Manor: A Bouton typeface in the Works

[wizard509]

Question: This looks like the thread I started awhile ago and moved this stuff into but it has a different name. So how did that happen. I like this name but I was just wondering what happened and why?

[Gare]

I had a free moment, Larry, and got out the broom and dustpan.

You did move it, I renamed it, because the old name wasn't very illuminating.

Don't be confused.

Just be Larry.

Thanks Gare, I didn't know a thread could be renamed, but I was fairly certain that is what happened.
I haven't heard anything about Mikes font for awhile. Do you know what's up with that?

[Gare]

You can only rename a thread if you created it, Larry, that is: I started it, I edited the subject by going to advanced options in the forum.

Mike is setting a pace here I think we all can learn from, Larry. He and I privately discussed his font "versus" starting on mine, and the conclusion is: wait a while (because both of us are a little preoccupied for a few days), or start a different group event, lest this font collaboration burns out the key players here.

Mike shared with me a suggestion, a good one: a makeover of a publication or a website, heavy use of design, layout, and typography is a natural.

Thoughts?

I can see a publication maybe and that might be fun, but I know absolutely nothing about websites.

[Gare]

Well, when you put fun and learning together, ideally you get TalkGraphics, Larry.

What if 12 people got together on this thread, each of knowing very little about, say, a website that needs a makeover. We'd exchange what we do know, learn, do a little research, then put our combined skills together and probably be incredibly successful in such a venture.

A magazine could be fun, too.

Where there's a will, there's fun.

So many wonderful ideas Gary! I would like to help out with this font but I can't commit just yet, because I may have a job starting in the beginning of May doing a website for a client and until I know what exactly the client is going to want and when the job will start it's hard for me to judge how much time I'm going to have. and I already said I would do some glyphs for Mike

Hubby and I have been thinking about giving Good Morning Sunshine a makeover anyway, so how about that for a project? Due to the printing process there will be a few things I'll have to go over and we will be restricted to a greyscale layout. (color really gets expensive on a weekly publication)

Thoughts?
