As the days pass by computers and other 21st century electronics are becoming more and more a part human lives.

A recent article published by Anne Trubek titled “Handwriting Just Doesn’t Matter” analyzes the importance of handwriting in the computerized world that is lived in today, as well as through a discussion on the teaching of cursive and other handwriting exercises in schools. Using a mix of pathos, logos, and minor amounts of ethos, Trubek is able to comprehensively convince her audience that handwriting is not as important or useful a skill as it used to be.

He employs the use of imagery, diction and tone in order to convey to his readers the idea of emotional design.

In a world of evolution, it is often found difficult to accept a new trade or skill that partially substitutes a skill so commonly used and accepted today. As generations pass, people discover new things that revival the beliefs of the past and handwriting is not exempt from this course of evolution. People have hit that critical point of rivalry between handwriting and its challenger typing. Handwriting is a skill known by people for centuries and even prior to handwriting people painted or carved to record information. In today’s world, typing keeps becoming more of a key player and triumphs over hand writing in many aspects.

Typography was completely transformed when the printing press by Gutenberg was invented in the 15 century. Since it’s creation, typography has been advancing non stop. The importance of typography is conveying meaning with the design of typefaces. Typography can create different meanings and feelings just by the use of a certain typeface. The typeface can influence a formal, informal, playful, serious, etc mood on the reader and viewer of the font. There are two different types of designs, schooled and unschooled. However, one is design is not better than the other just because it’s schooled and the other is not.

Typeface has got to be a character through the narrative. It should really carry a part of the story.

The University of Oklahoma must display enhanced use of design elements in their signs, flyers, and posters to appeal to the human eye of students across campus; as a result, students can become aware of gluten-free options served at Cate Dining and the Cafeteria on campus. The current gluten-free sign lacks many key design elements, such as contrast, color, alignment, imagery, and typography; consequently, this results in the sign being overlooked by most students, leaving them uninformed about different things.
