Magazine Typography: Designing for Browsers and Readers
Magazine typography is all about communicating, but magazines communicate in many different ways. One of those ways is through the text, the traditional meat of any publication. Other ways include photography, artwork, suggestive and allusive headlines, cartoons, and even the advertising. All of these require integrating words and images in imaginative ways.

What's My Name? Nametags in Theory and Practice
At any planned gathering of a community that’s too large or far-flung for everyone to know everyone else by sight, the time-honored solution to the recognition problem is nametags. At a family gathering, these are probably plain white stick-on labels, with names handlettered by Aunt Frieda; at a conference, they’re usually preprinted and housed in plastic holders made for such an event. Nametags are a very local and specialized branch of information design, and, as such, they form part of the glue that binds together a community.
