joshua davis bashing by CR Jul 29, 09, 11:03 p.m.

"Dyson’s neoliberal cheerleading was followed by the juvenile, whooping intro of interactive designer Joshua Davis. As he bounced around the stage professing a love for skate boarding, skydiving and tattoos, it seemed as though TYPO Berlin had been hijacked by the worst kinds of American. Davis’s zeal and gags quickly won over the crowd, though the work reminded me why his Praystation website is no longer one of my bookmarks. Created by software algorithms, the stills betrayed their stale, technocratic origins. This generative ‘art’ seemed better suited to screensavers or abstract desktops than canvases – a fact confirmed by Davis’s own Reflect app for the iPhone."

anyone here working with their partner? Jul 26, 09, 10:13 p.m.

I've been married for 10+ years now, and me and my wife have been working together for the past 7 or so years (we're both designers). Seems to work out fine most of the time, although I do spend quite a bit of time at night in local bars - to give each other some space, eh :)
Most people think I'm crazy (which to some extent is true), they can't bear the thought of working together full time with their partner. Anyone else here who works with their partner, and if so, how's that working out for you?

resigned today May 3, 10, 9:35 p.m.

Screw Singapore, it's time to move on.

wanted: belgian agency Mar 8, 07, 2:22 a.m.

since we are moving abroad, we are looking for a belgian agency/freelancer to take over one of our clients. Its an Antwerp fashion house, so relevant experience is welcome. "what if" was already contacted but they declined because they are working for a competing fashion house... any other suggestions?

AOL logo a rip off? Apr 30, 10, 8:26 a.m.

found this article yesterday,
http://www.welove72.com/blog/201…
Apparently, Why Not Associates created a logo concept in 1999 for OM Group (unused, but published nevertheless), that looks exactly the same as the "new" AOL branding by Wolff Olins.
Pretty blatant, if you ask me. Thoughts?

Packaging looked like it was marketed towards 8yo japanese girls..

future of photography? Sep 23, 10, 9:05 p.m.

After giving a brief demonstration during the keynote address at Nvidia’s GPU Technology Conference, Adobe went into more detail about computational photography using plenoptic lenses, a method of taking pictures so that any part of a photo can be brought into focus after the fact.

While the technology is still a good ways from being commercialized, it’s an interesting look into the future of photography.

By using a bunch of tiny lenses and some rendering software, users will be able to select what they want in focus, even after the photo has been taken. This technology will let users create 3D images on the fly as well.

Discuss..

Yup, done, finished.

"The current owners of Adventures in Publishing (the company which publishes Grafik) have decided to liquidate the company, so unfortunately we are unable to print the magazine for the foreseeable future.

Subscribers and creditors will receive a letter from the administrators shortly.

The editorial team would like to thank everyone who has supported Grafik over the years, and especially during what has been a very difficult time for the publishing business."

.dav files Aug 10, 10, 8:37 p.m.

anyone know how to convert or watch .dav files on a mac? It's the file format for CCTV cameras. Google was not very helpful and I didn't find anything in the video apps on the Apple downloads site... Anyone? Got footage of an accident my daughter had and need to show it to some friends with a legal background.
