This volume reflects the developments in the rapidly-changing field of typography for computer interface design. Presented as a series of integrated case studies and interviews, the book covers: the skills needed for quality website design; the impact of computers upon publishing and coroprate design; the use of computers within the educational field; the progress of child-orientated typefaces; and issues in screen layout when designing educational and training software.
Rosemary Sassoon is an expert in handwriting, with a particular emphasis on that of children. She is the author of a number of books on handwriting and is also the creator of the Sassoon series of typefaces.
