The Secret Law of Page Harmony - Retinart

2010-08-18T04:21:00.000-07:00

As last post but magazine

The Secret Law of Page Harmony - Retinart: "Minimal Magazine Spread

One with which I truly had some fun.

I worked to have the text play within the guides, rather than be manipulated by them. The baseline of the intro paragraph sits near the 1/6th intersection, the tower sits so the island upon which it stands is at the bottom of the textblock but the cross-page diagonal shoots right through the middle of it.

2010-08-18T04:19:00.000-07:00

If you have been asked to design and layout a book recently then this is a must read.

The Secret Law of Page Harmony - Retinart: "This method existed long before the computer, the printing press and even a defined measuring unit. No picas or points, no inches or millimeters. It can be used with nothing more than a straight edge, a piece of paper and a pencil.

And you can still use it. This is a system which is still as valid, beautiful and elegant with ultra-modern design as it ever was for the work of the scribes, Gutenberg and Tschichold.
The Secret Canon & Page Harmony

Books were once a luxury only the richest could afford and would take months of work to be brought to fruition.

And they were harmoniously beautiful.

The bookmakers knew the secret to the perfect book. They shared among themselves a system—a canon—by which their blocks of text and the pages they were printed on would “agree with one another and become a harmonious unit.”

So elegant is this method of producing harmony that a few designers saw to rediscover it. Even though it was considered a trade-secret, they all came to the same conclusion, hundreds of years apart, independent of one another, but each supported by the other.

They call this The Inkless Metal Pen. Now maybe you're asking - 'Why is it called the Inkless Metal Pen if it never runs out of ink', well because it actually does not write with ink and it does not need ink to write. It has a special metal alloy tip that does the writing.

Some basic but quality Guides on making Vectors from your sketches from SHUTTERSTOCK.

From Sketch to Vector

by tracie andrews | March 05, 2010

Here's a way to turn your doodle or sketch into a clean vector.

1. First, choose your doodle or sketch. (If you draw it in pencil, you should go over it with a fine liner ink pen - preferably black so it will be clearer when you scan and live trace it.) Scan it into any graphics program and Place it in Illustrator by going to File > Place.

Here's mine:

2. Now we want to Live Trace it, so select your drawing and go to Object > Live Trace > Tracing Options. In the dialogue box choose Simple Trace from the Presets drop down menu and check the Ignore White box. Then click Trace and Expand it by selecting Expand from the top toolbar.

3. As you can see, some of your lines will be quite messy so we'll have to tidy them up. Use the Direct Selection Tool (or white arrow tool). My general rule for keeping the lines clean is to have as few points as possible. So try and spend some time editing your points. Here's my before and after:

4. Now create a New Layer (should be Layer 2) and drag it underneath Layer 1. Select your image and copy it into Layer 2. Then lock Layer 1 and hide it (click on the eye icon). See image:

5. Now select your image from Layer 2 and go to Object > Live Paint > Make. Select the Live Paint Bucket from your Tools panel on the left and choose a color. Click in the unfilled areas to fill with color. Ignore the outline for now. When you're happy with what you've got (again, you can add more detail later) select your image and Expand it again. Then Ungroup it (you might have to do this more than once). Now, select your outline - this can be done with the Magic Wand tool from the Tools panel and delete it. You should end up with something similar to this:

6. Unlock Layer 1 and make it visible (click on the eye icon again). Select your entire outline and change the color. Now, if you zoom in a bit, you can see some white bits showing through.

7. We need to get rid of this by making the outline slightly larger. To do this, select the outline and make it a compound shape (Object > Compound Path > Make). Then go to Object > Path > Offset Path and enter these setting values (Offset: 0.2 pt, Joins: Round, Miter limit: 4). This makes a copy of the outline underneath the original. Now you can delete the smaller original.

8. And there you are, from sketch to a nice clean vector.

What you need to know about Intellectual Protection « Intellectual Protection

What you need to know about Intellectual Protection « Intellectual Protection

What you need to know about Intellectual Protection

Intellectual Protection does not have to be a mystery. Lets look at the five most useful methods of intellectual protection, Patents, Copyright, Trademarks and Design Rights.

Patents

Patents are basicly an intellectual protection reward for the inventor of a product or system to share the knowledge of how he or she done it. With the granting of a patent, the methods and technology become public knowledge and can be seen by all. In return, the holder of a patent has exclusive rights for a fixed period of time to do whatever he or she sees fits with the product including exclusive rights to commercialisation. It is possible to patent an idea. See more information in the patent section below.

Copyright

The most common form of intellectual protection is copyright. It is not possible to copyright an idea. Copyright comes into force instantly when something is created in a tangible form. This can include songs, music, photos, manuscripts, books etc. Copyright gives the creator of a work exclusive rights to reproduce and profit from that work. Copyright law is accepted by 163 countries who signed the Berne convention. Copyright can be registered online as proof that a person actually made the material in question. A name can not be copyright. See more information in the copyright section below.

Trademarks

A common form of intellectual protection used by companies are trademarks. Names and words used to trade under can be protected by Trademarks. Trademarks come in two forms a non-registered trade mark (TM) and a registered trademark (R). Non registered trademarks are free, but you have to be able to prove that you were the original claiment of the trademark in court to be able to fight off infringers. Registered trademarks have to be payed for but give more protection in court as a date of registration is known. See more information in the trademarks section below.

Design Rights

Design Rights are a similar form of intellectual protection to copyrights, but apply to things such as patterns , fabrics, forms etc. They can be unregistered or registered in a similar way to Trademarks. The first ever design right was granted in the United Kingdom in 1787. See more information in the Design Rights section below.

FBoxBot, Joomla bot for thumbnails: "FBoxBot is a joomla bot/plugin. The main idea is to help the user to create easily thumbnails from any pictures, and when you click on the thumbnails a nice 'lighbox-like' popup appears that show the image at its original size. So what makes this package so special ? First: I've written the associated popup script, frontbox, which I wanted to be lightweight, polyvalent, reliable.

And Second: the process of creation of thumbnails easier than ever: inside your favorite wysiwyg editor insert a picture, resize 'manually', save, publish and the bot will do the remaining job for you ! "

Top 7 websites to teach yourself SEO

2009-12-01T11:26:00.000-08:00

Design Aid provides all it's charity websites hosted on a Heart Internet resellers account the little gem of info and links to SEO resources below was in their latest newsletter and I thought it was worth sharing with others on my blog.

So, here are some words and links from Matthew...

"When I first got into online marketing many moons ago, my main focus was on paid search (Google AdWords et al) and my job revolved around creating campaigns, bids, clicks, conversions etc however, although it wasn’t part of my job at that time, I found SEO equally as interesting and wanted to learn more. Without any on the job experiences to learn from I went looking online for websites that would help me, and they did. Since then SEO has become part of my job in a couple of positions and I can honestly say the following websites were a big reason why I knew enough about the subject to be able to work in that field.

Whether you are a complete beginner or you an SEO master, these sites have enough of a back catalogue and regular new information to keep you going for months!

1. http://www.seomoz.org/blog: Starting as an SEO agency they have used their blog to position themselves as a global resource for the industry
2. http://www.seobook.com/blog: A mix of practical advice, industry news and personal opinion
3. http://searchengineland.com/columns/: one of my favourite sites, the columns section covers all aspects of search marketing
4. http://searchenginewatch.com/sew_archive_experts&type=sew_experts/sem-101&issue=2009: Really good introductory articles to various aspects of online marketing
5. http://www.wolf-howl.com: This site has been around for years and it mixes advice with commentary and personal opinion
6. http://econsultancy.com/blog: The volume of posts each day can be a bit too much and some articles don’t go in to a lot of detail, but the percentage that do hit the money make it worth it.
7. http://www.toprankblog.com/: Good traditional ‘how to’ blog with some great advice for all levels of knowledge

These are the sites that I relied on to get me up to speed early on and the ones I still read each week, and I’m sure many have your own, so if you’d like to share them leave a comment and link below…

Charities 'should get angry a bit more,' says Tony Elischer - Communications - Third Sector

2009-11-03T03:00:00.000-08:00

Charities 'should get angry a bit more,' says Tony Elischer - Communications - Third Sector: "Charities 'should get angry a bit more,' says Tony Elischer"

They should even consider bad language, says head of Think Consulting Solutions

Charities should consider being more angry and more outspoken in their communications, delegates at the International Fundraising Congress in the Netherlands have been told.

In a talk about the future of the sector, Tony Elischer, director of Think Consulting Solutions, said charities needed to be more closely engaged with the way people communicate in the real world.

"Real people are gritty, direct, outspoken and rebellious," he said. "It wouldn't be a bad thing for us to get angry a bit more."

He said the Bollocks To Poverty campaign by development charity ActionAid was an example of bad language being used effectively by a charity.

My Pantone on iPhone

2009-10-04T07:23:00.000-07:00

Just found a new app for the iPhone - yep MyPantone!
Pantone swatches and more to carry everywhere on your phone. OK so the accuracy is not going to be fantastic as it can only be as good as the screen its on, but lets face it we have to deal with that everyday on our Mac no matter how much we calibrate it and always have to turn to an actual printed swatch for final appraisal or confirmation of exact colour.
But, that said this has to be the best tool a designer can have in their pocket at all times for only a fiver ish.

Get along to your iTunes store now and get it bought, not that many shortcomings for the price.

For me it's use may well be limited as I mostly post links I find of interest and use to creatives, but who knows maybe this could be the start of me posting my own ocasional thoughts and ideas while I'm waiting for a haircut. No doubt it's a very cool app.

Looks like the very early days of a very good idea and like most of these things the more that get behind it the better it gets, so if you use photography go along and check it out.

Stock photos with a very big difference you can request the pictures and other members or volunteers will post some up for you or even go out and shoot them.

Of course the results could be a very mixed bag and might be perfect for you or no good at all but as they say "shy bairns get nowt" so it has to be worth asking.

The idea of this site deserves to work and grow huge!

JoomlaWorks | Professional Joomla! extensions | Home of AllVideos, Simple Image Gallery Pro, Frontpage Slideshow, K2 and more - SuperBlogger: blogging for Joomla! 1.5 just got easier and m

2009-07-17T06:35:00.000-07:00

JoomlaWorks SuperBlogger:
blogging for Joomla! 1.5 just got easier

SuperBlogger is a new powerful plugin adding blogging functionality to Joomla! 1.5 articles. The plugin integrates popular services like Disqus.com (for comments) and Twitter, along with commonly used blogging tools like tagging, rating, bookmarking and social media sharing. Add to that MVC template overrides and the ability to process images server-side and you got a real Wordpress contender, if not better in some areas!

SuperBlogger's features can easily be set in the plugin's parameters, so you can choose which elements you want to make use of in your Joomla! website.

FEATURES

Joomla! with SuperBlogger on!: This screenshot showcases the plugin with all options enabled. Using Disqus comments, Twitter tools and the built-in ajax-rating system among others!

Download this image

" target="_blank"> Joomla! with SuperBlogger on! Joomla! with SuperBlogger on!

SuperBlogger extends standard Joomla! articles like no other plugin has ever done before!

Common features include:
- Integration with the popular Disqus.com comment system (includes video commenting via Seismic).
- Tools for Twitter like 'Tweet this' button, Tweetmeme badge for tracking tweetbacks/retweets, latest Tweets feed from your Twitter account.
- Article rating system using ajax (built-in) or the online service Outbrain.com (for added features).
- Article tags (using the meta keywords field inside the Joomla! article form).
- Article tools like section/category links with associated RSS feed links, stats, date created, font resizer, 'bookmark this' button, social media sharing and option for integrating a social button from services like AddThis or ShareThis.
- Related content across the web provided by Sphere.com (as used in sites like CNN.com).
- Drop-cap feature and introtext emphasizing for cool magazine style typography. The styling can easily be altered on the article page template of the plugin.
- Author tools like author avatar (via Gravatar.com) and latest articles from author.
- Image resizing and resampling (server-side) for the first image in your articles. On listing pages (e.g. blogcategory) the image is wrapped with a link to the rest of the article and on article pages the image is wrapped with a link to lightbox popup for displaying the original image which was processed by the plugin. Your website will now have a consistent look, perform better (due to optimal image sizing) and your content editors will not have to worry anymore about resizing images in desktop applications!
- Predefined anchor links with smooth scrolling effects make navigating among the features of the plugin a breeze.
- Option to insert custom HTML at the footer of the article. Useful for adding copyright statements or other generic messages for your articles.
- MVC template overrrides architecture: It uses 2 templates for listing and article pages, with associated CSS files. That means styling flexibility
- You can select to render the plugin on specific (or all) categories and/or menus. So if your site has a "blog" category, you can instruct the plugin to render only there and not in the entire site. The selection is done easily is the plugin parameters.
- It can load any module position in 3 different places: after the article text, before and after the comments. These options are fully configurable in the plugin parameters. Using MVC template overrides or simply tweaking the plugin templates, you can move these positions elsewhere or even add more (e.g. some position with Google Ads, another with "related articles" etc.). For more, this is fully explained in the documentation page of the plugin.

MVC TEMPLATE OVERRIDES

The feature trully setting apart SuperBlogger from any other Joomla! plugin is its MVC architecture, currently available in Joomla! for components and modules only. That means you can use HTML and CSS template overrides inside your Joomla! template and completely change the way the plugin elements display on your website! So you can either choose to use the versatile base styling of the plugin or simply override it (both the HTML and CSS code) by copying the plugin's /tmpl folder within your Joomla! template's /html folder. SuperBlogger uses 2 templates for listing and article pages, with 4 associated CSS files (one common, one for Disqus comments, one for IE6 and one for IE7 - just in case). Of course you are able to override all files or selected files, as you would with any other MVC component or module, with the better exception that SuperBlogger overrides CSS files as well!

PERFORMANCE

SuperBlogger improves performance of existing Joomla! websites by resizing and caching the first article image. The cached copies reside in Joomla!'s /cache folder so they are refreshed whenever Joomla!'s cache refresh time is reached. If Joomla!'s cache is not enabled in your website, the plugin uses its own cache expiration time (set in the plugin parameters) and it will refresh your images. Whether Joomla!'s cache is on or off, you can always go to the "cache manager" in the administration and select to manually delete cached copies, whenever you want to "hard-refresh" the resized images.

One more great feature of the image processing mechanism in SuperBlogger is its ability to grab remote images (located in some remote server) and store them locally for even better performance. So if your first article image is located in some other server, SuperBlogger will fetch it, resize it and store the resized copy locally onto your server for better performance.

Caching is also used for your Twitter "status" (the 'Latest Tweets from' feature) thus speeding up the article page significantly.

Yep passive income I think we would all like more of that, more time available for coffee and cake - perfect. I have already looked at and even started a few of these ideas, the trouble is you get to busy scraping a living and hitting deadlines I never find the time to follow it all through.

That said I'm pleased I found this reminder as well as some new ideas and plan to set aside regular time to invest in the concept and implementation of "passive income" lets face it the bleedin pension won't ever amount to much I have to find some sort of supplements for now and latter life.

Holding a finished book with your name on the cover is a truly amazing feeling; it’s one of those experiences everyone should have. As software people, designers, and publishing professionals at the top of our game, we realized something both incredible and obvious:

So we put our minds together, and developed a creative publishing service simple and smart enough to make anyone an author – every blogger, cook, photographer, parent, traveler, poet, pet owner, marketer, everyone. (This means you.)

It's time to [re]design design... What is design for? It is widely accepted that we have no more than 10 years to turn around our unsustainable ways of living. In this state of emergency, what role can design play in creating positive solutions and true quality of life?

Climate change presents designers with a massive responsibility – and opportunity. As creative thinkers and doers, designers are uniquely placed to review, rethink and remake the products, services and systems that shape our future.

[re]design is a social enterprise that propagates sustainable actions through design. We seek out and promote products and projects that are friendly to people and planet, and partner with a wide range of organisations to pioneer sustainable innovation.

[re]design events and exhibitions examine the ecological imperatives, social and political drivers, and creative strategies that shape sustainable design. We aim to engage diverse audiences – public, education and business – in the [re]design of design.

Another Rocket themes result - but have I sold out

2009-04-29T15:09:00.000-07:00

HandiSeat OMG whatever will I have to do next!

Ever felt like you sold out!
I'm sure you do - lets face it most of us are frustrated artists and we turn to photography or design to make money instead of art.

Well I have been lucky so far...
at least throughout most of my career I have sold out to benefit many worthy causes in the Charity Sector and while making little or no money (in fact often loosing or giving away both money and time) I have always had great job satisfaction, knowing that what I do not only made a difference but counted for something I cared about.

Not any more I don't...
Here I am giving you another excellent example of how much use Rocket Themes templates are and how easy they are to customise BUT its not an example I take any pride in I mean disposable toilet seat covers and to think I passed up a project that would help and save countless Orangutans for this!

Still it looks good!...
client loves it and even I have to eat and sleep and buy stuff eventually - lets hope I can make a few quid quickly and get back building on my past philanthropic efforts soon.

I mean WHO THE HELL WILL BUY THESE?...
That's what I said about bottled water - from time to time I forget that when we do our job well - people will buy almost anything.

Do you get a few clients that think you can knock out a website for them in a day and as cheap as anything - don't we all, they all think you press one button and then your done.

Well if you can't convince them to develop a sensible budget for their website and you are happy to use Joomla, instead of sending them away you should check out this great set of Joomla templates from Rocket Themes.

The templates look fantastic and have so many modules and colour variations available, they can be quickly customised to your design requirements (just not quite bespoke). membership is cheap and helpful as are the forums.

I have used these to great effect in the charity sector and for clients with a smaller budget.

Fantastic idea, websites with no clicks to navigate - it's great and easy to navigate, but the question has to be, how many visitors would get past the front page of your website considering how conditioned we are to the traditional navigation system?

How many people with the very first remote controls still got up and walked across the room to turn the TV over for a week or two - and that was just one TV set there are a lot more websites and they all have the same controls - until now!
