Redesigning English Brochure for Chinese - design question

I have designed a brochure that we have translated into Vietnamese and Chinese. I have the following questions:
1. Should I make the text vertical instead of horizontal, and how do I accomplish that in InDesign?
2. Currently I am using the font Adobe Song. I have no idea how this looks to a Chinese reader. I wonder what a good conservative but modern and friendly font would be in the world of Traditional Chinese fonts. Suggestions?
3. Anything anyone can suggest that I should be aware of when designing for Chinese?
Here is a url to a rough draft of one page of the brochure:
http://www.sivanandayogavietnam.org/brochure.pdf
I appreciate any thoughts.

That's correct they are stateless, and created when
the "dispatcher" is created.Oh, ok. I like this approach. In my case the dispatcher will be a servlet, I will create and populate the private static final hashtable (not hashmap since it is not synchronized) in my servlet init method. Now I can get the correct action class from the action key in my doGet and doPost methods. Thank you very much for your help.

  • LDAP design question for multiple sites

    LDAP design question for multiple sites
    I'm planning to implement the Sun Java System Directory Server 5.2 2005Q1 for replacing the NIS.
    Currently we have 3 sites with different NIS domains.
    Since the NFS over the WAN connection is very unreliable, I would like to implement as follows:
    1. 3 LDAP servers + replica for each sites.
    2. Single username and password for every end user cross those 3 sites.
    3. Different auto_master, auto_home and auto_local maps for three sites. So when user login to different site, the password is the same but the home directory is different (local).
    So the questions are
    1. Should I need to have 3 domains for LDAP?
    2. If yes for question 1, then how can I keep the username password sync for three domains? If no for question 1, then what is the DIT (Directory Infrastructure Tree) or directory structure I should use?
    3. How to make auto map work on LDAP as well as mount local home directory?
    I really appreciate that some LDAP experta can light me up on this project.

    Thanks for your information.
    My current environment has 3 sites with 3 different NIS domainname: SiteA: A.com, SiteB:B.A.com, SiteC:C.A.com (A.com is our company domainname).
    So everytime I add a new user account and I need to create on three NIS domains separately. Also, the password is out of sync if user change the password on one site.
    I would like to migrate NIS to LDAP.
    I want to have single username and password for each user on 3 sites. However, the home directory is on local NFS filer.
    Say for userA, his home directory is /user/userA in passwd file/map. On location X, his home directory will mount FilerX:/vol/user/userA,
    On location Y, userA's home directory will mount FilerY:/vol/user/userA.
    So the mount drive is determined by auto_user map in NIS.
    In other words, there will be 3 different auto_user maps in 3 different LDAP servers.
    So userA login hostX in location X will mount home directory on local FilerX, and login hostY in location Y will mount home directory on local FilerY.
    But the username and password will be the same on three sites.
    That'd my goal.
    Some LDAP expert suggest me the MMR (Multiple-Master-Replication). But I still no quite sure how to do MMR.
    It would be appreciated if some LDAP guru can give me some guideline at start point.
    Best wishes

  • Design question for database connection in multithreaded socket-server

    Dear community,
    I am programming a multithreaded socket server. The server creates a new thread for each connection.
    The threads and several objects witch are instanced by each thread have to access database-connectivity. Therefore I implemented factory class which administer database connection in a pool. At this point I have a design question.
    How should I access the connections from the threads? There are two options:
    a) Should I implement in my server class a new method like "getDatabaseConnection" which calls the factory class and returns a pooled connection to the database? In this case each object has to know the server-object and have to call this method in order to get a database connection. That could become very complex as I have to safe a instance of the server object in each object ...
    b) Should I develop a static method in my factory class so that each thread could get a database connection by calling the static method of the factory?
    Thank you very much for your answer!
    Kind regards,
    Dak

    So your suggestion is to use a static method from a
    central class. But those static-methods are not realy
    object oriented, are they?There's only one static method, and that's getInstance
    If I use singleton pattern, I only create one
    instance of the database pooling class in order to
    cionfigure it (driver, access data to database and so
    on). The threads use than a static method of this
    class to get database connection?They use a static method to get the pool instance, getConnection is not static.

  • Design Question for table - related columns

    Hi,
    I have some design question about table I am working on.
    Here are the sample fields in the table,
    process_begin_date
    process_approved_by
    process_signed_by
    process_monitor
    process_communication
    the same way I have around 10 groups, for ex
    other_begin_date
    other_approved_by
    other_signed_by
    other_email
    other_something
    Question: Is good have all 50 fields in the same table? or any better idea?

    Hi,
    Number of columns should not be any issue, but, proper normalization may be better for your design and scalability. If you can explain what you are storing in this table, you might get help if you need to have more than 2 tables in this particular scenario.
    If all these fields are related to a single entity, probably this single table is already normalized and needs not to be replaced by two tables.

  • Brochure Design Question

    I have done a few simple bi and tri fold brochures.
    I would like to do a Z fold with a long rounded cut on the cover fold...
    Anyone have experience working with a print shop on this and how did they handle the cut?
    I know they do rounded corner business cards just fine, does this mean they will have the ability to pull off this cut as well?

    A cut like that will require a die.  It's an extra expense and you will have to create the die lines.  Printers should be able to let you know what they want and how they want it.  So, ask them first.  Show them what you want to do and they will help you.  On rare occasions, they may have a die cut already created that they can use for your design.

  • Design question about when to use inner classes for models

    This is a general design question about when to use inner classes or separate classes when dealing with table models and such. Typically I'd want to have everything related to a table within one classes, but looking at some tutorials that teach how to add a button to a table I'm finding that you have to implement quite a sophisticated tablemodel which, if nothing else, is somewhat unweildy to put as an inner class.
    The tutorial I'm following in particular is this one:
    http://www.devx.com/getHelpOn/10MinuteSolution/20425
    I was just wondering if somebody can give me their personal opinion as to when they would place that abstracttablemodel into a separate class and when they would just have it as an inner class. I guess re-usability is one consideration, but just wanted to get some good design suggestions.

    It's funny that you mention that because I was comparing how the example I linked to above creates a usable button in the table and how you implemented it in another thread where you used a ButtonColumn object. I was trying to compare both implementations, but being a newbie at this, they seemed entirely different from each other. The way I understand it with the example above is that it creates a TableRenderer which should be able to render any component object, then it sets the defaultRenderer to the default and JButton.Class' renderer to that custom renderer. I don't totally understand your design in the thread
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=57&threadID=680674
    quite yet, but it's implemented in quite a bit different way. Like I was saying the buttonClass that you created seem to be creating an object of which function I don't quite see. It looks more like a method, but I'm still trying to see how you did it, since it obviously worked.
    Man adding a button to a table is much more difficult than I imagined.

  • Using Muse for professional designing?

    hi everyone
    i'm new to the web design world, and i've came across Muse just this week while browsing for web design apps.
    Seems like its a good place to start.
    My question is, would it be really 'ok' if someone made website professionally with the help of Muse? I dont really know how to explain this, so i'll try my best.
    Lets say the website looks great, functions as needed etc etc, so aesthetically and functionality are as client wants.
    But if the client comes to know that it was not done by coding, but rather by using an aiding program, wouldnt that make you look less professional?
    I think its a bit like driving a manual transmission car vs an auto. When its manual it automatically gives you the impression that the driver must be better
    (which is not the case, since i myself drive both but prefer auto for pure commodity) but maybe the comparison helps you understand better what i mean.
    thnks

    It all depends on what the client needs, and the budget. A lot of small businesses don't need much more than a "brochure-ware" style web site. Muse is fine for that. There's lots of widgets and templates online to take care of many visual tricks or other important tasks.
    Sites that have to do more complex things, like have php scripts auto-generate pages from a database and perhaps even tie that into an online store, will have to be developed with a lot of code writing.
    I'm a graphic designer, not a computer programmer. But I'm trying to learn more and more about coding with HTML5, CSS3, Javascript, etc. just to improve my own skill sets. Lots of "graphic designer" job listings all call for competence in writing code. If a person is going to be self-employed as a web designer, he'll have to master coding at some point pretty quickly.

    Hi
    Please go to Settings-->Apps-->All and search for Pinyin.If you can't find the Pinyin input just download it from
    https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.inputmethod.pinyin
    Also you can use a third party keyboard like TouchPal and download whatever language you want..including Chinese handwriting or PinYin. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cootek.smartinputv5
    BTW.If you set Chinese as the system default language...Still can't use PinYin?

  • Need english firmware for Lenovo Ideatab A-3000-H quadcore

    Hello , 
    I cannot find Stock English firmware for Lenovo IDEATAB A-3000-H . I only found chinese firmware here.
    Cannot even find on support page.
    I tried installing google-apps but everything crashed too, gmail crashes , gtalk crashes , that sucks.
    Anyone have some success with A-3000-H?
    Thanks

    Hi svenjalell
    The Lenovo A3800-d is meant to be sold an used only in China.It's a China only model and as a consequence dosen't/won't have a official ROW (rest of the World) firmware.
    Chinese models are only in Chinese&English, don't have GAPPS/GMS(Google services like the Play Store/Not allowed in CN) and are full of Chinese apps.
    Unfortunately at the moment I'm not aware of a unofficial ''custom'' multilingual ROM/firmware for the A3800-D model.
    Also as far as I know the model is TD-SCDMA 3G/TD-LTE 4G = 3G/4G is meant to work only in CN with a certain local provider.That's why it's got the ''China Mobile'' logo on the back.
    I know this isn't the answer you were looking for but I haven't got a better one....
    ....Sorry.

  • 24" iMac for Graphic Design studio workstation?

    Hi there, I've been using macs since the early 90s for graphic design and have always bought their "professional" models, ie towers. These days it seems the line between iMacs and towers is getting a bit blurred... iMacs are pretty darn powerful. So I need to add a workstation to the design studio and am considering just getting a 24" iMac instead of a tower + apple display. I use Adobe CS2 apps (photoshop, indesign, illustrator, etc.) Rarely, I deal with 500meg layered photoshop images, but I don't do any sound/video stuff.
    So my big question... is the iMac good enough for a full time graphic designer's workstation or should I stick with a tower? The difference is over a $grand.
    G5 tower Mac OS X (10.4.8)

    The 24" iMac is a perfect match for a graphic designer.
    On the plus side, the large screen is actually 4 inches larger than the smallest Cinema Display (20"), meaning great value. Secondly, you have the small form factor and the conveinience of an all-in-one unit, and the RAM is extremely easy to upgrade, with a ceiling of 3GB; plenty to run Photoshop or Aperture. The Nvidia graphics card is very potent as well; a must for people working with high-res images.
    On the downside, you still won't get the sheer performance that a tower such as the Mac Pro will offer. You also won't get the expandability. You can't upgrade the graphics card in the iMac. You also can't upgrade the hard drive easily, and USB and firewire card upgrades (necessary to keep up with todays latest connection methods for digital cameras) are out of the question.
    The 24" iMac is superb. It will give you the horsepower to run even a small graphics design business. But if you are serious about graphic design as a career, still go for a tower. You will be glad you did. I wouldn't be surprised if you found yourself selling the iMac and upgrading your system 3 or 4 years from now. However, if you expect to upgrade in that time anyway, the iMac is a better value.
    Good Luck with your decision. I know you will be happy no matter which machine you choose!

  • Design question: Scheduling a Variable-timeslot Resource

    I originally posted this in general java programming, because this seemed like a more high-level design descussion. But now I see some class design questions. Please excuse me if this thread does not belong here (this is my first time using the forum, save answering a couple questions).
    Forum,
    I am having trouble determining a data structure and applicable algorithm (actually, even more general than the data structure -- the general design to use) for holding a modifiable (but more heavily read/queried than updated), variable-timeslot schedule for a given resource. Here's the situation:
    Let's, for explanation purposes, say we're scheduling a school. The school has many resources. A resource is anything that can be reserved for a given event: classroom, gym, basketball, teacher, janitor, etc.
    Ok, so maybe the school deal isn't the best example. Let's assume, for the sake of explanation, that classes can be any amount of time in length: 50 minutes, 127 minutes, 4 hours, 3 seconds, etc.
    Now, the school has a base operation schedule, e.g. they're open from 8am to 5pm MTWRF and 10am to 2pm on saturday and sunday. Events in the school can only occur during these times, obviously.
    Then, each resource has its own base operation schedule, e.g. the gym is open from noon to 5pm MTWRF and noon to 2pm on sat. and sun. The default base operation schedule for any resource is the school which "owns" the resource.
    But then there are exceptions to the base operation schedule. The school (and therefore all its resources) are closed on holidays. The gym is closed on the third friday of every month for maintenance, or something like that. There are also exceptions to the available schedule due to reservations. I've implemented reservations as exceptions with a different status code to simplify things a little bit: because the basic idea is that an exception is either an addition to or removal from the scheduleable times of that resource. Each exception (reservation, closed for maintenance, etc) can be an (effectively) unrestricted amount of time.
    Ok, enough set up. Somehow I need to be able to "flatten" all this information into a schedule that I can display to the user, query against, and update.
    The issue is complicated more by recurring events, but I think I have that handled already and can make a recurring event be transparent from the application point of view. I just need to figure out how to represent this.
    This is my current idea, and I don't like it at all:
    A TimeSlot object, holding a beginning date and ending date. A data structure that holds list of TimeSlot objects in order by date. I'd probably also hold an index of some sort that maps some constant span of time to a general area in the data structure where times around there can be found, so I avoid O(n) time searching for a given time to find whether or not it is open.
    I don't like this idea, because it requires me to call getBeginningDate() and getEndDate() for every single time slot I search.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    If I am correct, your requirement is to display a schedule, showing the occupancy of a resource (open/closed/used/free and other kind of information) on a time line.
    I do not say that your design is incorrect. What I state below is strictly my views and should be treated that way.
    I would not go by time-slot, instead, I would go by resource, for instance the gym, the class rooms (identified accordingly), the swimming pool etc. are all resources. Therefore (for the requirements you have specified), I would create a class, lets say "Resource" to represent all the resources. I would recommend two attributes at this stage ("name" & "identifier").
    The primary attribute of interest in this case would be a date (starting at 00:00hrs and ending at 24:00hrs.), a span of 24hrs broken to the smallest unit of a minute (seconds really are not very practical here).
    I would next encapsulate the availability factor, which represents the concept of availability in a class, for instance "AvailabilityStatus". The recommended attributes would be "date" and "status".
    You have mentioned different status, for instance, available, booked, closed, under-maintainance etc. Each of these is a category. Let us say, numbered from 0 to n (where n<128).
    The "date" attribute could be a java.util.Date object, representing a date. The "status", is byte array of 1440 elements (one element for each minute of the day). Each element of the byte array is populated by the number designation of the status (i.e, 0,1,2...n etc.), where the numbers represent the status of the minute.
    The "Resource" class would carry an attribute of "resourceStatus", an ordered vector of "ResourceStatus" objects.
    The object (all the objects) could be populated manually at any time, or the entire process could be automated (that is a separate area).
    The problem of representation is over. You could add any number of resources as well as any number of status categories.
    This is a simple solution, I do not address the issues of querying this information and rendering the actual schedule, which I believe is straight forward enough.
    It is recognized that there are scope for optimizations/design rationalization here, however, this is a simple and effective enough solution.
    regards

  • I can no longer use Photoshop for UI Design (PS CC + Retina display)

    Since I bought the new MacBook Pro with retina display, Photoshop can no longer be an option for user interface design.
    I'm runningn the last Photoshop CC update, and each file opens at 50% size compared to other standard displays, which makes working with old files frustrating. Besides, creating a new 1200 wide document to start a web design makes no sense (too small).
    - View > 200% isn't a solution, things look pixelated.
    - To increase the resolution from 72ppi to 220 (retina display) isn't a solution, it doesn't affect the document size
    - Working with a document with 2x size can't be a solution: I should create everything with a 2x size (stroke, shadows, even rounded corners), which would push PS even more far away from being a tool that can be used for UI design.
    Should we just expect that PS on a high-res display behave like that? I don't think so. Besides, the guys of Sketch App (a tool for UI design, that I'm currently working with) found a solution - the retina canvas option:
    You can choose to see bitmap images pixelated, but still the vectors will look exactly like on the browser. By choosing to see the document at the same size but with more details, retina users can enjoy the power of the new MacBook while working on UI design.
    Am I missing something? Should we expect this option in Photoshop too?

    It upsets me to see that this was initially posted almost a year ago and there was no answer. There also seems to be no answer to various other questions about the same issue. Adobe do you care? I am already guessing that Apple doesn't. I know that Adobe has been at the top of this industry. Time for someone else to compete? This is a highly frustrating issue for UI and web designers.
