I am pleased to report that the Middle States Commission on Higher Education
accepted Kutztown University’s 2012 monitoring report on June 28. Acceptance of
the report depended strongly on the development and implementation of the
assessment processes for institutional effectiveness and general education.
Thanks to everyone who helped us make significant strides in these areas. We are
now concentrating on the Periodic Review Report due to Middle States on June 1,
2013. F. Javier Cevallos, president Congratulations to Denise Bosler, associate professor in Communication Design, for her book being chosen as an Editor’s Pick on howdesign.com. The book, Mastering Type: The Essential Guide to Typography for Print and Web Design, and a feature article, "Typography Crash Course," were featured in the July 2012 issue of HOW Magazine. Mastering Type provides information about typography for print and digital media that is essential for designers to enhance communication. Excerpt: "When I was a fledgling designer, I once had an art director tell me my work looked dated and mismatched. “Your connotation is all wrong!” he said. I nodded my head dejectedly and went back to work. I had no idea what he was talking about. A short time later, he showed up at my desk lugging a graphic design history book with several pages marked. Sure enough, my design combined fonts from the 1940s and 1970s, and used a Bauhaus style layout with 1980s colors—it was all wrong. He knew it and I knew it. I suddenly realized that I should have paid more attention in my design history class. Typography can make or break a design. As a designer, you need to know everything about type—including its history. There’s a reason why certain historic eras’ approaches to typography and design were successful: They made an impact on the world. Don’t merely look at projects from those eras. Absorb them, love them and explore them. Glean inspiration from the font choice, type treatment, layout, color and concepts. Dadaism, Bauhaus, Constructivism, Art Nouveau, Art Deco and other art movements’ typography and design influence designers every day."
