Bad Treehugger!
July 30th, 2009I love Treehugger, but I have to say they did an ultimate fail with the following post.

Good way to drive up your page hits and annoy your subscribers. I really didn’t need to click through to find the answer: It’s psychological.
<3ing InDesign
July 22nd, 2009Things I love about InDesign:
– Placing a picture in a box defined for text (and vice versa).
– Redefine Style
– Quark shortcuts
I boo:
– The ability to place Photoshop files in InDesign (let’s confuse the printer even more?)
– Layered TIFs (okay, other than transparency, why???)
Moon Lighting
July 20th, 2009Saw part of a segment on Geraldo (who is a joke, by the way) on the Apollo 11 moon landing being a hoax, mostly based on photos and video clips that had some ambiguous imagery (stars not being present, shadows looking funky). I’m not going to rain on any conspiracy theorists parade for today’s anniversary, but I did find this clip on YouTube, and who doesn’t love MythBusters?

An unfortunate book title
July 6th, 2009The really sad thing is it’s a graphic design book.
