Digital Type Design for Branding: Creating Letters from Sourceby Stephen Boss from Chapman & Hall adopts an approach that will be a visual aid (illustrated) and written reference to young designers who are either launching their careers or taking their first stab at designing letterforms for a logo, lettermark, signage, advertising, or an alphabet. The book will focus on the roots of each letterform and give the designers the knowledge of why weight variations (stress) exist and how to correctly apply them to their designs.

A how-to resource for designers to reference while designing letterforms

The designer will be left with a clear understanding of why letterforms look the way they do, and the method and order of letterform development, enabling the designer to draw on history when developing their glyphs

How-to illustrations will highlight the process and downloadable vectors will give the designer templates to begin their project

This book gives designers a solid footing when designing a series of characters without developing a complete alphabet

Custom typography is a growing trend and every newly minted designer should have a practical knowledge of the origins of letters and the method of building letterforms

Stephen Boss began making letterforms as a child, using pencils, brushes and calligraphy pens; next, a mouse and Bezier points; and now a mixture of media when designing new fonts. While studying at the Center for Creative Studies, Detroit, in the days of handrendering type, Stephen was fortunate to have Richard Isbell as his type instructor.

Interested in developing typefaces with a unique vernacular, Stephen started Emboss Fonts in 1995. He has consulted on type designproject for Fairchild, JP Morgan Chase, Bumble & Bunble, and Osh Kosh. He has also worked on more traditional design projects forthe UN, Pfizer, Verizon, Walt Disney, Bank of America, and many more.

His work has been internationally recognized in juried shows, and featured in such publications as Japan's Timing Zero, PublishMagazine, and mass HiTech. He recently co-authored the book The New Web Typography by CRC Press/Chapman & Hall.

[Yes] This mixer comes at a great price, but really gets the job done. My stereo guy hooked up CD player and iPod dock through it. It makes it much easier for my fitness instructors to have everything controlled from one source. It also looks great with the rest of my system. 5

[Stephen Boss] MIxer performed as well as described. Great mixer for the price. Priority ducking is a huge feature to have at this price level. Highly Recommend it. Installed at a Swim Club and client is very happy. 5

[Stephen Boss] Pop it in the gel frame holder at the front of the light. You'll still be able to use a gel frame in the space behind or in front, or a top hat in front of it (the donut and top hat together really clear up the image), though you can't have all three at once - there's only two slots in the mini's frame holder. 5

[Stephen Boss] Used in a 60'x40' hall with 15' ceilings. It is easy to explain to non-technical people. We are using the auxiliary, master volume control. 5
