Design philosophy: all information in this web site should be accessible to the intended audience regardless of platform, browser, or size of screen. Graphics are kept to a minimum to reduce download times. If you see a frame or an animated GIF, feel free to flame me mercilessly.

This site uses fully compliant cascading style sheets (CSS). Older browsers should display text in their default fonts, while more recent browsers will all display fully formatted text. (However, the styles sheets will look best viewed in Internet Explorer 4.0 or above.) The site also complies with major accessibility standards.

Colophon

The base font for this page is Trebuchet MS, a free font from Microsoft designed for on-screen readability at small point sizes. The headlines are 32 pt Times bold italic, combining elegance, classical proportions, and compactness.

The logo is variation on the original logo from Aldus PageMaker and depicts Aldus Manutius, a student of Johannes Gutenberg and inventor of italics. This is to echo the roots of desktop publishing, both in the 1450s and the 1980s. The logo uses Courier from ITC to evoke the feel of metal type and Poetica from Adobe Systems to evoke the era of hand lettering.

Woolf Honored

Every "Australia Day" (January 26) someone is named as "Australian of the Year". In 2006,one of the semi-finalists was our own Gordon Woolf, author of Publication Production Using Pagemaker: A guide to using Adobe PageMaker 7 for the production of newspapers, newsletters, magazines and other formatted publications.

According to the chairman of the National Australia Day Council, former Olympic gold medal swimmer Lisa Curry Kenny MBE OAM, the award was "for the role you play in a world wide peer group for the PageMaker computer program and for Desktop publishing in general based on both technical expertise and leadership."

Nick Hodge of Adobe calls Gordon "God of all things PageMaker." We say, "Hear, hear!"
