*APRIL FOOLS!!!* We are still on for Patrick Ladd's Typography talk this Wednesday April 3rd at 6 PM at Rockefeller Hall 200 in the Vassar College campus. Hope to see everyone there.
-- Matthias A. Johnson Typography: Physical Art to Digital Art Wednesday, April 3rd at 6 pm<http://mhvlug.org/meetings/2013/typography-physical-art-to-digital-art> Explore the transformation of printing and typography from a distinctly physical art form to a modern digital artform. Did you know that upper case and lower case are physical locations? Learn the parts of a letter, and what points, tracking, leading, baselines and kerning are all about. With that foundation we will explore the transformation of type onto digital media, including a discussion of fonts, formats and tools for type design. Patrick Ladd is currently the IT Manager at Bottini Fuel. After hours he's an active Squidwrench member. He became more interested in typography last year when he acquired his grandfather's letterpress printing shop from a basement in Chicago and is in the process of restoring it to operating condition.
