My profession started out with grafic design and typography is one of my passions. Now I'm working with monospaced code most of my time, and I'm often trying to link those fields in one way or another. Considering the rational, informational aspect of visual/written communication, I think that less is more. We need only a few simple, structural elements and one most readable font family. Data structures might be POD (very sexy ;), XML (flexible), HTML (quick & dirty), you name it... To keep things straight, most of the actual visual interpretation should be left to the user. He's interested primarily in the information, not our visual style. When you're up for individual, high quality design however, you will need specialized tools that let you do the design, not the markup (thinking of QuarkXpress, Freehand, Photoshop etc.) Keep it straight and simple! ~Django"Why don't we ever challenge the spherical earth theory?"
