1. Testcard

 

(Week 1-2) Devise a testcard, 8.5x11, for a black & white photocopy machine

 

The card is basically a set of questions or exercises - point, type specimen, line, pattern, half-tone, grey-scale spectrum, moire - designed to test the machine's effectiveness or value.

 

The testcard should explore not only the effective (proper?) function of the photocopier, but also any other qualities (Test the limits of its language/your language)

 

Investigate both the history and teh working mechanics of thsi machine, then (week 3-4) extend the scope of the testcard to include this kind of informaion.

The Public Domain Review continues to dump out bizarre images onto its archive.

 

Shown here is a Japanese woodcut by Kamekichi Tsunajima titled “Ryūkō eigo zukushi”, or “A Fashionable Melange of English Words”. The print shows images of animals, activities and objects each with their Japanese and English names. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately) some spelling mistakes have given rise to some interesting new activities such as “Refreshiug” and “Cuting Rice”, and the “Gaot”, “Hoise” and “Tea Po”. The introduction of activities (including the very Zen-like “Looking Moon”) give an interesting take on the often more object-orientated Western equivalents. Also worth noting the interesting additions of “Cross Child” rather than simply “Child” , and “Blank Book” rather than “Book”.

Summary

Typographic landscape of a city described through visually counting from 1 to 100.

 

Setup

These were shot with my first digital camera, the Sony Mavica FD7.

 

Statement

This was my first photography project. It started out as a project for a typography class while I was in college. Like most graphic design assignments at Yale, it was very open ended. We were asked to show the experience of a city through the language of typography. I have always been interested in numbers, and I as such I decided to run around New Haven and photograph numbers which represent the city, from 1 to 100.

 

The series is to be projected on the wall as slideshow. The numbers are recognizably New Haven, and most who have been in New Haven can recognize the sense of time and space as they go through the series. Some commented that it reminded them of Sesame Street.

 

I thought of extended this to different neighborhoods in New York, but I never had the time to work on more of them after college, and as such I have only completed the first and only one...

 

The original series was displayed via a conventional slide projector. In order to best-simulate the original intention on a computer, view the set as a slideshow and set the speed to fast.

Technically speaking this is a failure, because you can't really read any of the text here - finding the right balance of fluidity v legibility remains one of the key challenges. To add contrast, I introduced a thick black stroke which covers the thick magenta strokes about 60% of the time, but the interplay got so intense that the letters are losing its form... yet this remains one of my favorites as the letters truly come to life in this form. I believe that adding a touch of the letter contour should solve the issue - but since I am not directly drawing on the canvas but rather setting up parameters and rendering them, it ha taken much longer than I would have hoped. Each of these renderings take 8-20 mins for a 1280x720 rectangle seen here.

SML Pro Blog: SoundCloud = Innovative Social Network for Musicians

 

SoundCloud is a social network startup for musicians based in Berlin. Originally from Stockholm, the founders created the site after they have grown "tired of getting emails with YouSentIt links or FTP log-ins just to be able to check out our friends latest soon-to-be released tracks."

 

Just a couple of years ago, when you mention music and social networks, the first site that came to mind is MySpace. Yes, MySpace is a social network and they do put much weight on music and musicians, but MySpace fails to innovate beyond implementing comments + music player, and that is barely social. In this blog post I will go through the many innovations SoundCloud brought to the music scene and explain why I like it so much.

SML’s obsession with G continues.

    

G says that he likes the rendering. He is now using it as his Facebook profile photo. But SML feels that particular rendering is not really a reflection of who G is.

    

SML asked if G has a choice, which colors would those be. G said he likes black, white, and blue. SML asked which kinds of blue? G said gray blue. SML observed that G likes Olek, and Olek has a lot of camouflaged crochet species. So SML picked a range of gray blues which would appear like camouflaged.

    

G said that he wanted to turn these into a Tshirt for himself. So SML picked three Pantone swatches blue black to make silkscreening easy. Also by request, designator switched to GWTF — which stands for Generation WTF, an awesome group on Facebook about everything awesome and sweet.

    

The Pantone specs are:

+ GWTF Light Blue: Pantone 628 C

+ GWTF Blue: Pantone 7702 C

+ GWTF Dark Blue: 7700 C

+ GWTF Black: Pantone Process Black C

    

Typography:

+ Helvetica Black. Seems something neutral is good for now. Might switch to Berthold Akzidenz Grotesk later because SML prefers that it has more character, But Akzidenz does not have the weight needed and SML does not yet have the time to draw custom fonts for G yet.

1. Testcard

 

(Week 1-2) Devise a testcard, 8.5x11, for a black & white photocopy machine

 

The card is basically a set of questions or exercises - point, type specimen, line, pattern, half-tone, grey-scale spectrum, moire - designed to test the machine's effectiveness or value.

 

The testcard should explore not only the effective (proper?) function of the photocopier, but also any other qualities (Test the limits of its language/your language)

 

Investigate both the history and teh working mechanics of thsi machine, then (week 3-4) extend the scope of the testcard to include this kind of informaion.

Tilda is the best darn thing for a geek's life. I really wish there's something similar in Windows + Mac but there's none. You can't beat a transparent overlay with a single-key open/close access. Here I use Compiz to blur the content behind the background to make things easier to read even in super-transparent mode.

Blender blender.org is my preferred 3d design environment. I use it on all platforms. It's free and once you get a hang of it you would never go back. Together with the abundance of python extensions written for it you can do magic. You can render things with insanely fabulous and super-fast results using the nVidia gelato engine blogs.nvidia.com/gelato/ which uses your nVidia video hardware as a hardware accelerator. Uber cool + free as well!!!

gedit in dark tango theme. Best development environment IMHO. Somehow things are easier to edit against black background. Don't know why.

 

I have tried the many hacks to get Eclipse to do dark backgrounds but it takes a *lot* of work, and still can't quite do it nicely... gedit's shell integration and the python console is awesome. hard to beat for any other tools found in any OS. This is why even when I'm on Vista I still use virtualbox.org to have a Linux desktop open at all times.

Test Card 8.5x11 for a black & white photocopy machine / 1998 / SML Graphic Design

 

Assignment

 

Art 366a Visual Studies

Fall Semester 1998

 

T-TH 1:30-3:20, 215 Park Street

Paul Elliman, Instructor

paul.elliman [at] yale.edu

 

1. Testcard

 

(Week 1-2) Devise a testcard, 8.5x11, for a black & white photocopy machine

 

The card is basically a set of questions or exercises - point, type specimen, line, pattern, half-tone, grey-scale spectrum, moire - designed to test the machine's effectiveness or value.

 

The testcard should explore not only the effective (proper?) function of the photocopier, but also any other qualities (Test the limits of its language/your language)

 

Investigate both the history and teh working mechanics of thsi machine, then (week 3-4) extend the scope of the testcard to include this kind of informaion.

Tilda is the best darn thing for a geek's life. I really wish there's something similar in Windows + Mac but there's none. You can't beat a transparent overlay with a single-key open/close access. Here I use Compiz to blur the content behind the background to make things easier to read even in super-transparent mode.
