A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Thomas V. Skrivan was born in Poland. He studied at Warsaw Polytechnic, where he received a Masters degree. In 1965 he immigrated to the United States. For a number of years, he worked as a mechanical engineer. In 1981, however, he decided to change his occupation to one that appealed to him as more creative and artistic - a professional photographer. With time, he became an expert in photo-composites and special effects photography. While a photographer, he published two handbooks: PIN REGISTRATION AND MASKING and THE BOOK OF CHARTS. He also designed a computer program for color work on photographic enlargers. In 1994, with the increased importance of computer graphics and desktop publishing, he joined the digital imaging department of a photo/digital lab in San Francisco. He continues to work as a graphic designer and owner of his company, GraphicPage, located in Foster City, CA. The former work as a special-effects photographer, and the later job as a digital imaging artist, provided him with a constant exposure to the advertising and publishing industry. That experience brought him an idea of a handbook/encyclopedia of fonts that would eliminate the difficulty and labor of identifying a font in an existing text or finding the right typeface for a new project.
