Ted Alspach

While there, he founded and published a school magazine there, The Grand Tham, funded entirely by local business advertisements.

During this time, Alspach designed two popular typefaces: RansomNote and LeftyCasual, the latter of which has been used for branding for Comedy Central, Pixar, and Levi Strauss & Co. As a result of developing training curriculum, Alspach began writing reviews and how-to articles for magazines such as MacAddict and Macworld.

He published his first book, The Macworld Illustrator Bible, in 1995, which contained a foreword written by Pierre Bézier.

Over the next several years, Alspach wrote more than 30 books on graphics and desktop publishing, including the bestselling Illustrator For Dummies series.

His 2015 title One Night Ultimate Werewolf was on the Spiel des Jahres Recommended list due to its revolutionary app integration.
