To create
The
FontSite, we use
a constantly evolving set of tools (as the Buddhist saying goes, one
never steps into the same HTML twice). We are currently using Macromedia
Dreamweaver and BBEdit
as our primary web deveopment applications. MicroVision’s WebExpress,
a web site creation tool for Windows, was used to design the FontSite
Bookstore. WebExpress lets you create web pages with cascading style
sheets, and handles this task exceptionally well.
 Graphics
were created with Adobe
Photoshop and Adobe
Illustrator (of course). GIF animations were created using Adobe
ImageReady. You
might recognize the typefaces Century and Franklin Gothic (from the
FontSite 500 CD) and Myriad (from Adobe). We use them throughout the
site. Our logo was created with Penumbra, a Multiple Master font from
Adobe, whose possibilities for logo and display work seem endless.
FontSite Inc is a consortium of west coast artists, engineers and writers. Software development, print and web publishing is what we do. If you’d like more information about our services please send email to info@fontsite.com. |

| SEAN
CAVANAUGH spends most
of his days developing software, or writing about it (or cursing it).
He’s been doing this since 1984 or so. The author of four books,
Sean is also a contributing editor at IdN
Magazine where he writes about type and technology.“My
love of type comes from a love for words,” he says. “I find
it impossible to separate the two,” which is a more refined way of
admitting he was an English Lit major and school paper geek.Sean
occasionally gets away from the keyboard, and enjoys riding his BMW
R1100-RS at high speeds on twisty-turny roads.His
favorite typefaces are Frutiger and Bembo. |
