Bio
I'm Catherine, a graphic designer in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. I live in the basement of a nice house with a boy and a rabbit.

"Knockout – When a graphic object is placed over another, for example text over a tint area, and the colors of the text and the background are not intended to mix, space is knocked out for the text. A hole the same shape as the text is knocked out in the tint area and the text is printed on an unprinted (paper white) surface." From A Guide to Graphic Print Production, 2nd Ed.

"Knockout mice contain the same, artificially introduced mutation in every cell, abolishing the activity of a preselected gene. The resulting mutant phenotype (appearance, biochemical characteristics, behaviour etc.) may provide some indication of the gene’s normal role in the mouse, and by extrapolation, in human beings. Knockout mouse models are widely used to study human diseases caused by the loss of gene function." From The Wellcome Trust.
