Papers from the 1999 Fall Symposium. Technical Report FS-99-04. Published by The AAAI Press, Menlo Park, California, Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence. This symposium brought together academic researchers exploring computational treatments of layout as a feature of text, and practitioners of information design where layout plays a major role. The participants reflected a range of areas within linguistics and computer science in which layout can be studied and used.
Open Designs was founded in December 2006 as a community of web designers and enthusiasts dedicated to sharing free open source web designs online. The aim was to bring together the very best web designers on the web and share those designs so that others may benefit and start their own web projects quickly and easily.
Processing is an open source programming language and environment for people who want to program images, animation, and interactions. It is used by students, artists, designers, researchers, and hobbyists for learning, prototyping, and production. It is created to teach fundamentals of computer programming within a visual context and to serve as a software sketchbook and professional production tool. Processing is an alternative to proprietary software tools in the same domain. Processing is free to download and available for GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows.

But in other ways, tablets are nothing like physical books—the text can extend in every direction, the type can change size. So how do we reconcile these similarities and differences? Where is the baseline for designers looking to produce beautiful, readable text on a tablet?
