Foundations of suburbia
Article Abstract:
Architectural expert Keller Easterling and media archivist Rick Prelinger studied rare government advertising, industrial films, archival photographs, maps, blueprints and radio programs in their video 'Call it Home: The House that Private Enterprise Built.' The video offers a refreshing change to families afflicted by the depression by tracing modern suburban development from 1934 to 1960 to explain the reasons for the collapse of the planner's dream of suburbia created in the 1930s.

Typecast by name
Article Abstract:
Typefaces are given different names depending on different factors, such as name of designer and place where it could be used. These letterforms are used for different purposes, such as to promote a fashion. The trends of a given period of time also dictate the names of typefaces. The latest trend is the use of computers in designing which have made creating new fonts easier. Use of new typefaces can attract the attention of consumers and increase sales of a product.
