'I see nothing with your name on it, nothing to indicate it points to another thread, nothing that insinuates or attacks....The only thing I see is your rather active imagination, or bruised ego as the case may be.... and the WANT to go out of ones' way to start something further. Who the heck cares about an argument you had with someone months ago? Get over yourself.

See RE: Beautiful Title I have ever seen. Or don't... I don't care either way.

Why get involved if you don't know what you're taking about?
 

How is it that with all the books you have examined you still don’t know the difference between titling and branding, copy and logo’s…?”

They are not the same and are treated differently; do you get a perverted kick from waffling about typography?

"Why get involved if you don't know what you're taking about?"

Other threads are other threads and I have no interest.

YOU involved me (and others) with your rather snide post. Although I must say your post just previous to this is quite a bit more helpful. I'm not sure why you didn't just come out like that in the first place? You get your point across much better and there is little for people to be offended at.

Well, let me come to barley's defense here. If you note the post he responds to, xfx is in fact dishing out advice, the advice he is dishing out, or stating as a "rule" is that you should never mix font types, he uses serif and sans-serif as an example of families never to mix. In this thread.

Whether barley and xfx had a disagreement on this point earlier or not is more or less irrelevant. I do remember the discussion in question and I skipped it. One fact is still true though, the xfx advice is patently bad advice and correcting it is perfectly fine. Of course you can, and very often should, mix serif and sans-serif.

So, whether barley and xfx had a disagreement some time ago or not, his point is still valid and contextual in this thread. The advice xfx gives is bad.

YOU involved me (and others) with your rather snide post

That is patently absurd. You involved your self, and only you involved your self. Nobody else did. Take responsibility for your own actions blink. Nobody forces you to get involved.

Of course you can, and very often should, mix serif and sans-serif.

you have taken what I said of context

would you mix them in the same sentence ?“as was in the original clip” then you are the one giving bad advice
what book have you ever read that in the middle of a sentence changes type? this is not clever its ridiculous


I gave advice on the field that I work in, which is advertising, this is what I was taught as a guide or rule
And apply , sure there are creative people who do achieve amazing results breaking all the rules.

but do you honestly think that someone with less experience is going to achieve the same results?


Answer this question for me Terje

Why do corporate identity production manuals only limit the use of 1 or 2 type faces in there direction and they dont mix them?

'would you mix them in the same sentence ?“as was in the original clip” then you are the one giving bad advice what book have you ever read that in the middle of a sentence changes type? this is not clever its ridiculous'

There are no sentences in the original clip. There are headings and names.

The fonts are a brave but presumably apposite juxtaposition (who knows without seeing the rest of the film?) and whoever did these titles has thought things through ('camera asst.' seems the least felicitous element) and taken some care.

It's madness for xfx to suggest there's anything absolutely wrong here.

bearlycorn shouldn’t you be downloading some typefaces?

You are quite correct I was mistaken and viewed the titling as one bit of info.

Oooooo boy is there anything absolutely normal over there

Thanks for all that history guys..I appreciate the difference of opinions and varied perspectives of your arguments as I've taken the time to read. Of course, I will draw my own conclusions based on the facts I receive, understand and believe are in the best interest of my work. I thank you all for sharing knowing that there is alot of value in sharing ones experience.

What I can see here is that xfx uses the standards of the corporate world while bearlycorn has a more independant artistic approach to creation. My aim is to use the strength of both..


I've taken a day off to focus on other aspects of my artistic career while I left my project to render. When I checked it out, I noticed a glitch.

I rendered it using Widows Media Video V9 and I've noticed that in my introduction there was a flicker in my text effect. I've used the protitler to create text to which I applied the horizontal and vertical blur (x max, y max to none) The text Flickers very badly then clears up so something is going wrong..either the codec that can't handle it or ??

I would appreciate someones comments on that & thx again,
