caring for seniors

I just finished editing a book called Notes from Over the Hill by Martha Morgan, an octogenarian lady from Saskatoon. Throughout the project I kept hearing and feeling the phrase "care for seniors." First of all, the care comes through making Martha's humourous perspective available to her peers, providing important perspective on aging. Second, the care comes through the design of the book, particularly the body text font, which was designed for both beauty and readability.

We actually used two unique fonts: Crab Apple Relish and Candara-custom. Designed by Travis Williams of Georgia, USA, these fonts make their debut in this book. On the cover you can see both of them. Crab Apple Relish is the titling font and appears on the front cover in "Martha Morgan" and "Notes from Over the Hill." Everything else on the cover is Candara-custom. We have had excellent feedback about the readability of the font in the articles. Visit our website for a sample: www.marthamorgan.ca.



The book is at the printer now, Friesens in Altona, Manitoba. The schedule is tight, but we're hoping and praying to have the books back in time for Mother's Day.

importance of artistry

I read a short story today that made me ponder the importance of good artistry—and discipline, even when it seems unimportant on earth.

 

Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase in the Lord's prayer, "Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven" (Matthew 6:10).
