Metamatic Forums John Foxx Ultravox New remasters

And still about three months until Christmas.

Just got Vienna from Amazon (Rage en route from elsewhere). Have to say I thought there’d be a more substantial booklet (credits type size a bit small too) and as a graphic designer I noticed a type snafu. Sadly, the "Vienna" title on the CD label has defaulted to Courier typeface instead of the correct typestyle. Happened to me a few times when I didn’t supply the font suitcases to whoever was doing the run out!

Not able to listen to it yet but hopefully tonight.

snafu?

The 'error' with the font on Vienna has been discussed on the Ultravox forum. The Astradyne typeface was definitely supplied.

Our original design was for the booklets to be twenty pages - but they had to be reduced to eight pages at pretty much the last minute. The twenty page booklets (for Vienna and Rage in Eden ) are available to download over on Extreme Voice if you're interested.

Typefaces and fonts are the bane of the life of a designer, aren't they!
At my office, we have given up supplying them now and always resort to outlining all text as paths on any pre-press artwork.

Snap! Downside is you can’t phone any typos through as the text is just a solid block. Still, beats the horror of having a set of films and matchprint come back with a defaulted typeface. Worse still if printing from disc and you’ve got 10,000 of the buggers done before it’s noticed.

That is exactly what I am waiting for.
