Miami! Jun 29, 11, 1:43 p.m.

Going to be swinging through Miami near the end of July for some business stuff, think we're going to stay at the Standard — I know there's probably a few dozen threads about this, but I'm making a fresh one. Where should we eat / drink / sightsee?
2 days only.

Calles?

LA May 18, 11, 4:58 p.m.

Optical Margins ID4 Nov 11, 10, 2:42 p.m.

Hi everyone, I'm working on a book design currently, and there may be a simple fix to this, but I'm struggling with the optical margins.

The thing is, I have 2 seperate quote sizes, which are drastically different point sizes. I've set the optical margins for the document to accomodate the small 9pt quotes, but when I have my large 22pt quotes, the quotation marks are obviously still within the realms of the 9pt optical margin. Is there any way to do separate optical margins for separate paragraph styles?

Thanks in advance.

Revision E-mails Sep 20, 10, 3:41 p.m.

I hate them. The hot rage builds up inside of me whenever I get the "This looks fantastic! But.." followed by an itemized list of painful changes. I've been doing this for a long time, yet somehow, it still pisses me off every time.

Cute Illustrations Sep 14, 10, 4:59 p.m.

Hey all, I'm illustrating some characters for a current project, but I have such a hard time iillustrating something that looks cute, and not a little on the creepy side. Any links to illustrators who have great style, with characters that are just really cute and not at all eerie? Need some reference material.

Thanks!

I'll be in New York in early October, who wants to meet up?! (I will feel great if either a. nobody answers, or b. people ask, "who the fuck are you again?")

This is a very specific post. I am working on a re-brand for a restaurant / bar. I really want to bring a classic, vintage feel to it all. Gold and black window lettering etc etc. Anyone have any old favorites?

There's people living in the neighboring barges, guilty of assorted compliments and charges; like the one-eyed cyclist who never wears any socks: he covers his mouth when he talks. His name is Rene, they say he's a communist, there's something about his demeanor that's ominous. Gord with his card tricks escaped from the row, his mouth is always in the shape of an "o". His brother is locked up and he awaits his release, he talks about politics and hates the police - linda doesn't have long to live probably, she's wicked and used to read palms for a hobby. She came to visit one night and just sat there, she laughed the whole night, her clothes covered in cat hair. Audrey wears two watches at one time, he's missing a thumb, and nobody knows why. He's not the best ventriloquist in the world, but he wants to be, he's an excellent dancer and smokes reefer constantly. Big fat Nigel works as a florist, he's openly gay and looks like a tourist. He's very polite, with a good sense of humor, he's heir to a fortune - or at least that's the rumor. Washed up and wounded, we are the recycled, earthy, sleazy and seaworthy.

I seem to remember there being a series of covers that use the iconic "T" interpreted by various artists / designers... Am I crazy? Is that collection somewhere?

premiere cs4 video aspect ratio resize Nov 28, 09, 7:58 p.m.

Hey all.

Hope saturday is going swimmingly.

I'm trying to resize a video, more specifically, I'm trying to change the aspect ratio, so I can crop it and use a specific area (minus the black bars of a regular 4:3 ratio) I'm working to make this a full screen flash video, and I'm super n00b at premiere. I'm sure this is either a) Impossible or b) Stupid easy. I'm on a trip, so my internet is in and out, so QBN seemed easier than using the adobe help site.

Anyone care to lend a hand?

Ever had one? How long do you wait until you get the cops involved... The Blue One, I feel like you might be able to share some expertise in this situation.

What have I missed? Oct 15, 09, 1:02 a.m.

After quitting my job and going freelance, I've been busy. Drinking a lot of wine. Getting contracts, going out for dinner, walking by the ocean, working, sleeping, sexing. You know, all these "life" things.

It's been a while folks. Tell me, what have I missed?
