various methods of communication such as sound, video and cell phones, since Processing offers an entry into that world of the physical interface system. I have been lucky enough to have two dear collaborators, Viviana Cordova and John P. Corrigan, on this book. They are former classmates from the MICA GD MFA program. I invited John to be managing editor and designer and Viviana to be a co-author. As managing editor and designer, John delivered coherent and consistent guidance, whenever Viviana and I were staggering in unclear directions among all the typography, motion graphics and interactivity for the book. He created all of the beautiful layouts and reinterpreted all of the letters generated by Processing into a meaningful and organized typography. As a co-author, Viviana developed parts of the basic chapter and wrote the description in the book for graphic designers. Also, she created the book cover design by using my three-dimensional typographic tree. The Type + Code team was honored to present the book in April 2008 at the AIGA Graphic Design Educator Conference Massaging Media II, in Boston. We invited Kate Harmon as a Web site designer, at the final stage of this project. Now this book is out of my hands. I hope that it will help graphic designers learn the practice of code-driven typography with Processing, as well as guide them in exploring new ways of visual creativity. —Yeohyun Ahn
