“Class Description:

During this workshop on the basics of visual design best practices, we’ll examine examples and counter-examples of great design, the basics of layout, simplified color theory, rules for fonts and legibility, images and photographs, designing stamps vs. pages vs. slideshows vs. billboards, copyright and creative commons, and free and open source design tools (photo manipulation, illustration, layout, catalogs, and quick editors).

By the end of the program, you will:

* Find and evaluate web-based resources for great design
* Choose the best colors, layouts, fonts, and graphics for other design projects
* Respect copyrighted work by finding imagery and other materials that are freely and legally available
* Become inspired about your design projects
* Move beyond Word and Publisher to more sophisticated design tools”

Consumed: Fabulous Lives Just Full of Lonely People

Consumed is an intriguing 3-min. short film directed by Bradley Young, which features a socialite and model looking her most gorgeous and bored.  She vamps for the camera in a variety of stunning fashion ensembles and interesting tableaux, while the subway busker Luke Trumble croons St. Louis Blues in the background.  But there’s a sad and gritty undercurrent to the action that reminds us of what life in New York City is really like.  Yes, there is an abundance of glamorous things in the city, but often attaining them isn’t worth the trouble to get them.  Sometimes those fabulous parties are just full of very lonely people.

“We dance for laughter, we dance for tears, we dance for madness, we dance for fears, we dance for hopes, we dance for screams, we are the dancers, we create the dreams.”

Pablo was posing for me today. For some reason he likes posing when there’s a flash involved, even though he closes his eyes as the flash fired. When I try to take photos of him in natural light, he gets all snooty about it and walks away.

Cats are strange. But they’re also fluffy and cute, so it’s all good.

Miaow!

These photographs of ’spirits’ are taken from an album of photographs unearthed in a Lancashire second-hand and antiquarian bookshop by one of the Museum’s curators. They were taken by a controversial medium called William Hope (1863-1933). 

Born in 1863 in Crewe, Hope started his working life as a carpenter. In about 1905 he became interested in spirit photography after capturing the supposed image of a ghost while photographing a friend.

Last week I created a series of new product on zazzle using another photo from one of my hikes in the snow last winter. In this photo the pale blue winter sky is visible through the forest canopy, as the sun’s rays stream through the evergreens. Glistening drops of melting snow fall through the air toward the ferny forest floor covered in a light dusting of snow.

And just why you think the net was born?

Vintage Porn Logos is a 2-min. short film that’s a nicely edited blast from the past!  This little tribute to 1970’s porn movies is full of some hot and sexy quick shots of compromising situations.  That said, if you think that the logos are not the most interesting thing in porn movies, well, you ain’t gonna change your mind by watching this video.  But still, watch it!!

not my work.
Beautiful photograph here. The droplets really stand out, crystal clear. Amazing.

I am packing up my piece, “California Dreaming” which was purchased through the 140 Hours of Fame Twitter auction that ended last week.
It is going to a collector in Portland Oregon.

Now 140 Hours is having a new one day only auction on black Friday (day after Thanksgiving). My digitally manipulated photo “Herringbone Landscape” will be on the 24 hr. Twitter Art Auction LIVE at 11.27 at 12:00 pm. This piece was generated from a photo I took in Southern California of a canyon hillside. I substantially manipulated it including a reflecting technique that doubled it’s width so it is 12″ high by 24″ wide and printed on Kodak Silver Halide Supra Endura glossy photographic paper.

More later,
Len

Ich finde es sogar besser als das Orginal … traurig aber wahr.

Patty’s building has been there as long as I can remember. Back in the 60’s it was a Chow Now and across the steet was Mellows drive-in. Rosie and I would hang out at Mellows in my ‘57 Chevy. That was the cool place on Orchard, plus they had the best Dr Pepper. Mellows , the Frost Top, and most old time drive-ins are gone. We are lucky to still have a piece of our past in Patty’s Burger Time. I don’t have a photo of Mellows, so if you have one send it to me, please.In the next few weeks I am going to start a new category on drive-ins, so stay tuned. The photo is me , Rosie and the ‘57 taken at Boise High 1968.

The Pack out , Red Steer, Big Bun , The Viking, Artic Circle, A&W ,vWest Side, The Pen In. We made the rounds to all of them. As a little kid my parents took me to Nampa’s TooT and Tell, I would really like to have a photo of that.

This campaign is live across the US at the moment!
Neil Duerden created this as a major style shift for Kraft to link their cracker-like products with the Super Bowl.
As you can see, the final version was a clear and precise execution of the brief (unlike Neil’s usual work, created to a depth of illustration seldom seen)… cheesetastic!
