Icon
A simplified graphic element created to suggest an idea or topic is called an icon. Icons are used to categorize
and index ideas and content.
Indent
The most common indent is at the beginning of a paragraph when the first line is “set-in” from the left edge of the column. An indent can be placed on the left side only (as in paragraph beginnings) or on the left and right sides of copy (when a block of text needs to be set apart from the rest of the paragraph).
ITC
This is the abreviation for International Typographic Corporation, which licenses many of the typefaces used in computerized graphic design. ITC fonts are identical to the typefaces used on phototypesetting equipment and based on the original “hot type” font designs. They are considered higher quality typographic forms because they have retained their letterform integrity through the years and are more reliable when transferred from computer to outputting devices.
Italic
Italic is the slanting of a serif type.
Indicia Postage permit located on the upper right corner of an envelope which is pre-printed and requires no postage stamp.
Inside Side Seam Seam construction on Catalog or Booklet envelope where the seam glues beneath the back panel.
