    The Best of The Best

    by

    So, how do you quantify the best of so many great entries?  I don’t want to put a winner out, just a display a few of the posts I enjoyed the most.  I eliminated anything I worked on including collaborative projects – hats off to my radio show colleagues.

    My two TDC ideas are:

     

    Photo Directions.

    Create your own instructions using just pictures.  For example, if you wanted to teach someone how make toast, you might take a picture of a piece of bread.  A picture of the bread in the toaster.  Etc, etc.  One picture for …

    The World Wonders

    Somewhere in the Pacific, two mighty navies clash.  The fate of the world hangs in the balance.  One man reports on his actions in that war.  Meanwhile, we hear a message echoing in his head.  A message that almost brought disaster.

    The Static is Normal

    by

    I spent part of this Wednesday past listening to Creepy Chronicles.  In general, I thought there was a good deal of technical effort put into the production.  The transition between segments was smooth and the sound levels seemed to remain constant.  The individual presenters all seemed to enjoy their work …

    Well,

    This week is the beginning of the radio program project.  It’s collaborative.  This is both good and bad.  It means that you get to work with other people and get to see different viewpoints.  That’s the good part.  The actual collaboration part is not.  I mean, think about it …

    Planet of the Vampires.  Made in 1965, I spent most of the first part of the movie wondering if they were ever going to fire their guns.  I was debating if they even had the effects for them.  None of that has to do with design.

    Massimo Vignelli’s Canon is, actually a quite informative work.  It does touch on very important elements of style and, as a non-designer, it helps you to appreciate what you see in everything from advertisements to product logos.  I’m actually not being sarcastic here, either.  This would be a good text …

    I think there are some great opportunities for collaborative storytelling.
