I don’t know how to use one. ;(
Yuppers
I remember using one of those way back when. If fact I had two, one made from a bamboo and the other made from aluminum.
We doing MUSIC this friday?
I briefly learned some simple tasks and forgot them pretty quickly.
Well, sure we can, per chance did you check your stats for number of hits? That way we can tell if it’s worth while or not. You loaded and played a huge number of tunes, and the views for The Lair at FR were huge. Sooooo... someone was either just looking or playing tunes. I don’t know which.
We can ask the Lair residents which they prefer, music or no music.
I know the regulars here seem to enjoy our endeavors. ;0)
In graphics we had to learn to use the large triangles, ellipses, and the French curve.
Then for Typography class there was another tool we had to buy and use by hand. I really enjoyed Typography class. Lots of stuff to learn in that one regarding guiding the readers eye -the do and do not rules. Line spacing and kerning, runarounds, etc.
Well, ok....but I know they don’t like me....
Oh poo!
FReepmail.
Where??
Now you have it.
Back at ya!
You might need those for something but typography is completely different now than when we worked in the business.
I actually have some lead type. Not too many people have seen that in person.
You gots FReepmail....
Made it to Kuwait this evening.
A few days here and then headed to home, sweet home.
I hope the Sadr problem is solved while I'm home. We've all had enough of playing "Dodge-Rocket." ;-)
HOME for two to three months!
Our instructor had lead type, and some lead rules. I love looking at old books - one can see where the lead type struck the paper.
The instructor, worked as a type setter using a Linotype machine. They are still in use today, but as you said, type setting is done on differently today.
There may be many things I don’t know about as it has been many years that I have kept up with new methods.
