T-shirt and poster design -- Heroes for Babies. (Good News!) NASA Space Shuttle (Discovery, Atlantis, Endeavour, Columbia, Challenger, Enterprise) Composite Pictures eBook by Luming Marr is published for Kindle eReader, iPhone and PC. For more information, please go to www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?u rl=node%3D133141011&field-keywords=space +shuttle+composite+pictures&x=15&y=20 (Kindle store) and search for “Luming Marr”. To parents and teachers: this eBook is a great education tool to inspire the imagination and interest of Science and Discovery to your young children and students and share the laugh with them in the same time. Thank you very much! This graphic design was created by Luming Marr on October 27, 2009. Please note the background color is the color of the shirt, so this particular picture is for a light blue shirt. This design has three colors plus the background color, when printing on a T-shirt, the background color is not printed. We salute to those people who work hard for the benefits and welfare of babies. I usually use Photoshop software to create composite pictures, however, I decided to try my hand to do graphic design by using Photoshop. It could be better if I were using Adobe Illustrator software, but I didnt have time to learn Illustrator, so I used Photoshop, which is the tool I am familiar with. By the way, some people told me that Microsoft Power Point is also good for doing graphic design. This design is especially suitable for people who participate in all the fund-raising activities, such as March of Dimes, to get money for conducting research work of baby diseases or helping sick babies getting treatment, somebody could even treat my design as the blue print to build a real wooden horse baby carriage with the special Heroes plate handle and pull the carriage during the walk or parade activities. Such a carriage-pulling with real babies sitting on the wooden horse event would certainly cause a public sensation and become the focus of newspaper and TV reporters coverage. Who knows, the pictures could even appear on the front page of major newspapers.

Coke Side of Life: Coca-Cola Art Remix

Ancient Egyptians began bowling in about 5200 B.C. German and British people also enjoyed the game, but it was the Dutch settlers who brought their version of “Dutch pins” to America in the 16th century. They played their games in the middle of Manhattan, which is still sometimes referred to as the “Bowling Green.” Originally a nine-pin game, bowling in New York attracted some shady characters and was eventually outlawed; in order to get around the gambling laws that prohibited it, alley owners simply added another pin. And the rest is history.
Lumbered with the Fred Flintstone image for years, tenpin bowling has recently found a retro-cool status among the young and the fashionable.
If you travel to Atlanta, hometown of ‘Coca-Cola’, you should check out the new Ten Pin Alley in Atlantic Station. The place is owned by cool cats Ashton Kutcher and Wilmer Valderrama, servers wear vintage-inspired bowling shirts and the dj plays very groovy tunes. So ‘pick a cherry’ and ‘hammer the pocket’. Fabulous atmosphere and a guaranteed good time!
For all the bowlin’ lovers out there: here you can see an original ‘Coca-Cola’ poster from the forties plus the Remix version. Enjoy!

This gouache was originally commissioned by Harper’s Bazaar magazine for its February 1939 issue.

for the last few months i was wondering about doing a printed experimental zine, something different from what i do day to day. i started looking for zines and alternative magazines here in Berlin and even found a book focused on that.

this is Neuanfänge, OITO's first edition, something i made in a few lazy hours on a monday morning. the idea here was to go freestyle and mix typography with noise and dirty based on what i was listening to, reading and watching on tv the days before. so, a mixture of Baroness, Frank Höhne, David Carson and A Scanner Darkly came to my mind and that came out.

The City of Grand Haven has won the 2010 Community Excellence Award in a statewide vote of Michigan Municipal League members. The annual statewide competition recognizes outstanding community services, projects and programs. It’s the highest award bestowed on a community by the Michigan Municipal League. Seven finalists – one from each of the League’s seven regions – were chosen as inspiring examples of what Michigan communities can accomplish through dynamic leadership, creative vision and collaborative effort. Grand Haven (http://www.grandhaven.org/news/84/198/) was selected by popular vote in the Race for the Cup competition during the League’s 112th Annual Convention Sept. 21-24 in Dearborn. Grand Haven won for its creative graphic design to communicate its annual city goals. Grand Haven's entry, "Vivid and Lively Goals," beat out six other regional winners to claim the Michigan Municipal League's Community Excellence Award. The city's entry emphasized the importance of effective communication of the city council's goals to city staff. Mary Snedeker, an administrative assistant with the city, produces a vivid image of the city's goals, which is framed and hung in all of the city's departments. The purpose of the initiative is to continually remind staff of the council's direction and help measure progress toward the goals. Snedeker accepted the award along with numerous other Grand Haven officials including, Grand Haven Mayor Roger A. Bergman; Grand Haven City Manager Pat McGinnis; and Grand Haven Mayor Pro Tem Mike Fritz. The other six statewide finalists were the lakefront city of Harbor Beach for rebranding itself with an annual Maritime Festival that draws thousands of people to Michigan’s thumb each summer; Monroe for turning an old, deserted industrial site into a new national park that now serves as a prominent city entryway; Saginaw for implementing a recycling program that dramatically reduced landfill waste in just two months; the Village of Kingsley for building a state-of-the-art .3 million library and municipal center without raising local taxes; East Lansing’s for its Technology Innovation Center that has become an incubator for technology-based businesses by offering space and resources for technology start-ups; and St. Ignace for forging a unique partnership of private, state and federal entities, to develop a new bus station for a public transit network linking the region to the entire state. Read a Muskegon Chronicle story about Grand Haven’s win: www.mlive.com/news/muskegon/index.ssf/2010/09/grand_haven...

Other regional nominees that did not make the list of seven finalists but still were strong projects were Howell’s street and walkway improvements; Garden City’s regional fire service; Eastpointe’s police and community multicultural program; DeWitt’s open access playground; Kentwood’s district library; Evart’s “Shop Local” campaign; Rothbury’s ethics policy; Marshall’s after-school arts apprenticeship program; Sturgis’ Helping Hand program; Baraga’s “Super Supplier Network” of local businesses; and L’Anse’s MEDC/MDOT collaboration.
Don’t forget to tell the Michigan Municipal League (mml.org) about a project in your community that you’re excited about, by nominating it for next year’s competition. Go here for details: www.mml.org/awards/cea.html.

The City of Grand Haven has won the 2010 Community Excellence Award in a statewide vote of Michigan Municipal League members. The annual statewide competition recognizes outstanding community services, projects and programs. It’s the highest award bestowed on a community by the Michigan Municipal League. Seven finalists – one from each of the League’s seven regions – were chosen as inspiring examples of what Michigan communities can accomplish through dynamic leadership, creative vision and collaborative effort. Grand Haven (http://www.grandhaven.org/news/84/198/) was selected by popular vote in the Race for the Cup competition during the League’s 112th Annual Convention Sept. 21-24 in Dearborn. Grand Haven won for its creative graphic design to communicate its annual city goals. Grand Haven's entry, "Vivid and Lively Goals," beat out six other regional winners to claim the Michigan Municipal League's Community Excellence Award. The city's entry emphasized the importance of effective communication of the city council's goals to city staff. Mary Snedeker, an administrative assistant with the city, produces a vivid image of the city's goals, which is framed and hung in all of the city's departments. The purpose of the initiative is to continually remind staff of the council's direction and help measure progress toward the goals. Snedeker accepted the award along with numerous other Grand Haven officials including, Grand Haven Mayor Roger A. Bergman; Grand Haven City Manager Pat McGinnis; and Grand Haven Mayor Pro Tem Mike Fritz. The other six statewide finalists were the lakefront city of Harbor Beach for rebranding itself with an annual Maritime Festival that draws thousands of people to Michigan’s thumb each summer; Monroe for turning an old, deserted industrial site into a new national park that now serves as a prominent city entryway; Saginaw for implementing a recycling program that dramatically reduced landfill waste in just two months; the Village of Kingsley for building a state-of-the-art .3 million library and municipal center without raising local taxes; East Lansing’s for its Technology Innovation Center that has become an incubator for technology-based businesses by offering space and resources for technology start-ups; and St. Ignace for forging a unique partnership of private, state and federal entities, to develop a new bus station for a public transit network linking the region to the entire state.

FF Tisa • A Perfect Typeface for Magazines
-----------

Designed by Mitja Miklavčič, initially created in 2006 to fulfill the requirements for the MA in Typeface Design, University of Reading, Department of Typography and Graphic Communication. Versions released in June '08 for FSI FontShop International: Regular, Italic, Medium, Medium Italic, Bold, Bold italic. Selected by the TDC judges to receive the Certificate of Excellence in Type Design for the year 2007.


A typeface for magazines

FF Tisa is a typeface created while studing in the MA Typeface Design course at the University of Reading. The typeface was primarily created for use in various magazines that are either printed by web-fed offset or gravure printing techniques. Nevertheless, the typeface can also be successfully used in other printed media, such as newspapers, annual reports etc.

It is rather hard to define the characteristics of a ‘conventional magazine typeface’ and how a magazine typeface differs from other groups of typefaces, particularly from newspaper typefaces. In many ways the closest relative to a magazine typeface is a newspaper typeface. The text length should be fairly close, although in magazines articles tend to be shorter and more frequently interrupted by other elements on the page, such as illustrations or photographs. On the other hand newspapers tend to look more and more like magazines.

However a magazine typeface doesn’t necessarily need the rough character of a newspaper typeface. The reason may lie in printing technology differences. Magazines are often printed on different kind of web-fed offset presses using paper of better quality and different types of printing ink. On the other hand, quite a significant number of magazines are printed with gravure printing. Gravure printing is principally used for very long print. A detailed description of this old and interesting printing technique would go beyond the subject of this showing. But one has to be familiar with the key peculiarity of gravure printing: everything, including letterforms, is ‘rasterized’.

In order to meet the technological and aesthetic requirements of magazine use a typeface with a relatively low contrast and fairly pronounced serifs was designed. From this point of view a group of typefaces usually labelled as Slab serifs or Egyptians (or sometimes Egyptiennes) was chosen as a model. Slab serifs normally have a rather solid style and somewhat simplified character. They were traditionally used in newspaper printing and were a good choice for a suitable typeface in early typewriters. Many typefaces from this group also have a relatively large x-height, which is advantageous for newspapers and magazines. The main goal of this project was to design a softer and a more dynamic version of a slab serif typeface. The idea was to create a typeface that would have good legibility in text sizes while showing interesting characteristics when used in larger sizes.


Basic characteristics

FF Tisa is a low contrast slab serif typeface. It is an attempt to create a contemporary version of the nineteenth century woodtype slab serif typefaces. Some ‘humanist’ characteristics, such as asymmetric serifs and slightly oblique stress, might make it easier to read in longer texts. Due to its low stroke contrast FF Tisa is also surprisingly legible in small sizes and works fine in demanding printing techniques, such as gravure printing or low resolution laser printing. FF Tisa has a relatively large x-height which makes it suitable for use in publications such as magazines or newspapers. Small caps are visibly taller compared to lowercase letters, and can be used effectively in emphasizing parts of text.


Italics

The italic version was not primarily created to have the role of emphasising - it is more a secondary typeface to the regular version. From this reason a fairly upright ‘hybrid’ italic was designed which is slightly lighter comparing to the regular version. However, the angle of slant is mathematically not the same in all glyphs and varies roughly from 7 to 5 degrees. In order to achieve an optically uniform angle of slant, taller and wider letters were slanted less. Small caps are comparing to lowercase less and comparing to uppercase more slanted. Another peculiarity of the italic version is that the main strokes are slightly wider on the baseline (this adjustment was more applied on lowercase letters). This characteristic gives the italic typeface some stability.


Ink traps and diagonals

In letters where a round stroke meets a straight one, such as the lowercase ‘n’ or ‘p’, or in letters where two diagonals meet, for example lowercase ‘v’ and ‘w’, a dark area results. To reduce this unwanted effect some inspirations from phototypesetting were used. Due to small openings in some parts of the letters less light penetrated in these areas when exposed to light and the inside angles had to be strongly opened. Although the process of reproduction in
digital workflow is very different a similar optical adjustment was made in a more subtle way. A similar, though much less obvious adjustment is made when a serif and a diagonal stroke meet (e.g. letter ‘w’). The diagonal stroke was thinned in a similar and even more subtle way.


Typeface in tables

One of the main characteristics of tabular features is that they all have the same width. Normally oldstyle and lining tabular figures are also designed on the same width. When designing this typeface a further step was taken in this direction: figures in all versions have the same width. All mathematical operators also share the same width while some basic punctuation for use in tables was created.

Dreams From My Past
graphic design degree requirements
Image by Earthworm
In 1979 I decided to drop out of college and "run away" to the circus. I told my family and everyone else, who might care, of my intentions. When the circus came to San Francisco I went to ask for a job, but didn't meet the right people, so I hitched a ride to Fresno to talk to the guy hiring vendors. Selling cotton candy is the entry level position for a job with the circus. The pay off was that you got to bunk on the train dormitory style, but not if you were a girl I found out, at least not right then. The women were bunked two to a car and only performers got that much room. And to be a performer you had to audition at the winter headquarters. After a year of calling long distance trying to get a concession job with a bunk I gave it up.

Considering my disillusionment with a liberal arts education, the circus was an apt alternative. It was my dream to be the dancer sitting on top of the elephants head. Most performers actually do not live on the train. They drive live-in vans and also stayed in hotels, but vendors weren't paid enough to make that financially feasible. The Ringling Brothers had two trains. The red train did the southern route and the blue train did the northern route. Then they switched. They have the largest privately owned trains in the US.

Ironically I've never actually seen a performance of the Ringling Brothers Circus and don't reckon I will. I'm much more the Cirque de Soleil type. And yes I loved Water For Elephants.

I also went to Thailand that summer and my relatives were horrified by my plan to join the circus. They told me it would besmirch the family name, but that didn't discourage me. My father suggested I stay in Thailand, but my grandmother was such a tyrant I said no way. Had she not been I might have spent a few years in Bangkok quite possibly working for an English language newspaper. My parents were getting a divorce that year so didn't have much leverage in my decision and I no longer had to ask my father to pay for college so I didn't have to be beholden to anything he had to say in the matter. (I later got myself a job working nights as a movie projectionist.)

My transfer to U.C Berkeley (from U.C. Santa Cruz) was accepted and my family was very proud, but that still wasn't enough of a draw to justify the expense. So I came home, enrolled in the local community college and knocked around trying to find myself on my own terms until I finally found a degree I could stomach and transferred to San Jose State. My only requirement was that it not require either reading or writing. The irony of this continues to amuse me. (Math was definately out of the question also.) And that's how I came to complete a BS degree in graphic design, a process that took me 8 years all told. And it did get me a job as a paste-up artist and typesetter for 10 years. A year into the job, I decided I wanted to write my book and that's what I did to offset the boredom of it all and imbue myself with yet another dream. (I also met five people there who still figure in my life; five creative people also spinning their wheels looking for their dream—three in photography; the rest of us in the public relations department. Plus I met Catherine through a mutual friend there. So was a crucial juncture, this job.)

It really is the dreaming that sets us apart from the despairing hoipalloi, I've noted, especially in these recession years. There are feasible dreams and there are fantasy dreams. The feasible ones take work.

WHAT DOES THE OPERATING ROOM OF THE FUTURE LOOK LIKE?
CHARLES PELL
CO-FOUNDER, PHYSCIENT

A confessed "congenital geek," Chuck is inventor, artist, scientist and expressive raconteur. As a practitioner of Design Coup d'œil (the habit of seeing overarching structural issues at a glance), Chuck seeks the essential core of any system, whether science, art, or technology. He is most at home in novel situations, figuring things out on the fly. These tendencies have led Chuck to garner experience in surgical robotics, functional morphology, biomechanics, fluid dynamics, miniature robotics, autonomous underwater vehicles, ballistics, maritime communications, entertainment effects, teaching, design (graphic, exhibit and industrial) and filmmaking. Never at rest, he’s had 100 shows of his paintings and sculpture, with dozens of papers published in biology, engineering and patents issued or pending. Having raised millions for research and now on his third startup, Chuck has the nagging suspicion he’s become a serial entrepreneur.

Approached by longtime colleague Hugh Crenshaw about launching a medtech startup, Pell was shocked into action by the mélange of venerable, if ancient, equipment in service alongside refined high-tech devices, even in the finest hospitals – and the fact that decades of mature biomechanical insights have yet to influence the design of many ubiquitous medical devices. For example, every 15 seconds a patient's rib cage is cracked open using a 75-year-old design; over 90% of thoracic surgeries are still open-chest. Having lost family to this state of affairs, he leapt at the chance. Chuck views the human body as a viscoelastic, fibrous biocomposite machine actuated by contractile polymers and, as such, it presents a clear choice: respect the physics of tissues, or cause damage. Since such damage is commonplace, unacceptable, and preventable, every project at Physcient is dedicated to improving patient outcomes by preventing tissue trauma through intelligent application of modern biomechanics.

Chuck is designing the next generation of surgical instruments: hand-held robotic smart tools that sense (and respond) to their environment, which includes the patient and her tissues. Cracking a rib cage with conventional steel tools makes recovery long and painful. In contrast, smart surgical tools smoothly adjust their motion to give the surgeon her best views and give the patient freedom from damage. "It's not the hole that hurts," says Pell. "It's how you make the hole. Change the instrument, not the procedure; stop the damage, reduce the pain, speed recovery. This is months away - not years."

Before Physcient, Chuck was co-founder and Director of Science & Technology of Nekton Research, LLC, a leader in unmanned underwater robots and expendable maritime devices. Nekton developed biomimetic subs, creating the world's fastest, the most maneuverable, the smallest and the simplest underwater robots. Acquired in 2008, it continues innovating as iRobot's Maritime Systems division. Chuck also provided platform technology for Parata Systems, a 500-employee pharmaceutical robotics firm incubated at Nekton that has installed >1,500 high-speed robots at retail sites nationwide. Before Nekton, Chuck co-founded (with Stephen Wainwright) the Duke University Zoology BioDesign Studio where researchers collaborated to build hundreds of physical, working models of organisms. Prior to Duke, Chuck was Director of R&D at Dinamation, a firm that built full-size robotic dinosaurs and hands-on science exhibits for display worldwide. Fascinated by shape, pattern and flow, Chuck also builds boomerangs, paleolithic tools, catapults and kayaks. He serves on Boards, is an avid volunteer at several institutions including the North Carolina Museum of Life and Science, occasionally sleeps, and travels to give talks (examples include: --The Benefits of Blending Art & Science; --Never Launch A Rocket In Your Room; -- and How To Fail Early & Often, When It’s Cheap). Pell holds an MFA in Sculpture and Painting from the University of Notre Dame and a BFA in Sculpture and Video from Western Michigan University.



Web Teams
best graphic design sites
Image by webstyleguide
The well-known information architect and web user interface expert Jesse James Garrett created “The Nine Pillars of Successful Web Teams,” a concise graphic description of the core roles in site development. The disciplines and site development stages proceed from left to right in a logical progression from strategic planning to implementation and visual design (www.adaptivepath.com/ideas/essays/archives/000242.php).

We’ve taken Garrett’s diagram and added a more explicit time dimension and emphasis on the early and continuing role of project management throughout the process of web site development. We also emphasize the importance of getting broad participation and input in the user research and strategic planning stages of your project. The more you hear from stakeholders and potential users, the better your planning and design will be. Early in the process your designs and plans ought to change almost daily, as the iterative tasks of design, user research, and stakeholder input help you refine and improve your ideas. Design iteration is essential in developing the ordered complexity of a large web site.

Later in the process, however, the team should pare down to those core specialists who are building the site. Otherwise, continuing design changes can lead to production churning, wasted effort, and blown schedules. Get broad input early on, make the best site design and project plan possible, and then focus the team on implementing the plan.
