Up until recently, the world of typography has been extremely limited on the world wide web. Nice type has been something reserved for graphics that don't need to be edited (images of type), which means the occasional headline or rotating promotion on the homepage. The remainder of the text throughout the site (the large majority) has been set in Arial, or Verdana, or Tahoma, or one of the others from the very limited list of web-safe fonts. First proposed in CSS2, the @font-face style now makes it possible to use TrueType or OpenType fonts on websites.

Our thumbtacked logo wall is coming along... we've still got a ways to go though. :)
Dave Riensche - Art Director
At the beginning of new client meetings, our business card exchange usually leads to easy conversation. Not only because they are thick and plastic much like a credit card, but also because each of our employees customize their cards with their own images. There are questions about the images, answered with stories about personal experiences, followed by jokes about swiping the card in exchange for web services or coffee. All of this is great. It helps us to show our new clients that we like to have fun, we like to think outside the box, and we're people they can get to know and trust.
FGI Art Director takes to the airwaves
by Loren Skaggs, CEO
You should forgive FGI Art Direct David Reinsche (pictured) if his voice is sounding a little hoarse these days. It's just that his vocal chords are getting a bit more of a workout than they used to.
Dave is hosting his own late night "“ or is it early morning? "“ radio program on 91.3 FM KBCS in Bellevue, 3-5am on Tuesday mornings. Hosting under the handle "DJ UX," the program is called "The User Experience" (we like that here!). Dave will be spinning an eclectic variety of his favorite modern music.
Dave describes his program this way: "The User Experience is a variety show with no comfort zone. The intention is to provide fresh music that makes you bob your head and turn up your radio, and surprises you when you do it "¦ because you didn't know you liked hip-hop, or indie-rock, or electronic, or dub."
Why, it'll be just like sitting with Dave in our design studio, only with your eyes closed!
