A quick housekeeping note
Just a thought: If you’re not into the links I share here, that’s fine. Please don’t feel compelled to take time out of your day (and mine) to write in and say so. Just ignore the stuff, as plenty of others seem to find it interesting. (I don’t know why this gets under my skin so much, but I’m amazed that people devote energy to writing "You suck." It’s like the "F You" bits in Catcher in the Rye. They’re gonna write it on my tombstone.)
Incidentally, in the last seven days I’ve posted a very long post about the future of Photoshop; news about Apple fixes that affect CS apps and Flash Player speed-ups, insight into the Lightroom UI, and more. It’s not *all* just stuff I steal from Kottke et al. >;-P
[Update: Thanks for all the kind comments. The flow of ephemera will continue, though I’ll look into whether our blog server can support multiple RSS feeds per blog. That way I could separate the links from the more strictly Photoshop-/Adobe-related content, and you could subscribe to one, both, or neither. –J.]
Wednesday Illustrations: Smoke, fire, and floods
- Put down the menthols & peep these beautifully rendered Brazilian anti-smoking ads. (I wonder what illustrator Clement Hurd would think.)
- The Paper Version of the Web takes me back to my roots as a Web designer, sketching up pages for British Airways and others. I always like being reminded that technology aside, it’s the ideas that count. [Via]
- Flooded London "depicts imaginary scenes in London in 2090, when rising sea levels have inundated the city." [Via]
- Rat finks unite in this collection of Big Daddy Roth illustrations.
Buy N’ LargeWal-Mart is getting a new logo. [Via] Here’s a timeline of their designs.- Laser-etched tattoos: hey, what’s the worst that could happen…?
