After some digging, I found it is called a catchword. Read more about it here: http://english.stackexchange.com/questions/65963/in-old-books-why-is-the-first-word-of-the-next-page-printed-at-the-bottom-of-th I always assumed this was to improve readability, as the reader could continue more seamlessly onto the following page, but it turns out it was also ...

The long s 'ſ' can be found in many blackletter fonts, but the r rotunda 'ꝛ' seems to be very rare. There are several blackletter fonts by Peter Wiegel (Cat Fonts) that contain both glyphs and are for free: Rotunda Pommerania Berthold Mainzer Frkatur UNZ1A Blankenburg UNZ1A Fette UNZ Fraktur Schwaben UNZ1A Of these, Rotunda Pommerania comes closest to ...

Normally, "Black" is used to mark the heaviest (boldest) variant of a font. Or, they use a number scheme, usually running from 100 (lightest) to 900 (heaviest). So, I'd expect Neuzeit Grotesk Black to be the heaviest variant: http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/urw/neuzeit-grotesk/t-black/ The 'grotesk' part of the name simply refers to the stylistic family of ...

But what was their inspiration/model? What era were they trying to envoke, if any? Haas set out to design a new sans-serif typeface that could compete with the successful Akzidenz-Grotesk in the Swiss market. And was there a predecessor to their inspiration that might provide a better understanding of this family? Originally called Neue Haas ...

For a little background, the reason I originally posted this question was to provide some space to answer a comment on another answer of mine. The issue revolved around pairing fonts with Helvetica and I proposed looking to structurally and historically related faces: namely the clarendons. It seems odd at first but, if you trace Helvetica's lineage (and ...

To add a bit more: What was their inspiration/model? It was part of the international style of Swiss typography (the "International style" or "Swiss style"), and is an example of a 'Grotesk' (Grotesque) sans serif (Germanic 'Grotesks' are sometimes associated with a more geometric approach than US/UK 'Grotesques'). It's a movement associated with crisp ...

You may want to focus your topic into the concept of information design, which is where graphic deign splits off from just being about making something look pretty to highlighting the information that is important to people. One starting point might be to look at the Nudge blog where occasionally they highlight how design can "nudge" people into making ...

Have you tried doing any of these things? Restore part of an image to its previously saved version Do one of the following: Use the History Brush tool to paint with the selected state or snapshot on the History panel. Use the Eraser tool with the Erase To History option selected. Select the area you want to restore, and choose Edit > Fill. For Use, ...

The Stop sign comes to mind. Before design was unified each state, county, and city was free to have their own form of stop sign. Colors could range from yellow, to orange, to red, even green in a few cases. And shapes, while mostly circular, varied as well - some rectangles, triangles, and circles. The (federally mandated) unification of design has ...

Target's pharmaceutical packaging comes to mind. Dubbed ClearRx, it originated as a student project at SVA and Target picked it up. Here's a couple of starting points for info. http://deborahadlerdesign.com/casestudy/?id=target - The designer who pioneered ClearRX talking through her story, with images illustrating the process ...

If you have an account at the AP Style Guide you'll see that this process is already in the works. It's part of AP style to not put 2 spaces after a period. http://www.apstylebook.com/online/index.php?do=entry&id=3544&src=AE

As others have pointed out, this is a perfect opportunity for a scripted solution. The upside of scripting it (vs doing it by hand) is that you could tag the dupes with a label so the process could be updated on reflow. It really shouldn't be that difficult to do in javascript. Check out the InDesign Scripting forum for more complete guidance.
