Communication Model
Introduction
This document aims to serve as an example of using styles and formatting for
submissions to the III Meeting of Typography: http://www.esmae-ipp.pt/3et
Papers can not contain elements, marks and formatting that identify the author, in
order to be assessed impartially by the elements of scientific and technical committee.
For this, the authors should always use the structure (of styles) and formatting
available. This structure will not only ensure exemption, but will also allow for the
collection, formatting and design of the proceedings publication1.
Styles and text formatting
Here we describe the key features and attributes of formatting styles, as summarized
in the last section of this part of the document (Summary of formatting styles).
Heading 1, 2 e 3 (Communication Structure and Sections)
Shall be used the available styles in this document (Heading 1, 2 and 3) to structure
your text.
Heading 1 is reserved for the title of the paper. Formatted as Times New Roman,
Bold, 24 pt, black, with the spacing between rows of +1.5 lines and with a spacing of
one line at the end of the paragraph.
Heading 2 allow you to split the logical parts of your communication as the
Introduction, Background and Conclusions (for example). These are also formatted as
Times New Roman, Bold, 18 pt, black, with the spacing between rows +1.5 lines.
They use a spacing of one line before and at the end of paragraphs.

references also in the body text to identify them.
