to the person who created it. The ways I used to work are no longer accessible to me... have seen it repeated too often...accelerates loss of interest. I use up a form and move on:' Unlike a situation in another profession where one is bound by the convention of the moment, "our possibilities for changing direction are enormous. There's both a high-premium failure for innovation, and a lot of cultural encouragement for innovation.There's also the risk that innovation can get you into a position where work isn't saleable:'

How does a contempory artist function with the pressures of his profession? Milton and the talented Shirley Glaser (a Cooper Union classmate), revolve within a tight circle of friends, old and recent... "depends on how invested you are in your own history as to your capacity for new experiences:'With Milton's weekly schedule of teaching one night, working perhaps one or two nights, three-day yearly week-ends, when there's free time they'd "rather stay home than do anything else. It's hard to fit in on-going social contacts: -Their house in upper NewYork State"complements New York City life... a natural setting in the middle of a big hunk of undeveloped land...we cool out for a few days, leave the high-energy situation behind,We don't entertain in the country, don't answer the phone. It's hard to continue my kind of life in the city without getting the wires to cool:' "My own personality is such that I prefer to leave some stuff behind and move on to something else" sums up the integration of the designer and the man that his far-ranging interests exemplify. Fluent in Italian, Glaser lived for several years in Northern Italy, and there he feels most comfortable, has friends, responds to the culture, the spirit, the food. His art collection (sculpture, painting, drawing), shows "its largest bias for Eastern things Near, Far, Middle, Islamic, Japanese, Indian the only things worth talking about...some polychrome sculpture from Spain, Mexico, Italy. I've never been as attracted to primitive art as to the more refined cultures... would choose Egyptian over African:' Glaser is steeped philosophically in the Eastern credo. "I recognize that my mind doesn't have the capacity to understand most of what it experiences:' No assemblage of Milton Glaser can overlook his interest in foodcooking, eating, writing about. He prefers the Chinese cuisine in cooking; his eating choices are eclectic.As a writer, he is known for the collaboration he had with the late Jerome Snyder. Together, they undertook to report to New Yorkers on restaurants serving good food at low prices, in their weekly column"Underground Gourmet:' What does Glaser see from the windows of his own world?"I suppose I'd change some aspects of my life...might have shifted around the time spent on things... used time for other things. Basically, I wouldn't change the fundamental thrust of my life. It's turned out to be a remarkable surprise to me, and much better than I thought it was going to be:'

Rebelling as he has against convention, he consistently The first thing you notice about George Lois is that he's his own man, and is fond comes up with highly improbable, often outrageous, conceptions to put across of leaving places. In fact, he has just left the advertising agency which he founded his message.The Lois stamp is distinct and unmistakable. Think back on those and which bears his name to seek a exciting Esquire covers of not so long ago: brave new world.At an age (46) when Muhammed All with all those arrows most men's efforts tend to slacken off, George seems merely to be girding him- plunged deep into his chest; Hubert self for a new and even more productive Humphrey as a ventriloquist's dummy perched on Lyndon Johnson's knee; Andy stake in life.

Part of the right work was for it up and inside there were, oh, there were Chemstrand's leotards. George sketched a man's hand pushing against the snug about 100 of my drawings, I don't know, fanny of a girl in a leotard, and the which she'd saved.And she said 'I want you to take this nickel and go on the sub- headline read: "We're pushing leotards:' way and go to 137th street and go to the It turned out to be Chemstrand's most successful trade ad ever.

was bought. Yet,when he helped found PKL with Fred Papert and Julian Koenig, the company's success was meteoric almost from the beginning.The partners ran their agency like no other, never stiff, always volatile.Their top-secret formula: "If you look at your ad and want to throw up, chances are it's a lousy ad:' Nobody threw up when George came up with the line for Harvey Probber furniture:1f your Harvey Probber chair wobbles, straighten your floor." The work at PKL was a never-ending joy for Lois.He was involved with gifted people. Each ad was a thrilling challenge. It was sheer paradise, and nothing on earth could stop them. Nothing, that is, until the inevitable parting of the ways.The decision to let George get away has been regretted by Koenig and Papert ever since. Says Papert:"If we had only been smart enough to turn the agency over to George and let him run it, we would have lost our biggest clients,sure, but we would have kept the agency hot and profitable:' A shift in partners, but not in the creative process. Lois had teamed up earlier with Holland and Callaway on an ingenious idea for the Quaker Company's Aunt Jemima pancake product.They asked a few hundred housewives to pick out the pancake syrup they had used most recently from a list of the three top brands: Vermont Maid, Log Cabin, and Aunt Jemina. Even though there was no such animal, 25% of the women said they used Aunt Jemima Syrup. So the three hot shots zipped back to the Quaker people, said if they'd put out an Aunt Jemima syrup when one out of every four women thought she already bought it, the new product couldn't miss. Quaker was convinced, and Aunt Jemima Pancake Syrup was born. While the new company started picking up clients, George took on an additional project: the writing and compilation of a book, which turned out to be"the hardest thing I ever did in my life:'Titled The Art of Advertising: George Lois on Mass Communication, it is both a broad perception of life in America over the past 20 years and a primer for anyone who seeks to make communication arts a life's work. He wrote it because"I wanted to get people excited about the business:' Brilliantly realized, the book is an intimate look at one art director's maverick way of"communicating:' A new agency,a new book, and time for George to leave again this time to join Creamer/FSR as president."The best way to keep from dying," he says."is to keep working, keep kicking. I'm an emotional guy. I want to live forever. I want to continue doing my work without recriminations and being as prolific as I was when I was 25.0ne way of dying is slowing up. Some people adapt to it, fizz out when they're about my be damned if I'll do that. I'll go on kicking:' He is doing just that or, I should say, he is, like Eugene Gant, a man who has just put out from land to sea,yet does not say" the land is near," but turns his eyes upon the distant soaring shores.

Take one word away from New York and what have you got? An overcrowded city of man-made mountains, congested streets, and a voluminous supply of dog droppings. What's the word?Culture, naturally. Culture is what makes the world go round and New York City the international capital of Couth.There is probably more culture at hand in New York than in all the rest of the watering spots From Maine to Timbuktu.

You want to do the million-and-one things available virtually at your Fingertips, New York City is the place to satisfy your each and every whim.

And yet, our political (as is said) bigwigs- are Falling over themselves in their clumsy efforts to remove From the city the very thing that makes it the magnificent unique acreage that it is. Believe it or not, under their new and improved "economical plan,- the Public Library may actually be Forced to close its doors. New York is overdrawn at the bank and panic is the order of the day.

It is not at all unlike biting the hand that Feeds you or cutting off your nose to spite your face. Before its too late, a handful of interested people are trying to do something about it. For two years now Michaele Vollbracht has been underscoring his passionate love affair with New York through his photo-illustrations of New Yorkers famous (Garbo) and not-so-famous (Bendel's doorman)his "Birds of Paradise" (the city paradise inhabited by some of the rarest birds in captivity).These are the sweeping

INTRODUCING A NEINIALPHABET FROM ITC: "UGIZGROTESIC OUTLINE BOLD"

After careful deliberation on the subject matter of this typeface and the nature of its characters, we have unanimously agreed not to release said typeface to ITC subscribers to reproduce, manufacture, and offer for sale. "Ugly" (or "Ugh'ly"), is not quite their cup of tea. ITC, therefore - magnanimous as always -is hereby making these characters available, absolutely without

charge, to every and all imitators of ITC typefaces' in the fevered hope that they will so knock themselves out trying to copy "Ugly" that they won't have time to "borrow" the rest. All it takes is the simple written consent of creator John Caldwell of Schenectady, N.Y., and the typeface is up for grabs. As for the inspiration behind this masterful work, it would seem to us that Mr. Caldwell must necessarily

31
s s

have devoted a good deal of time cavorting with the denizens of New Yor__-'s colorful Bowery learning, at first hand, their particular warped foibles and desires. It appears that John no doubt quite adept now at wiping windshields for "coffee" handouts designed this alphabet in a state of euphoria i-cnown as a "high" while under the influence. Why anyone (fully dressed and in his right

mind) would want to ma=re the trip between Schenectady and New Yor to research such material is beyond conjecture. Obviously he did, however, and so we at ITC extend our hearty thans to John Caldwell for his selfless sacrifice on our behalf, far and away beyond the "call of duty." Definitely not licensed by ITC,"Ugly" Grotesh Outline Bold is nonetheless not just another pretty face.

THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF AMERICAN FRIII1 CRATE ART

Culture, like gold, is where you find it. And you find it in the most surprising places. Long before citrus fruit was packed in unimaginative cardboard boxes, orange and lemon and apple crates were the bases for a widespread vogue in multicolored lithographed packing labels. Some of the finest artists in the country were recruited to design trademarks for the variety of brands which fruit-growers shipped out into the world. From the turn of the century, fruit-growing in the United States produced an insatiable market fora dozen specialized lithograph houses as well as for a few block printers. And these were to serve this market for well over fifty years. The oldest labels, of course, were stone lithographs. For these, the color differences had to be applied by hand with eight or more print runs by no means unusual. Such hand-etched lithographs may be seen here in Avenue, Golden Sceptre, Albion, Sunflower, and Five Oaks. Later, with the invention of photolithographic techniques, the watercolors were, of course, reproduced photographically. As for the crates themselves, thousands upon thousands were converted, after initial delivery, into bookcases and the like (most especially during the Depression). When they could finally be replaced with real furniture, the crates were unceremoniously dumped out into the street where, happily for us, a young schoolboy named Gielijn Escher began to strip off the labels and collect them a hobby started in the 50s and continued, to our mutual benefit, to this very day. Shown here are a sampling from his vast collection which appear in his delightful book, The

Brand

Wonderful World of American Fruit-Crate Art.

ey WINAT(HEE. OKANOGAN COOPERATIVE fEDfRATION

Now in his thirties, Mr. Escher is the only full-time poster-designer in the Netherlands (certainly the foremost fruit-crate label collector!). The introduction of the preprinted cardboard box represented the real demise of the packinglabel era and an unfortunate loss for the lithography houses as well as for the rest of us. The labels, of course, originated from purely commercial ideas: neither the fruit companies, the printers, nor the artists had the remotest notion that their work would one day be shown in a museum or grace the pages of U&Ic. But, as always in the history of art, time has a way of righting things and here, in all their glory, are examples from the forgotten world of fruit-crate art. But careful now We may be giving away ideas. Next thing you know, some young artist will pick up a can of Campbell's Soup and try passing it

Our Ms. lady this issue was born in Australia and brought up in Brazil,where her first name is now a household word. She had her first drawing published at the age of nine and has been earning her living by drawing since she turned thirteen. It is the passion of her life, and her drawings have all the exuberance and flamboyance of a carnival in Rio. Humanity is her subject, and her picture of it pure satire. Even her sexiest girls reveal the bulging thighs and flaccid breasts of the cartoon figure. She has her set mannerisms - clawlike hands,pointed noses, and bizarre hats that also brush wings with the comic strip. But she cannot conceal her uncommon skill in composing spirited scenes and poking merciless fun. During a three-year hiatus in Australia from 1970 through 1973, she worked for television and began making animated films before returning to South America. She says she is a "cynic and romantic:' There is certainly a romantic hidden inside her, as in most satirists. But a cynic? No. Her quality is rather sheer mischievousness coupled with a good measure of sparkling gaiety.

In 1490, Caxton complained that when one said egges, after the fashion of London, he was likely to be misunderstood by one who used the Northern eyrena misunderstanding quickly leading to mutual confusion. This occurs equally, or even more so, in the language of today. For instance, the title above. When asked by his young son, "What's a rabbit, daddy?" father promptly replied: "A rabbit is a small long-eared mammal of the hare family, Leporidae; technically one of the lagomorphs, it differs from ordinary hares in its burrowing habits and in producing naked young." The look on the boy's face mirrored his obvious disbelief. `Squaresville," he said. "A Rabbit is the mainstay of the Volkswagen line, hopping about on just a nibble of gas and featuring a 2-liter AFC fuel-injection system, overhead cam engine, fully synchronized transaxle drive, unitized body chassis, torsion rear suspension, dual-circuit disc brakes, 4-speed transmission, integral roll bar, 12-volt 55-amp electrical system, longlife radial tires, and a highly rapid turnover on the reproduction line." Clearly, a misunderstanding leading to mutual confusion and a further widening of the generation gap. And this is only a single instance. At the very time when the evolution of English grammatical forms grinds to a slower pace, the tempo of vocabulary distortion begins to quicken in a throbbing powerful rhythm, the speeding up of which through the last two decades is one of the most astounding language phenomena this country has ever seen. Words, new words, begin to pour into the language at the same time that old words are changed and perverted into new meanings. To back up this unique and clever insight, we present herein a cornpila-

tion of definitions from the "new vocabulary." They were taken from the test results of English classes at the fifth-grade level in a broad-spectrum sample from P.S. 59, Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania; P.S. 44, Drovers Grove, Illinois; and P.S. 1, Wahpeton, North Dakota; P.S. 10, Bakers Ferry, Ohio; P.S. 18, Yazoo City, Mississippi; and the Jimmy Hoffa Correctional School at Elmira, New Yorkproviding a true cross-section of the understanding nationwide of this vocabulary, based on ethnic, religious, and demographic backgrounds. The poll, taken by the National Education Foundation, showed, for instance, that a mere 7 percent of the student body at P.S. 4, Dry River, Arizona, correctly identified hornet as a flying insect, a wasp, while only a record low 3.8 percent at P.S. 7, Buffalo Falls, Montana, identified cougar as a mountain lion. Jespersen and A. A. Kudner, who have devoted considerable attention to the question, represent the anomaly as an algebraic formula, comparing the arrangement axyz+bxyz+Q cxyz of Latin with the (a+b+c) xyz of English. It is clear from this that the

consequences of such arrangement could be generally offset by a return to initial definition over the present glossolalia (in Chattahoochee, Florida, the percentages were even lower). The NEF test question was simply put: "Define each of the following terms." Here are some of the answers culled at random from the student papers.

The longest name of any city or town in the world belongs to this Welsh city. Compare that to the French village of Y, or the Norwegian town A! And don't ask us to pronounce any of them.

A very common errorespecially in headlinesis the improper use of this word as if it were plural: EXEC WINS MANY KUDOS. But kudos (from the Greek kydos) is, alas, quite singular. If you want to say that a man received many honors, you must say that he has many kudosesan objectionable usage if we ever saw one. There are many ways out of the dilemma posed by kudosesthe simplest way around it merely being to substitute the word with such as fame," Yory," or 'honor" The best way, of course, is even simpler: avoid it altogether.

A Hairy Situation, It was, of course, the hippies who started the current fad of long hair, beard, whiskers, and sideburns more properlycalled`burnsides:afterthe Confederate general who sported this particular brand of foliage. The hippies, and their forerunners the beats, who rebelled against the foppery of fancy duds and the time-wastefulness of trimming away the indicia of manliness, can be said to have become a social force around the time Jack Kerouac wrote On The Road in 1957. The hippy paean struck its high note with the stage presentation of Hair, which celebrated the most visible aspect of hippiness. Yet it is now being bruited about (despite the staunch protestations of our intrepid design and editorial director) that the beard has reached the zenith of its present vogue and may well be on the way out or off. Indeed, love for the beard has been very fickle. During the first part of the century, after a previous century of virtual frenzy in hirsute adornment between 1910 and 1960 facial foliage in the United States was indeed a rarity. Easy come, easy go.

Design for living. Was a time when designers were not the passive, fun-loving sort so prevalent today. In earlier times, in China, when jewelry boxes were designed, the requirements included equipping the boxes with devices that would kill anyone stone dead who attempted to open them without knowing the secret. One such case, sold recently at auction in New York, stood 14 inches high by 20 inches wide and 10 inches deep. It had a bottom lock for the box, and a top lock for the insidious mechanism. If the top lock was open when the case was opened, the four doors instantly flew open, a pistol sprang into position behind each door, and all four guns fired automatically. Damned clever these Chinese designers'

At least once a year our design director has a lousy day. Everything goes wrong. Everything. His own work included. Disastrous design, atrocious art direction, ignominious illustration, tormented typography, fatuous photography and, among other things, catastrophic copy. Recently, on just such a day, he gave vent to his frustrations by scribbling typographic doodles which are reproduced here in finished form. The state of the graphic arts is, herewith, severely chastised.
Note: The opinions of our design director are his own and do not, necessarily, reflect the attitudes of the management.

Bootlegger. The term originated on the Indian reservations of the Old West. Since it was unlawful to sell alcoholic spirits to the redmen, ingenious peddlers often carried flasks of firewater in their boots to conceal them from government agents. Something like the schemes dreamed up for tax evasion today.

originally mean 'smart, stylish, in, becoming,' as it is generally accepted to mean today. Originally, it meant 'lucky find.' French women, shopping for wearing apparel in the boutiques of Paris and finding items that were just the right size and style and color for them, would often exclaim "How chic!" meaning "What a lucky find!" They usually did this in front of a mirror, of course, trying on the stuff, and British and American women shoppers seeing and hearing this happen over and over again mistakenly assumed that it meant 'smart, correct, becoming.' The British and American women shoppers proceeded to use the word therlaselves. So well did they succeed in promoting and popularizing this mistaken usage, that chic eventually came to mean just that even in France.

It was hot in the summer of 1937. And walking up and down a sweltering Michigan Avenue was not exactly Fred Ryder's idea of what he'd like to be doing. But when some production manager finally consented to hear this upstart typesetter's story, Fred was ready. He'd pull a little piece of paper out of his Palm Beach suit and start talking. Back then, most advertising typography was hand set. Although linotype was being used for newspaper and publishing work, it just wasn't considered classy enough for advertising work. That production man Fred was talking to would swear that people could see the difference between hand set type and linotype. Fred would hand him the piece of paper and ask him how the type on it had been set. "This was hand set" was the inevitable answer. Well, what Fred had done was to set alternating lines by hand and with a linotype machine. The first was linotype, the second was hand set, the third was linotype, etc. And no one could tell the difference. The linotype lines had all the finesse and cleanliness of the hand set lines. Only a type craftsman could have pulled that off. As a result, the fledgling Frederic Ryder Company got some business.

Fred pinned the hopes of his new company on the single linotype machine that he'd been able to afford and the little piece of paper that was slowly getting dog-eared in his pocket. Fred believed linotype should be a valuable tool for advertising typography. It was less expensive and it was faster (they had unreasonable deadlines even in 1937). But linotype was good only if it looked as good and had the craftsmanship of hand set type. Today, Fred Ryder has been retired for almost twenty years. And today, only a small percentage of the work we do is done on a linotype machine. Most is done on phototypesetting equipment that would have taxed the imagination of even an avid Buck Rogers fan like Fred Ryder. We think that Fred is probably amazed when he hears that entire ads, not just type, are assembled at the company in a matter of hours. We think that Fred's eyebrows probably shoot up a bit when he hears that we have 2500 more typefaces at our disposal now than he had in his specimen book in 1937. And, we think that Fred is probably proud that, even after 40 years, his fierce sense of craftsmanship hasn't been forgotten. But then how could we forget the standards of someone who would pin all the hopes of a new company on a rumpled piece of paper?

The Comp/Set Concept

Faster than the traditional way of getting type.
If your company owned a Comp/Set phototypesetter, you'd take an ad like this one from copy to first type proof in less than an hour. Corrections, if any, in minutes after that.

More control than you'd ever imagine.

With a Comp/Set phototypesetter, you'd talk face-to-face with the operator. You could tell him about that special letterfit you want. You could even draw him a picture. And he could do it while you wait.

From traditional styles to the very latest, in a remarkable range of sizes.

A Comp/Set phototypesetter gives you up to 70 on-line sizes from 51/2 to 74 point. In any of hundreds of available faces. On durable, inexpensive type discs.

Affordable, easy, and reliable.

A Comp/Set phototypesetter can prove to the most skeptical that in-house phototypesetting has indeed become practical and inexpensive. And we train your operators in just a few days, to do fast, amazingly high quality work. Comp/Set phototypesetters are also performance-proved, and backed by a nationwide service network.

Like a house your, fingertips.

You can set type lf Even if A Comp/Set phototypesetter is not much more yourself. difficult to use than a modern electric typewriter. It you're all thumbs. requires a knowledgeable operator for it to perform

But it really all adds up to profit, something that's getting tougher and tougher to make. And your typist is the key. She and under $10,000 can be your new profit center. But do you know something?

The Monarchy, the oldest secular institution in the United Kingdom, goes back to the ninth century. Queen Elizabeth II can trace her descent from King Egbert who united England under his sovereignty in 829. The title to the crown derives in part from statute and in part from the common law rules of descent.The union between England and Scotland (1707), Ireland (1801), and the establishment of the Commonwealth: Australia,The Bahamas, Barbados, Canada, Fiji, Grenada, Jamaica, Mauritius, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Trinidad and Tobago have led to the inclusion of several more titles under the crown.

King GeorgeV, grandson of QueenVictoria, gave members of the Royal Family the name of Windsor in 1917.

1977 marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the accession of

Della Robbia

Or how to Della Robbia from a Cleland

homas Maitland Cleland was born in Brooklyn in the August of 1880. At fifteen he left the New York public school system for the Artist Artisan Institute. He once saw a fellow student painstakingly inking ornamental drawing and became so interested, he spent many subsequent years developing his skills at this particular art form. Within his first year he had some of his designs published. He studied the illustrations of William Morris and Aubrey Beardsley and so admired Will Bradley's work at the Wayside Press, Massachusetts, that he worked hard to become as good at the craft as Bradley. Cleland also became interested in Medieval legendry and illustrated manuscripts, which were to influence his ornamental work and illustration for some time. He learnt to set type and operate small presses and was later to design, illustrate, illuminate, typeset and print entire projects in order to produce them with the consistent quality he felt they deserved. On a visit to Italy one year he became interested in the Italian Renaissance and when he returned to the United States to draw a typeface for the old Bruce Type Foundry later part of the American Type Founders Company he based the alphabet on letters he had seen on the Della Robbia sculptures. He named it Della Robbia. This article is set in Della Robbia and Della Robbia Bold on the VIP using the Advanced Typography Program with kerning and set Track 1, normal.

Clear, no nonsense headlines are the strength of this bold condensed face. A good alternative to the Futuras. This light, elegant Roman has a very large X-height with short, wedge serifs that make it ideal for display setting.

With its roots in 1900's woodcuts, Pamela's initialing caps do extra duty as pure graphic designs. The lower case has a soft appeal about it. A heavy display Roman with some unusual characters that neatly fit with its soft, semi-loose feeling. Exclusive with Letraset. Watch out for an up-date in the stencil look. This one has built a following for headlines and publication design.

The Latin look gets a going over from the Letraset studio compact serifs, tight settings and lots of alternates.

Its antique flavor and distinctive lower case treatment adds individuality in editorial and sales promotion work. A flashy style exclusive with Letraset. It's a good combination of sans serif letters with a neon treatment. Try it.

Letraset has redrawn this style, standardizing heights and weights. The result is better color in settings with no loss of its antique character. This I.T.C. version of the classic Roman adds more choice when you look for contemporary feeling with some freshness.

To become part of Zipatone's exclusive lettering line, a style must be legible, functional and versatile. Legible means that it can be read wherever it is used. Functional means it has an intended purpose. Versatile --that its creative use extends beyond that intention. When these prerequisites are filled, then it must be original. This is the Zipatone difference. We have placed our name on these type styles --with pride. Your continued patronage over the years is a testimonial to our quality. We strive to keep that trust.

Hung Punctuation

When setting type with flush margins, the hanging of marks of punctuation, ie, commas, periods, hyphens, etc., can very often improve the visual appearance of the flush verticals. Since marks of punctuation are not full sized characters the white space that they do not fill up often leaves open gaps of uneven color. By hanging them into the margins they become less conspicuous and can improve the flush appearance. Whether or not punctuation should be hung is a matter of personal taste and preference. Some graphic designers and art directors feel that the optical appearance of text is more even in color when punctuation is hung in the margins. Hanging punctuation may however, occasionally, very slightly loosen the letterspacing of the line...often unnoticeably. Some typesetting machines are capable of setting selected punctuation marks and characters in the left or right margins, or both, by means of keyboard instructions or type refinement programs that can be programmed to work automatically or be bypassed.

Hung Punctuation Hung punctuation is a visual subtlety which, when done consistently and in concert with other refinements, adds to the overall effect. The result is typography that is at once more attractive, more readable, and more conserving of space.

Minus and Reverse Leading

Minus leading today has two meanings and two areas of significance to a graphic designer or job planner. It can mean simply the ability to set a typeface less than solid... a 9 point letter on an 8 point, or baseline to baseline, body. This article is set in 9 point ITC Newtext, minus 1 point leading. Minus leading conserves space. This can be especially important when setting lists, indexes, directories, or classified ads, for example, where one wants to get as many lines into a vertical area as possible. Obviously, minus leading must be used with discretion as not every face reads well when so treated. Some of the newer typesetting machines are capable of minus leading not only a few points, but as much as an inch or even many inches.This is known as reverse leading. Such reverse leading capabilities open up new horizons for the graphic designer. For example, minus, or reverse, leading can also extend a typesetter's capability when setting tabular material or multilevel math. Machines that can back up the full length of a column or page gain the facility for multi-column or . even full-page makeup. Such formatting may be keyboard activated Or imbedded in codes, as in magnetic tape programs, that can command the machine to output in a predetermined format rather than in galley form. This ability will be increasingly important in the very near future on the lower cost machines. It is already possible in many newspaper installations. Present equipment capabilities for minus leading vary from none to up to 11': Some machines can back up to 24 or 36 points, usually in one (1) point increments, some can reverse lead to 72 points in i point increments; some can reverse lead up to 11'.' Whether you are considering purchasing a machine or working through a typographic service, you should know what the systems available to you can and cannot do in this regard.

A ITC Newtext
ITC Newtext is a new type family especially suited to minus leading. It was designed with high readability in small sizes and good copyfitting characteristics in mind. ITC Newtext is an unusual approach to such problems as directories' indexes, catalogs, classified ads, and the like in that it is an expanded rather than a condensed face. But its open characters facilitate its use in small sizes and it takes minus leading very well.

B ITC Newtext
ITC Newtext is a new type family especially suited to minus leading. It was designed with high readability in small sizes and good copyfitting characteristics in mind. ITC Newtext is an unusual approach to such problems as directories' indexes, catalogs. classified ads, and the like in that it is an expanded rather than a condensed face. But its open characters facilitate its use in small sizes and it takes minus leading very well.

In fact, it can be used with any typesetting system that has a measurable alphabet. It works for MINUS settings, regardless of the unit values employed by any machine. NO BOOKS, NO CHARTS, NO FORMULAS ...THE COPY FITTER employs familiar copy fitting techniques. Each COPY FITTER comes in an easy-tounderstand instruction folder.
