ForewordForeword is a weblog community in the service of book design, books, art, photography, and design. Sponsored by ospreydesign.56 Steves- March 21, 2006 Kuo Design has put together an online collection of every magazine and periodicial cover (that they&8217;re aware of, that is) starring Steve Jobs: Interestingly, there&8217;s an index page where you can see all of the covers in thumbnail &8212; and most of them stand out for being unremarkable. When you have a few minutes to go down Mac memory lane, check it out. Many of the articles are online, and the graphic design of all those covers together is worth a moment&8217;s stare by itself....http://www.ospreydesign.com/foreword/archives/001908.html Font Explorer X, again- March 20, 2006 The Mac Observer notes: Linotype updated its font management application, FontExplorer X, to version 1.0.1 on Friday.

Especially the intersection of photography and book covers. Here&8217;s one I&8217;d love to use on a cover: From the always-wonderful heavenuphere, shooting at an architecture exhibit in Rotterdam. She&8217;s also a librarian, and I covet her garden, too. Multitalented!http://www.ospreydesign.com/foreword/archives/001906.html VM Poster Update- March 17, 2006 The Vagina Monologues poster was well received but a little risqu, mulled over, booted upstairs, debated by committee, approved, printed, and posted around campus. &8230;And immediately caused a ruckus. After less than a day of public display on this small Baptist campus, they&8217;re a topic of conversation amongst students and administration. Rumors have begun to swirl of a genuine buzz regarding the poster and the play. Heheh. The sweet sound of success.http://www.ospreydesign.com/foreword/archives/001904.html Foreword: Three Years of Book Design Blogging- March 17, 2006 Many, many moons ago, it seems now, Amanda and I starting putting HTML &8220;blog&8221; posts regarding books and book design up on the ospreydesign.com site. By the end of 2002, we&8217;d decided that we wanted to do it often, if not daily, as a way to expand our knowledge of book design and set me up for leaving Tropicana and go back to doing freelance design &8212; and try to do book design &8212; full-time.
