Kok Cheow Yeoh is currently an Assistant Professor of Visual Communication at the Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. Prior to joining NTU, he has taught in California, Arkansas, Texas and Georgia in the United States.

His research interests vary, from meaning-making with visual narratives to conceptual and aesthetical applications within social, commercial, educational, and spiritual contexts. This is where the fusion of text and image, message and audience, process and materials, theoretical and practical models interact as such a platform induces designers to be interdisciplinary.

Peter Karow was born a farmer’s in Stargard, Pomerania, on November 11, 1940. From School and after his civil service he progressed to the university of Hamburg, to study high energy physics leading to a dissertation in 1971. With Rubow and Weber he founded the company URW Software & Type GmbH.

Digital type became his life‘s work and has continued to be a most enjoyable and exciting task to the present day. Several contacts with type designers, especially Hermann Zapf, had great impact on his development of the IKARUS-program. Since 1988, both worked on the hz-progam in order to use the power of computers to improve the micro-typography of texts. Peter Karow gave international presentations on numerous conferences, wrote many articles for journals, got 14 patents for DTP related methods, and wrote several books. In 1995 he started to work on “Digital Typography” and developed programs for paragraph-fit, page-fit, and chapter-fit which typeset a chapter of a book in a manner that it starts on a right and ends on a left page without hurting typographic rules. During all this years, he viewed ads in magazines to learn about application of typefaces - their effect on, expression to, and perception by the reader, and their congeniality.
