Posts Tagged ‘Graphic Design’

I am a subscriber to a Desktop Publishing Newsletter at About​.Com that is written by Jacci Howard Bear. Today’s article discussed a recent article by Smashing Magazine about Instant Gratification literally killing Good Design. That shouldn’t be a big surprise.

While I don’t think that anything will change, there are some inter­esting thoughts for us graphics people and it was worth going to the link at Smashing Magazine. I’d also suggest that the Desktop Publishing Newsletter has some very solid ideas — so sign up. 

If you have time that is…

Have to figure out how to upload some of my new NextGEN Galleries…

I found some software yesterday and downloaded it for a spin. Nothing too fancy but actually quite pleasant to use. That’s right. I just created this theme for WP myself. It was very inter­esting going through all of the various framework. To make a long story short — I’m a designer and Art Director — not a php kind of guy.

So — locating this was a good thing for me. It was adver­tised on AlexKing​.org in a little banner in the article about the people at Crowd Favorite updating all of the Carrington themes. That was really amazing to read that. I have plenty of graphics — both illus­tration and photog­raphy as well as Graphic Design. Now I can get this stuff to work together instead of trying to get every­thing to fit the hard way.

“Now I can get this stuff to work together instead of trying to get every­thing to fit the hard way. I shot the moon with my Olympus on a tripod with a telephoto lens and a variety of different timings.”

This is all working a lot smoother than I’d imagined that it would’ve. That’s good. I had a techni­cally oriented family member once tell me that I’d never be able to edit any PHP code. Well that’s fine with me. I’d much rather just work on my pictures. Speaking of pictures — The sky tonight at maybe 9:00 or 9:30 PM was lit up contin­ually by lightning.  No really close crashes but some nice bass sub-woofer action — Wow. Sue was working on a project for work and I was afraid that perhaps the lights might blink out during the storm but instead all kept going fine. I’ll keep working on my theme.

Thanks for reading -
