Excerpt: Ray Larabie (born 1970 in Ottawa, Ontario) is a designer of computer TrueType and OpenType fonts. Beginning in 1996, Larabie distributed his designs over the internet as freeware, operating as his own independent type foundry LarabieFonts. Larabie became interested in fonts in the early '70s when his grandmother gave him sheets of Letraset. He eventually became familiar with typefaces, and could identify hundreds of fonts by name. He began creating typefaces with pen and paper and later, on his first computer, a TRS-80. Larabie was employed at Rockstar Toronto and had contributed his designs to multiple video game titles, including the hit series' Grand Theft Auto and Max Payne, before he quit the company in 2002 to focus full-time on type design. Many of his designs were inspired by corporate and rock band logos, whose names paid sly tribute to their sources: Other Larabie fonts, such as Degrassi and Electroharmonix, were creations of Ray Larabies own imagination. Early designs were typically science fiction, futurist and techno-oriented, but he eventually produced fonts in a wide variety of styles, including pop culture, '70s retro, decorative, handwritten, experimental and novelty faces. This visibility lead to Larabie's designs becoming commonly used in advertising, in particular within the music and clothing industries. Larabie released over 400 freeware fonts before announcing in 2001 that he would focus exclusively on commercial fonts that he sold through his new independent type foundry Typodermic. ...More: http: //booksllc.net/?id=122004We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
