• The Day the Tech World Changed

    Stay hungry. Stay foolish. News came across the wire that Apple Inc.’s co-founder and former CEO Steve Jobs has passed on after a long battle with cancer. Exceptional brilliance has left us. No matter what you thought of Steve Jobs, love him or hate him, you have to admit that he was one of the [...]

  • Netflix to Qwikster: Consumers Still Lose

    For the record, I like the instant streaming on Netflix. I had no problem paying for the streaming and the DVD delivery that Netflix was going to force upon subscribers. Until today. By now, most people have heard the Netflix-Qwikster news. The second I read the news, I promptly brought up netflix.com and removed the [...]

  • Competition: The Department of Justice’s Weak Excuse To Stop the AT&T-Mobile Merger

    The news came out today that the U.S. Department of Justice has filed an antitrust lawsuit in the Federal court in Washington, D.C., to attempt to block the merger between AT&T and T-Mobile. “Any way you look at this transaction, it is anticompetitive,” says Sharis Pozen, an acting assistant attorney general. “Our action today seeks [...]

  • WhatTheFont: (Type)Facial Recognition

    As a designer, I have thousands of fonts floating around on my computers. It’s hard to keep track of them, let alone remember how each one looks. There are times when you see something and you KNOW you have the font, but you can’t place the name of the typeface. I had one of these [...]

  • Instagram: Floating Down Your Photo Stream

    I like to take photos. I dare say that most people do. While very few of us count ourselves in the “Professional Photographer” camp, there’s something about being able to freeze a moment in time. And it’s something that has become significantly easier with the advent of the cell phone camera. Being the iPhone 4 [...]

  • About Face: Apple to Allow 3rd Party Development Tools on iDevices; Publishing App Store Approval Processes

    I guess it was bound to happen. Apple released a statement today saying that there are some changes coming to the Developer Agreement for iOS Developers. Back in April, Apple had changed the agreement to only allow certain kinds of programming languages to be used for the creation of apps using the official Apple iOS [...]

  • Your Magazine’s Social: Flipboard

    There’s been a lot of talk about a new social media app for the iPad over the last few weeks. It’s great little app called Flipboard. The aim of the app is to take feeds from various news-related sites and your personal Twitter and Facebook feeds to create a print magazine-like presentation for the topics [...]

  • Ridiculous and Absurd: The Downfall of Newsweek Tech

    It’s Friday. Today, Apple CEO Steve Jobs held a press conference at Apple headquarters to discuss the iPhone 4 and all the negativity that’s been floating around the last few weeks. It’s been talked about since the iPhone 4 came out. The places where I’ve seen people with any clue about the situation with the [...]

  • The Creative Decline?

    I’ve seen this topic battered around the last few days and it’s been a interesting topic, especially as someone that works in a creative industry. Newsweek posted an article to their website entitled The Creativity Crisis, where they analyze research that claims that creativity in America is declining. Whyfor, you may ask? Pay No Attention [...]

  • Power/Pop: The Power of Popular Culture on Today’s Values

    In his book, Power/Knowledge, Michel Foucault discussed the ever-present nature of power and truth. In everything we do, there is some sort of power dynamic that is revealed in the course of our everyday lives. [1] One of the largest power dynamics that we deal with each day is also ever-present and all around us, [...]

As a designer, I have thousands of fonts floating around on my computers. It’s hard to keep track of them, let alone remember how each one looks. There are times when you see something and you KNOW you have the font, but you can’t place the name of the typeface. I had one of these situations yesterday. A client gave me a text “logo” that [...]

There are a few things that I really love in this world. Music is one of them. And so as I was roaming the halls of the Internet this week, I came across this week’s site, Atlantic Records. To be honest, I haven’t thought about record companies really since I lived in southern California, so when I came across Atlantic’s site, it was interesting to [...]

It’s been quite a while, so I figured that a good way to get back into posting things is to find a great Site of the Week. In our first time out for our return to posting is an agency in Toronto called Grip Limited. Interesting navigation. Overall, the site can seem a bit cluttered based on the concept of the design, but because of [...]
