Press-on letters can be used to make titles in a wide range of sizes and type styles. They're available at most art supply stores and cost $3 to $4. SO per sheet. The same companies that make the press-on letters also make sheets of arrows, people, automobiles, lines, symbols-most anything you can imaging. In a pinch we've even cut up their catalogs to use the graphics! HEADLINERS are another source of titles that is faster, somewhat more professional looking and sometimes cheaper than press letters. Go to a newspaper or typesetting service that has photographic typesetters (Compugraphic, Headliner, Photo Typositor), which can make titles, headlines or large type excerpts of almost any size. The number of type styles available at any one typesetter is usually less than what you can get in press-on letters. "COMMUNITY PRESS FEATURES," a monthly collection of camera-ready cartoons, graphics and articles put out by Urban Planning Aid, 639 Massachusetts Ave., Cambridge, MA 02139, can be clipped and used in community and other publications if you need a source of reproduceable graphics. Generally focussed on social change, the graphics are culled from many sources and styles. Free to community papers, $10/year to individuals and non-profit organizations who can afford it, and $30/year to libraries and profit-making institutions. Probably the best source of graphics-to say what you really want to say-is yourself and your friends.
