My old school is opening a franchise in Kazakhstan. That's unexpected.

Adobe CS3 Icons
Posted on January 17, 2007
Ryan Hicks answers Veerle's questions about designing Adobe's new icon set, the scope of which has expanded enormously since their acquistion of Macromedia.
A look at the dock shows a definite move towards the established Macromedia icon style; with 40-odd applications to cover, it would be difficult to continue the current Adobe icon approach. The "periodic table" style seems to me to be a good solution. Applications keep their established colours, (putting Freehand closer to Photoshop than Illustrator!). I initially looked for some deeper meaning in the colour-coding...
Acrobat and Flash, arguably the two most established, recognised and wide-spread Adobe technologies, keep their symbols - almost certainly wise exceptions.
What if...

What if.... A great blog of marketing ideas, nicely illustrated. Worth a post.

5 Things
Posted on January 12, 2007
The Swissmiss tagged me a while back with this. Been busy recently, so I haven't has time. Until now.
So here goes. Five things you probably don't know about me:
I got my first job as a web designer without ever having sent an email, in a country where I didn't speak the language. It's been downhill ever since.
However, my baptism of fire in this biz was putting together a part hand-drawn, part 3D animated film on a 120 MHz PowerMac 8200 (Europe-only, I think) using InfiniD, Photoshop, Fractal Painter, and Avid. I scanned each frame individually (scanners where slow in those days). Rendering was even slower. (The film was subsequently shown at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival, and the International Animation Festival in Cardiff.)
I can field strip an SA80 with my eyes closed.
I've never set foot in South America or Antartica.
My strangest job to date was as the life guard at a sewage treatment plant. Seriously. My skills went untested.
I'm passing the baton to AceJet, Ray Frendon, and of course Kibitz, if they want it.
Heelllloooo!
