Book excerpt: Hay que seguir el contenido de este libro como una conversación «en torno a la tipografía», una noche, entre amigos, junto a la chimenea. De ahí el título. Adrian Frutiger se dirige principalmente a los estudiantes de Artes Gráficas, a los profesionales, así como a cualquier otra persona apasionada por la tipografía. Repasa algunos temas básicos que hay que conocer, como el origen de la escritura y su evolución, la aparición de los caracteres tipográficos y su evolución formal, influida por la de las técnicas de impresión; y el proceso de lectura, los criterios de legibilidad y las diferentes maneras de leer; o las reglas que hay que seguir para crear una familia de letras. Da un repaso también a las grandes familias de tipos y presenta algunos de los que él ha creado, con objeto de explicar, concretamente, lo que han aportado a la tipografía y extraer de ello sus enseñanzas. Aborda, así, la epopeya de la Univers (el desarrollo de sus veintiuna series previsto desde la concepción misma, algo nunca visto en la historia de la imprenta), el Roissy (para la señalización del aeropuerto de Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle, carácter que más tarde se convertiría en el Frutiger), el OCR-B (carácter de reconocimiento óptico para ordenadores que pasó a ser un estándar internacional [1972] en el ámbito bancario) y, por último, la adaptación a las técnicas contemporáneas de composición y reproducción de un tipo de letra no latino, perteneciente a una cultura totalmente distinta de la nuestra; el Devanagari (procedente del sánscrito), que constituye la escritura oficial de la India. Para acabar este recorrido, el autor habla sucintamente de la creación de logotipos.

Book excerpt: 'Una tipografía debe estar diseñada de tal manera que nadie repare en ella.' Tras la aparente simplicidad de esta afirmación de Adrian Frutiger se esconden varios decenios dedicados al diseño de tipografías y al estudio de la forma en que los seres humanos interactúan con ellas. Frutiger se niega a concebir la tipografía como un fin en sí mismo, apuesta por subordinar el diseño a su finalidad práctica de servicio a las personas y defiende que el máximo logro al que puede aspirar el diseñador de tipos es que su tipografía pase desapercibida en su lectura. La tipografía debe estar adaptada a su contexto: 'Las líneas grises de la página de un libro se leen de distinta manera que las letras de una señalización. Hay una enorme diferencia entre leer tranquilamente sentado en el sillón y esperar estresado a embarcar en un avión. En cualquiera de estas situaciones el lector debe sentirse cómodo. Desde ese convencimiento Frutiger exhorta a los jóvenes diseñadores a no dejarse guiar sólo por la creatividad o las modas, sino también por las circunstancias, es decir, por la finalidad de la tipografía y por el entorno en que ésta ha de figurar. La larga experiencia de Adrian Frutiger se convierte en estas páginas en un material de incalculable valor tanto para los diseñadores como para los profanos que se acercan con curiosidad a este tema.

Book excerpt: En esta segunda entrega de Cuadernos tipográficos se generan cuatro ejes discursivos: "Letras y contexto", "Forma, diseño y representación", "Enseñanza en tipografía" y "Tipografía y usos". Los textos que se presentan en esta compilación reflexionan sobre los procesos de constitución de la cultura gráfica en contextos latinoamericanos diversos. Son discursos que parten de la experiencia y la investigación en torno a la letra y las complejas relaciones, muchas veces invisibles, que se conectan textualmente y se constituyen en potente elemento cultural. Voces y experiencias de Argentina, México, Brasil y Colombia aportan a la consolidación de un pensamiento en torno al patrimonio gráfico y la cultura material de lo impreso.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El presente trabajo intenta aproximarse a la tipografía en forma clara y sencilla, desde un lenguaje sin pretensiones, fortaleciendo el vínculo entre la letra, su entorno y el lector, quien descubrirá entre estas páginas parte del saber y funcionamiento tipográfico. Las metodologías que hacen a los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje en tipografía juegan un rol importante. El objetivo es presentar y analizar ciertas consideraciones básicas y significativas en torno a la tipografía, a través de un relato práctico y coloquial, que no intenta ser un análisis histórico ni un manual tipográfico. Algunos de los ejemplos que ilustran los temas actúan como simples referencias a lo complejo de cada caso. Desde la tipografía muchos son los caminos y las respuestas que se pueden elaborar ante cada requerimiento, pero cada etapa debe sustentarse en el verdadero y profundo conocimiento del universo tipográfico. Y es aquí donde este libro se propone trabajar, desde otra mirada, para ampliar la información, como intrínseca necesidad a los efectos del saber.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Successful interaction with products, tools and technologies depends on usable designs, accommodating the needs of potential users and does not require costly training. In this context, this book is concerned about emerging concepts, theories and applications of human factors knowledge focusing on the discovery and understanding of human interaction with products and systems for their improvement. The book is organized into four sections that focus on the following subject matters: • Usability Methods and Tools • Theoretical Issues in Usability • Usability in Web Environment • Miscellaneous In the section Usability Methods and Tools, studies related with new and improved methods and tools for the advancement in the efficiency of the usability studies is reported. In this context, this book provides studies, which cover everything from checklists and heuristics development to kaizen and biometrics measurement techniques. Also, the use of tools, like eye tracker, virtual reality and augmented reality is discussed. The section Theoretical Issues in Usability concentrates on theorical approaches of usability that allow justifying the impact of usability in our lives. Review studies about the importance of usability and connections between ergonomics and virtual reality were reported. General approaches raised the concepts of modeling and simulation to explain changes in human performance and accidents. The section Usability in Web Environment concentrates on studies associated with the use of the Internet environment and mainly discusses the development of new services and creates social communities. The section Miscellaneous shows various studies that focus on aesthetic, affective and emotional design, corporate and inclusive design.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Nineteenth-Century a major revival in religious pilgrimage took place across Europe. This phenomenon was largely started by the rediscovery of several holy burial places such as Assisi, Milano, Venice, Rome and Santiago de Compostela, and subsequently developed into the formation of new holy sites that could be visited and interacted with in a wholly Modern way. This uniquely wide-ranging collection sets out the historic context of the formation of contemporary European pilgrimage in order to better understand its role in religious expression today. Looking at both Western Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Europe, an international panel of contributors analyse the revival of some major Christian shrines, cults and pilgrimages that happened after the rediscovery of ancient holy burial sites or the constitution of new shrines in locations claiming apparitions of the Virgin Mary. They also shed new light on the origin and development of new sanctuaries and pilgrimages in France and the Holy Land during the Nineteenth Century, which led to fresh ways of understanding the pilgrimage experience and had a profound effect on religion across Europe. This collection offers a renewed overview of the development of Modern European pilgrimage that used intensively the new techniques of organisation and travel implemented in the Nineteenth-Century. As such, it will appeal to scholars of Religious Studies, Pilgrimage and Religious History as well as Anthropology, Art, Cultural Studies, and Sociology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After it emerged as a market commodity in the 18th century, coffee was easily adapted to cultivation in the highlands of Central America. Guatemala in particular has relied on coffee cultivation as a part of its economic identity: it has been a premier export crop for over 300 years. The importance of coffee to the country lies in the large labour investment in each stage of production. The book covers agricultural, social, and cultural aspects of coffee culture in Guatemala in old photographs, charts, tables and maps. Wagner's work shows how Guatemala has met the economic complexity to which this product is subject, and why coffee remains the solid foundation crop of the country today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Violence in Central America, especially when directed against Indian populations, is not a new phenomenon. Yet few studies of the region have focused specifi cally on the relationship between Indians and the state, a relationship that may hold the key to understanding these conflicts. In this volume, noted historians and anthropologists pool their considerable expertise to analyze the situation in Guatemala, working from the premise that the Indian/state relationship is the single most important determinant of Guatemala's distinctive history and social order. In chapters by such respected scholars as Robert Cormack, Ralph Lee Woodward, Christopher Lutz, Richard Adams, and Arturo Arias, the history of Indian activism in Guatemala unfolds. The authors reveal that the insistence of Guatemalan Indians on maintaining their distinctive cultural practices and traditions in the face of state attempts to eradicate them appears to have fostered the development of an increasingly oppressive state. This historical insight into the forces that shaped modern Guatemala provides a context for understanding the extraordinary level of violence that enveloped the Indians of the western highlands in the 1980s, the continued massive assault on traditional religious and secular culture, the movement from a militarized state to a militarized civil society, and the major transformations taking place in Guatemala's traditional export-oriented economy. In this sense, Guatemalan Indians and the State, 1540 to 1988 provides a revisionist social history of Guatemala.
