< Adobe Cheese

That new CS3 site is visually appealing (in a lowest-common-denom sort of way), and very smooth, but the poor product and marketing managers must have taken some pretty bad acting direction. They all seem very stiff and/or corny. The result is something not too far from QVN/infomercialland.

QBN Typecase: Passing the Torch

Clarifications:

1. The Typecase is an idea I pitched to QBN two years ago. After a Newstoday redesign in June '05, QBN launched the Typecase and graciously provided the space and the freedom to do whatever I wished with the column.

2. As I am clearly biased toward FontShop, many of my links pointed to FontShop.com. No money changed hands, but obviously these links were of financial benefit to FS. QBN and FS agreed to a time limit for this relationship. That milestone has now passed.

3. I wish Veer all the best in their new position as the Typecase sponsor. I no longer contribute any graphics or reviews to the column.

4. The decision to replace the archived content was QBN's. These past reviews will soon be published at Typographica, along with new reviews:

4. I wish Newstoday the best, and while I won't be around as often as I used to, I think this place is grand and have great respect for QBN. I was treated fairly.

Writing reviews and creating specimens for the Typecase was a joy. Thank you for reading my drivel over the past year.

Is PVN search defective? I can't seem to find the broadcast in which someone asked for Impact alternatives and I gave a list of candidates. I've searched and found it twice before, but not working today.

Thanks for findin' help.

Quicktime Embedding

Can someone lend a little QT help for a guy who knows little more than typography?

http://typographi.com/001010.php…

Clicking on the poster img should play the movie. Not happening. It's also appearing at a smaller size than it should for some reason.

Thanks.
