Everyone has to make their own apple ad. New class requirement. Thanks Jo.

Here's a candidate for the Blue Staters and The Red Staters! The perfect blend of Hillary Clinton and George Bush. It's spooky how much this looks like a real politician isn't it? Well if Hillary and George had a baby...(shudder)...this is what it would look like!

What a great idea this is! Two designers, one lightbox of five or six images, one type-style, and a single concept. The designers come up with a single page layout and are judged over who came up with the best design. Check it out here! Veer Lightboxing Also from the folks at Veer, new movie coming to DVD is called Helvetica, the Film Can they make an interesting documentary about one of the most neutral, basic, sans-serif typefaces of all time? I can't wait to see, and I hope for Christmas I get the Helveticup!

I'm kind of excited about this little photoshop. The guy as Vader is John C. Malone. He made his money when he was one of the heads of TCI cable wich was sold to ATT for 58 billion. He is currently the head of Liberty Media, which owns Starz and Encore movie channels,Home Shopping Network and QVC, Ticketmaster, Lending Tree, Citysearch, and others. He also owns more stock in News Corp (which owns FOX) than anyone without the last name Murdoch, and he currently owns nearly as much stock in Time Warner as Ted Turner. He has the nickname "Darth Vader" because of his relentless business tactics, and travels the country frequently in a relatively modest Winnebago. He is a huge player in the media market, but stays away from the spotlight. Pretty interesting guy. Anyway, I'm including a paper about him in the magazine for my DMED120 class. I'll post the finished article later.

color on this one ain't quite right either.

photoshop project for my other DMED class. this is a work in progress to make a magazine layout. The text is red in the jpeg I made on my computer at home, but when I post here at blogger, it's coming out blue when I view it here. When I get to class tonight I'll check the color on a mac. Hmmmmm.
