New Perspectives On Web Design

(C. Jardin) #1

CHAPTER 9 The Next Steps for Web Typography


are quite a few reference websites for writers that provide a good starting
point for us all, for instance The Chicago Manual of Style Online^5 , The
Oxford Guide to Style^6 or the more specific UK Government Digital Service
content principles^7. And every Web typographer should write an essay or
an article at some point in their career — at least to change perspective and
learn how content conception works.

I also encourage you to write. You may not be Tolstoy, but shared thoughts can
inspire friends you haven’t met yet.
