Get ready for the *New* MacPros... Nov 13, 07, 8:04 a.m.

... because I'm about to buy one of the current ones.

Always happens...

Anyway, anyone know if Apple plans on introducing new displays in place of the current ones? Seems like that 30" has been available for a while now... seems like a change is a comin'.

Site searching... Nov 12, 07, 12:34 p.m.

This might be somewhat random and vague but I thought I'd ask here since most of you are quite knowledgeable. :)

There use to be a site. (possible site is)... not sure if it was a portfolio site or some design studio... it had this screen of these black/dark grey circles that fell from the top of the site... they filled up the screen. Then when the bottom ones would pop or be removed, the ones on top would fill the empty space.

Does this site ring any bells? I'm interested in this motion and wanted to talk to the person who created it to get their thoughts.

All help appreciated. I hope I explained this well enough...

MediaTemple Icons Oct 13, 07, 1:49 p.m.

Anyone know who designed the Mediatemple website? Well... I'm more curious about who designed the icons that are used in the designs...

Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance...

Saving Photoshop CS3 to CS2? Sep 4, 07, 7:51 a.m.

A client of mine is having issues opening Photoshop files I sent over to him. He says when he tries to open the files he gets an error that states there will be "missing information" from certain layers.

It doesn't look like there is an option to save to CS2... just kinda confused as to what I should do. I never ran into this problem using the CS3 BETA version...

This is probably old... Aug 11, 07, 8:42 a.m.

but I'm not digging the design of the IHT homepage. It's taken a big step backwards in regards to interface functionality and aesthetics, IMHO.

Thoughts?

(I'll probably get hit with a timeline... not sure when this redesign took place or who did it)

Any clues?

Identity Gurus Aug 7, 07, 7:09 p.m.

What studios out there (worldwide) are producing the best/most effective identity work? Who has the best portfolio of work... quality and quantity?

Newspaper Logotypes Aug 5, 07, 3:39 p.m.

Is there an resource (website preferably, but book is fine as well) that collects good examples of Newspaper logotypes (ie... New York Times, Washington Post, Columbus Dispatch, Seattle Times, etc...)

Photoshop Layers Palette Question Aug 5, 07, 9:58 a.m.

If you have a file with 20+ folders (each folder containing several elements) and they are all open, is there a way to close them all at once... instead of manually closing them one by one?

Handwritten Fonts Aug 1, 07, 5:38 a.m.

I remember a while back seeing a site that would take your handwriting and convert it to a typeface. Anyone know who does this?

Also, any suggestions on where to look for handwritten fonts? I've found several places, just trying to do a more thorough search. Kinda going for that "highschool girl" font... maybe with some little hearts dotting the "i" (god... I can't believe I'm actually asking for this).

All help greatly appreciated... trying to make a client happy. (all right... it's for me... I admit it...)

Business Projector Recommendations Jul 29, 07, 2:58 p.m.

Hey all... I'm in the market for a new projector so we can effectively drive presentations without having to rely on old, crappy client projectors. Has anyone made a purchase like this recently? Any thoughts? Recommendations? Are there particular things I should focus on when looking for one?

All help is greatly appreciated.

btw... midrange budget. Nothing to fancy! I gotta eat as well!

Logo Critique Jul 7, 07, 6:14 a.m.

I expect you'll be honest... most of you typically are. Thought I'd give you a shot.... wanted to get your thoughts on this logo "enhancement". Budget was super small so we agreed to only do smaller enhancements... utilizing the same font or something similar and play with the tag-line placement.

Ink or Graphite Portraits May 20, 07, 6:20 a.m.

Anyone have any links to more current stats?

Indesign *?* Apr 24, 07, 5:48 p.m.

Does anyone know if it's possible to change the orientation of one page within a multiple page Indesign document? IE... a 20 page document set at 8.5X11, one of the 20 pages set at 11X8.5.

Is it possible? If so, how?

New York based hourly rates? Apr 8, 07, 5:31 a.m.

So... all you fellow designers... got any idea what your companies bill your skillz at?? Trying to get an idea what the average might be. Just design... no IA or development... strictly visual.
