Ah, how I miss Annual Reports. This was for a while some of the best creative design and printing to be found. Alas, many companies are shying away from spending the money the used to on these gems.

I still want to take a day off and field trip to your place o' work fun.

I used to LOVE fonts and spent a lot of time choosing my fonts for the publications I created very carefully. I have great admiration for well placed and well used fonts.

Then came message boards....and sig lines. Sigh.

I started doing desktop publishing using Aldus Pagemaker 2.0. And fell in love with the ability to use different fonts (up until then I was only familiar with machines running DOS).

Quick: What font did the Obama campaign use for its primary signage?

Spoiler:

It's just too damn bad they want to charge me $200 for the basic set! Argh.

Ah Pagemaker. My long lost love. It's been a long time.

Hmmm, I'm thinking of posting exclusively in Comic Sans from now on .... ya know, to annoy Alex. ;)

Alex	11-20-2008 02:33 PM

I spent five years working closely with a woman who emailed exclusively in bold, deep purple comic sans.

Trust me, I've long singe learned to suppress my annoyance until the day I rule the world and can unleash my vengeance. Until then I just use it as a handy indicator of the mildly retarded.
