personal logo crit Dec 3, 08, 9:51 a.m.

No serif, serif, or notch? not happy with the serif or notch yet, but I want to draw the eye up against the gradient with a visible termination point... haven't slept in 25 hours so that might be babbling.

Adbusters flag contest Dec 3, 08, 1:53 a.m.

Deadline extended to Friday: http://www.adbusters.org/campaig…

"These are real targets, worthy of our problem-solving skills, ripe for our intervention. Yet those who have the vision to rise above national and political boundaries still have no symbol to rally under. We invite you to create a flag – free from language and well-worn clichés – that embodies the idea of global citizenship. A symbol that triggers pride and cohesion, whether worn on a backpack, displayed on a door, or flown on a flagpole. A symbol for anyone to declare membership in a growing and vital human cooperative. We invite you to prove that design has a real role to play in the fate of our world."

I really hope the few in the slideshow aren't the only entries...

Canada-EU FTA secrecy Sep 22, 08, 3:46 p.m.

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/s…

Harper refuses to release the details of the agreement to the public, but of course he got Big Business' approval first. The talks happen 3 days after the election and he doesn't want us knowing we could end up with European companies running our public services.

Harper's platform in 2006 included promising open discussion and voting on big-deal treaties, so what's changed?

photo-based portfolios Aug 25, 08, 12:47 p.m.

Portfolio sites are full of fancy photos of business cards at fun angles, posters held up by their corners, dramatic lighting and angles, things folded, etc...

Does anyone put those photos in their hardcopy portfolios instead of the printed pieces themselves? Have you ever opened someone's book and found photos of prints instead of prints?

Leopard+CS2=No Shortcuts Aug 21, 08, 2:31 p.m.

That's the problem I just discovered two days after upgrading to 10.5.4; Illustrator CS2 shortcuts don't work. Has anyone else run into this and know how to fix it?

Mac + Canon printer? Jul 30, 08, 12:29 p.m.

I know it's a long shot but has anyone here had any success getting a Canon Multipass (the scanner/printer/fax/floor polisher line) to work with a Mac? Google gave me nothing except other people looking for the same help.

mac ram upgrade Jul 28, 08, 6:49 a.m.

I want to upgrade the ram in my mb pro (1 gig to 3) before upgrading to Leopard; can you recommend a third party brand that won't crap out or catch fire?

Bell: 15¢ to receive txt msg! Jul 8, 08, 2:03 p.m.

Cellphone users with Bell and Telus are going to have to fork over a little more to receive incoming text messages under new pricing plans slated to roll out in August.

Under the new plans, customers will be charged 15 cents to receive incoming text messages, including uninvited spam messages. Previously, customers without text plans were only charged for outgoing messages.

Customers with a text messaging rate plan or bundle will not be affected by the new charges.

Bell's new pricing plan takes effect on Aug. 8, while Telus will begin charging customers for messages on Aug. 24.

Spokespeople for Bell and Telus were not immediately available for comment.

InDesign ghost lines Jun 17, 08, 8:59 a.m.

InDesign CS3 is producing these ghost outlines on text and image frames when I print to PDF, and then when I print the PDF it shows up on the paper as a slight colour tint overlapping the background, other images, or merging with the outline tint of other text/images.
