Print Layout and Design with a Computer CRT System

Authors

  • R. J. Wakefield

Abstract

This paper is a report on an investigation into the feasibility of using a computer equipped with a CRT display for layout and design work. This investigation was mainly concerned with ascertaining whether a CRT system could create images of sufficient typographic standard, while allowing the size of face to be such that a realistic layout of a page could be represented at any one time. The work was essentially exploratory in nature, but enough was done to enable some conclusions to be drawn.
