Selected Publications
Some interesting documents selected from probably thousands produced using cutting-edge technology in more than sixty years of writing, graphic design, and systems invention. In some cases, the author developed the technology to meet the need for specialized digital publishing. Several of these document paradigms resulted in typographic encoding which later supported desktop publishing systems.

Grünewald Paradigm
Publication withheld through UW machination.
The increased volume of messages and new communication techniques have required almost all communicators to become dependent on, and involved with, technology and applications development. Message creation, transmission, and presentation have become major industries supporting large segments of the economy. Words, pictures, and interpreted ideas and images, have a stronger influence on the beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors of more people than ever before. Transmitters and receivers of messages need increasingly versatile and effective media for handling the complex interactions and information on which contemporary society depends. Consequently, technologists constantly create new communications tools to deliver messages in multiple modes and media. The new media, new message forms, new persuasion techniques, and new ways of analyzing and strategizing for various audience types require a new approach to rhetorical theory.
Rebus Principle
Database containing text and graphics removed by UW administrators.
Rebuses may convey direct meaning, especially to inform or instruct non-literate people, or they may deliberately conceal meaning to inform only the initiated. Rebuses, then, constitute part of visible language since rebus signs primarily represent phonetic sounds, not by abstract alphabetic signs, but by graphics of the word or words that the sound signifies. Many represent the sound of one word by the graphic representation of another, and although a rebus may represent several words, it remains as a representation of the words describing itself. Conversely, the alphabet, although it probably derives from graphics, has lost all connection with words as artifacts, and represents sound, by transforming evanescent sound into typographic images in permanent space.

1957-64
Designing and writing construction industry publications for Jewish immigrant architects and engineers - several of them concentration camp survivors - who had difficulty writing English as a second language. That writing, and other technical communications, qualified the author for membership in the National Union of Journalists.
1947-1956 (except for combat duty)
Primarily concerned with reproduction of legal transcripts for the High Courts of Justice, London, and journals for Royal Institute of Arts, London.
1944
First published at age 11 in a grammar school (high school) self-produced satirical magazine. Lampooning caused consternation among both administrators and faculty members. On reflection, the master allowed publication to continue in the interest of academic freedom - a school tradition that dated back to Thomas Macauley and William Wilberforce as the author pointed out to him at the time.
