Page Design
Advanced imaging includes not only the mechanical side of printing,
but also the elements of page design. Your Accel-a-Writer 8200
with true Adobe PostScript takes care of most of the mechanical
side, allowing you such freedom as scaling, rotating, and filling text
and graphics. However, a basic understanding of terms and elements
of page design can help you add finishing touches for a truly
professional image.
The rest of this chapter deals with some of the language and
elements used in desktop publishing page design.
Typefaces and Fonts
Two very important terms to understand are typefaces and fonts.
These terms often are used interchangeably which can lead to
confusion sometimes. A font is actually a subdivision of a typeface.
Typeface refers to the style of printing type, not the size. The style
includes design elements such as spacing, stroke, and weight which
are covered later in this chapter.
A font is one size of a typeface and includes all the available
characters of that typeface.
