«За­мечательное искусство книгопечатания было изо­бретено в Майнце. Это искусство искусств, наука наук. Его чрезвычайная продуктивность позволила вызволить из мрака сокровища знаний и мудрости, чтобы обогатить и просветить мир», - писал уже в 1474 г. в своей хронике Вернер Ролевинк. Но сама история изобретения способа печатать текст под­вижными металлическими литерами выяснена еще не до конца. Очевидно одно: современный спо­соб печатания изобретен был не сразу и не одним человеком. Эпоха настоятельно требовала удов­летворения возрастающего спроса на книги, а ксилографическая печать справиться с этой зада­чей не могла. Во многих странах Европы печатники интенсивно искали пути усовершенствований. К этому же их побуждала и взаимная конкуренция.

We see it every day on signs, billboards, packaging, in books and magazines; in fact, you are looking at it now — the Latin or Roman alphabet, the world’s most prolific, most widespread abc. Typography is a relatively recent invention, but to unearth the origins of alphabets, we will need to travel much farther back in time, to an era contemporaneous with the emergence of (agricultural) civilisation itself.

Верстку Pinterest считают одной из причин его популярности, она нравится многим дизайнерам и неоднократно использовалась в других проектах (например, для нижней части главной страницы «Рамблера» или нового сайта «Эха Москвы»). У этого способа представления есть ясные достоинства — например, он переносится в мобайл простым соединением колонок в одну (хотя это скорее особенность «карточного» представления информации).

Если у анонса есть картинка (что почти обязательно при использовании такого дизайна), то она лишь иллюстрирует контент: в лучшем случае — обозначает тематику, в худшем — привлекает внимание сама по себе или просто занимает место.

Use Dropbox or Google Drive to collect, annotate, and grade your students' documents with a simple paperless workflow.

You can remove pictures just from the device by going to the upper left and clicking on the "Photos". That should bring up a menu, where you scroll down almost to the bottom to get to "On Device". Bringing up that list is just the photos on the device (instead of all the photos that G+ knows about), and when you delete there it only affects the device storage, not the backed up version. See https://support.google.com/plus/answer/3453521?hl=en for a (very) little more detail.

Welcome to new users of this site, and welcome back to those returning for another look. This site provides an introduction to medieval manuscripts through the medium of the arcane art of paleography, or the history and decoding of the forms of handwriting. Fear not! It is designed to be interesting and fun, based around interactive exercises cooked up from samples of old scripts in public collections or in the personal possession of myself or other helpful individuals. Some of the manuscripts are august and famous, and other are little scraps discarded by history. Some are beautiful and easy to read, and others are utterly horrible. Some are in Latin, and others in various vernaculars, including English.

Navigation, as crucial as it is to the user experience, is merely a means to an end — the end being to consume content. This is why users have very contrasting expectations about content and navigation. via Pocket

In his new book, “Shady Characters: The Secret Life of Punctuation, Symbols & Other Typographical Marks,” Keith Houston reveals the stories behind esoteric punctuation marks, from the pilcrow (¶) to the manicule (☞) to the octothorpe, a.k.a. the hashtag. Many of these have their roots in ancient Greece or Rome, and have evolved over time in Medieval religious texts, Renaissance scholarship, and modern printed works (not to mention the Internet). Here, Houston, who lives in Scotland and also runs a Shady Characters blog, tells the origin stories of some of these marks.

I recently migrated my blog from WordPress to Jekyll, a fantastic website generator that’s designed for building minimal, static blogs to be hosted on GitHub Pages. The simplicity of Jekyll’s theming layer and writing workflow is fantastic; however, setting up my website took a lot longer than expected.

The printing press was the great innovation in early modern information technology, but economists have found no macroeconomic evidence of its impact. This paper exploits city-level data. Between 1500 and 1600, European cities where printing presses were established in the 1400s grew 60 percent faster than otherwise similar cities. Cities that adopted printing in the 1400s had no prior advantage and the association between adoption and subsequent growth was not due to printers choosing auspicious locations. These findings are supported by regressions that exploit distance from Mainz, Germany – the birth place of printing – as an instrument for adoption.

Like all good things in life, October can be understood at a glance. The principles it implements are natural and existed in programming for a long time. We've just collected and brought them into the realm of web development.

In 2012 and again in 2013, we ran a survey investigating the struggles of modern web design. More specifically, the surveys dug into responsive design, and how it affected workflow for web workers in all sorts of situations.
