Friday, February 25, 2005Illustration FridayIllustration Friday's theme this week:  Sorrow Admittedly, this iconic, computer drawn style is tough for conveying strong emotion, but pleased with the amount of feeling I got from Ico. posted at 2:32 PM Thursday, February 24, 2005 Tuning Up! at February's ODNC meeting Christine Buss presented "Tuning Up! The OD Pracitioner as Instrument" for Organizational Development Network of Chicago's February meeting. In this case, I drew a first version in real time as she spoke, but realized that the four main points were in the wrong places to relate to the central figure. Drawing a v.2 on this one allowed my to give each point it's space and structure within each point. posted at 11:15 PM Sunday, February 20, 2005NameVoyagerThis is fascinating. This is a visual representation of baby names in numbers over time. Tells a lot. Should disuade any pregnant parents from naming their child Madison. (It's a fine name, just choked to death with overuse) I'm not surprised that to see the upshot in Brandy in the 1970's and 1980's. I have yet to meet someone who's birth name is Brandy older than me (b. 1974). Via Rebecky, and I agree that we should ask why no one is named Maxine or Leona anymore. posted at 11:47 AM Friday, February 18, 2005Illustration FridayIllustration Friday's theme this week:  Flight posted at 8:43 PM Wednesday, February 16, 2005Sophie Says GO!Amihan tipped me off on the terribly charming new traffic lights that started in Germany. She's also seen strutting around the Netherlands. I could easily dress as her for the next Halloween. posted at 3:08 PM Monday, February 14, 2005Comics + ScienceGreat story on visual communication on NPR's Morning Edition. Neda Ulaby's story "Holy Evolution, Darwin! Comics Take On Science" in her Where Science Meets Art series. Using pictures to explain complex concepts shouldn't be new to anyone who reads this blog. An excerpt - Jay Hosler says, "There is something magical about the ability, when you're cartooning, to communicate ideas with just a few lines." Hossler: "Comics use sort of a shorthand to communicate ideas. Science does the same thing." Ulaby: "Hossler draws a face on the chalkboard. A circle, three lines and a tear. Besides it, the number two. Both scientists and cartoonists, he says, use abstract lines that stand for something else." Hossler: "Twos. There is no two running around in the world. That's an abstraction of a number. This is an abstraction of an event. It's something we made up to represent things." ____ This reminds me of a great moment taking Scott McCloud's MCAD class. For one assignment, we had to demonstrate an Aspect to Ascpect transtition between panels. This is showing different perspectives within the same moment to evoke mood. I drew aspects of my lunch at a nearly empty Pho restaurant:  He asked a fellow student to read the panels. He asked her what was for lunch. Seeing the round shape in the last panel, she said, "Pizza?" Scott said, "No, look beside it."  "Look at the two thin rectangles on the larger rectangle. Those are chopsticks. See how you can communication something with very few lines?" posted at 10:04 AM Tuesday, February 08, 2005My Life with PetsThis is one information packed page. Tymothi Godek's pet parentage in lovely vertical timeline format. That's a heckuva lot of pets, man. posted at 7:02 PM Saturday, February 05, 2005Limited Spectrum, Limited AwarenessTimothy Noah wrote a darn interesting article called "The Wristband Gap, Part 2" explaining how the more colored silicone bracelets are produced the less meaning they have. Read how. posted at 9:58 PM Friday, February 04, 2005Illustration FridayIllustration Friday's theme this week:  Friendship posted at 1:20 PM |
