         A review of a Typographic Special Effects Package
            The Macintosh and PostScript have created a revolution in the world of graphic design. Furthermore, there is a continuing evolution as the tools and techniques of the professional electronic designers and illustrators have come within the reach of “the rest of us.”
We’ve seen the advances in illustration with programs such as Adobe Illustrator and Aldus FreeHand. Electronic page layout, starting with Pagemaker, has advanced with Quark XPress, Ready,Set,Go, and the soon-to-be-released Design Studio. Although typography has made great strides in the Mac world, from kerning to type-on-a-curve, the creative use of type as a graphic element has lagged behind. LetraStudio, from Letraset, marked what was perhaps the first major attempt to deal with this issue on a professional level, but LetraStudio has often been viewed as overpriced and overly dependent on its own (also overpriced) typefaces. It also had a somewhat quirky interface. Smart Art, from Emerald City Software, made great strides in user friendliness, but it is limited to manipulations of predefined effects—great for quick solutions, but not always practical for full-fledged logo design.
We’ve been waiting for TypeStyler for a long time, and now it’s here. I’ve been working with beta versions of the program for several months, and now 
I have the opportunity to test the final, shrink-wrapped 
version of what promises to be a breakthrough product.
