Week 8: Chapter 7: The Evolution of Typographic Technology

The first statement in this chapter was huge: “The invention of typography has been called the beginning of the Industrial Revolution.” Letters and words on paper has evolved over thousands of years. When machine composition came into existence, it relieved the labor-intensive requirement of hand composition. The invention of the Linotype machine in 1886 offered a line of text printed. The Teletypesetter was invented in 1928, which made this more efficient. The display phototypesetting machines offered letters, numbers, and characters projected onto photo paper. This reminds me of the early stages of photo creation. Digital typesetting is the most advanced and used pixels, which is what I focused on in my zine.

This week my zine has come together nicely! I have a lot more confidence in what I am doing and got a lot of great feedback from my classmates. I have already put a lot of hours into this project and it shows, but the real win for me is that I feel really good about it now. I ran into some issues when I was drawing the pixelated characters. Mainly with opacity and making sure each pixel was colored. Another issue I’m running into right now is my grids. They are not how I want them to be, but that is a fairly simple problem to have and I can fix it. I am really happy with my zines so far and I am excited to see how it will evolve over the next few weeks!

Name That Company

I trace my roots back to 1906, when my namesake and his partners bought half of a newspaper in Elmira, New York. Another newspaper was soon bought, and then I kept growing. I embraced technology, investing in teletypesetters, using shortwave radios for early news reporting and preparing for color printing back in 1938.
