Nezadovoljstvo prezentacijskim mogućnostima programa Geogebra 2D i Geogebra 3D beta (i mnogih java-sto sličnih), te prezentacijskim programima (pučki - M$ PowerPoint), vezano za temu e-obrazovanje i prezentacije nekih postupaka u npr. nacrtnoj geometriji animacijom "korak po korak" vratilo me na ponovno čitanje dosadnih priručnika za pakete korišćene u TeX-u, LaTeX-u, ConTeXtu… glede produkcije offline animiranog .pdf formata.
Till Tantau sigurno dobro poznaje 2D medije. Tipografija ima svoje gradivne elemente. Multimedija još i više.

[…] podsjetio me na gradivo koje su očito preskočili auktori multimedije o kojoj zborimo u nekoliko zadnjih upisa.
Continuous distraction je najkraći mogući opis dojma o prvoj epizodi serije izrečen na protorvackom.
»Good typography (like good organization) is something you do not notice. The job of typography is to make reading the text, that is, "absorbing" its information content, as effortless as possible. For a novel, readers absorb the content by reading the text line-by-line, as if they were listening to someone
telling the story. In this situation anything on the page that distracts the eye from going quickly and evenly from line to line will make the text harder to read.
Now, pick up your favorite weekly magazine or newspaper and have a look at a typical page. You will notice that there is quite a lot "going on" on the page. Fonts are used at different sizes and in different arrangements, the text is organized in narrow columns, typically interleaved with pictures. The reason magazines are typeset in this way is another paradigm: Steer attention.
Readers will not read a magazine like a novel. Instead of reading a magazine line-by-line, we use headlines and short abstracts to check whether we want to read a certain article or not. The job of typography is to steer our attention to these abstracts and headlines, first. Once we have decided that we want to read an article, however, we
no longer tolerate distractions, which is why the main text of articles is typeset exactly the same way as a novel.«
