Page layout

Summary

In graphic design, page layout is the arrangement of visual elements on a page. It generally involves organizational principles of composition to achieve specific communication objectives. The high-level page layout involves deciding on the overall arrangement of text and images, and possibly on the size or shape of the medium. It requires intelligence, sentience, and creativity, and is informed by culture, psychology, and what the document authors and editors wish to communicate and emphasize. Low-level pagination and typesetting are more mechanical processes. Given certain parameters such as boundaries of text areas, the typeface, and font size, justification preference can be done in a straightforward way. Until desktop publishing became dominant, these processes were still done by people, but in modern publishing, they are almost always automated. The result might be published as-is (as for a residential phone book interior) or might be tweaked by a graphic designer (as for

Film Morphology Effect on VOC Sensor Performance Fabricated by Drop-On-Demand Inkjet-Printing

Jürgen Brugger, Mohammadmahdi Kiaee, Thomas Maeder

This paper presents a sensor for detecting volatile organic compounds with an inkjet-printed composite. The sensing material is composed of polystyrene (35 kg/mol molecular weight) and a high structure carbon black, Ketjenblack EC-600JD. We used a dual-solvent system for ink formulation and compared its print morphology, and sensing performance with a single-solvent system. The dual solvent system improved droplet formation and minimized coffee ring formation. The sensor response to acetone and ethanol was studied. We observed a 2-fold improved sensitivity due to the absence of the coffee ring effect, which is presumably linked to more uniformity of the surface and fewer variations in the film thickness. Moreover, a superior sensor response/recovery time was obtained by using a dedicated print strategy, e.g., inter-droplet spacing and print pattern layout.

Visual and Technical Aspects of Type gives an introduction to the rules of font design and describes how fonts and their metrics are managed by computers. It is the first book that contains contributions from both type creators and computer scientists. The aim is to provide insights into the production and rendering of digital type and to make traditional type design rules accessible to a wider audience. The first part contains an overview of the evolution of letterforms in their historical and cultural context. The second part is devoted to technical aspects of type; topics covered include character metrics, outline font rasterization techniques, and algorithms for various tasks. Finally, articles by Hans Meier and Fernand Baudin provide an interesting view of the progress of typefaces and page layout, and insight into future developments. This unique book will appeal to graphics designers, computer scientists, typographers and desktop publishers who wish to know more about computer typography.
