- Perspectives in Computing was published by IBM Corporation from October 1980 until spring 1988.
- Joan Musgrave, art director of IBM Corporate Technical Publications, participated in a case study on the layout of IBM's corporate technical publications, funded by HELL GmbH, at the Visible Language Workshop, Media Laboratory, MIT. She also conducted a design workshop on the covers for Perspectives in Computing at the VLW. There are written transcriptions, tape recordings, and videotape recordings of the sessions.

- One of the assignments of the art director of IBM Corporate Technical Publications was to redesign these publications to improve readability and enhance their visual attractiveness. The redesign work was done with a specific deadline. Originally, color printing for both publications was done only on their covers, and the IBM Systems Journal was much smaller in size. In the redesign, new grids were established, different type fonts were chosen, color was introduced to the inside of the publications, and the size of the IBM Systems Journal was changed. The IBM Systems Journal was redesigned in 1983, and the IBM Journal of Research and Development was redesigned in 1984. Joan Musgrave received awards from the Society for Technical Communications for both of these redesigns. She also received an IBM Corporate Division Award for the design of the IBM Systems Journal.

- Antialiasing is the apparent smoothing-out of the "jagged" appearance of curved or angled lines or edges as they are displayed on a raster display screen, by any of several methods. One approach is to blur the edge by adding pixels of shades averaged between the object and the background colors.
