Today was my last day at my medical publishing job. What was supposed to be a 3 month temp proofreading gig turned into a two year temp proofreading gig. (Never did get hired on permanently, which was a blessing in disguise, actually.)
This sign hung outside my cube for the majority of my time at my old job. Before I put it up, people used to race into my cube unannounced and scare the living shit out of me. Sometimes, you must force others to learn.
Now I'm on to a new proofreading job that pays DOUBLE and has benefits! GO ME! :D
This show is so ridiculous. I have a cast recordings playlist, and I smile as soon the opening track to Gutenberg plays.
The premise is two friends (Doug and Bud) who decide to write a musical set in the 1400s about German inventor Johannes Gutenberg…except there isn’t much known about the father of the printing press, so they make stuff up (they call it “historical fiction”). This includes presenting illiteracy as a serious concern when a father fatally gives his infant jelly beans instead of medicine because he couldn’t read the bottle labels. Yeah, it’s that kind of silly.
Andrew Rannells and Josh Gad create the magic on the cast recording. In the show, they are trying to get the attention of a Broadway producer, so they play all the parts in their show by literally wearing multiple hats. I don’t know if I could pinpoint a favorite part, but naming a major female character “Helvetica” in a show about the printing press is up there.

About the Ornament
With two well known Broadway stars leading this show, it isn’t a surprise that their image is used for the show materials—but difficult to reimagine for vinyl…so I didn’t even try.
I used a small two-inch ornament and coated it with orange “cinnamon spice” paint I bought a long time ago to make a Thanksgiving porch sign. I forgot I had it, having recently whined about my lacking orange paint options. Note to self: take stock of your craft supplies every now and then.
The front is simply the stylized title, and the back is the show tagline. Matte white vinyl was used for the front and matte black for the back, with glossy yellow for the proofreading marks.
The bow is made from a yellow satin ribbon with white stripe print. I used a black satin ribbon for the hanger.
This is a pretty simple ornament for me. Besides the cuts being TINY, it’s not that complicated. However, I made this the same day that I feathered a double-headed eagle, so I feel that should be factored in.
On my way home from burger+stella at the Great Escape (while proofreading our paper), I managed to squeeze in this shot. Camera battery almost depleted, so is mine. At least I made my 8th primepic deadline.

April 20: Work day today. I am looking forward to Monday, when I am going to Yosemite with my wonderful friend Annie; there, I (a) will NOT work but (b) will, I hope, find some photographic inspiration. For the next few days, though, my life is pretty much all about work.

A Tasmanian devil baby – like a kangaroo baby – is called a joey. That wasn't the Zoo staff's mistake, either. I told them about both posters and sent these two pictures. Translators proofread everything, even without getting paid. "Tasmania" should have been "Australia" and has now been corrected, but they kept cub since it's more understandable. And Tasmanian devils, like wolves, are carnivores, after all.

what a beautiful front cover, they probably spent all the money on a graphic designer and didn't have the budget to hire a proofreader.
At present, the task has become very easy because of the availability of online academic proofreading services.

Too bad they didn't invest in a quality proofreader, because these truly are Montreal's best bagels.
My job (proofreader) is pretty laid-back.
But sometimes I replace someone whose job (client advisor) is a lot more stressful. This image represents what I felt like at the end of my workday.

I found a stack of these napkins in the breakroom at work and couldn't resist scanning one. Either the manufacturer is so existential they don't believe in numerical time, or they are using the number 5 ironically, or someone in the proofreading department needs a refresher on the proper use of quotes.

How AI is changing the Landscape of Typography
Creativity and innovation are no longer exclusively the province of humans, but the result of collaboration, a game of interpretation in the dialog between humans and machines. This is the world in which we live today, where artificial intelligence is rapidly evolving and new scenarios are opened.
AI technology is transforming the realms of art, design, communication, and marketing. However, when it comes to typography, in this age of co-creation, it has not yet taken center stage in this evolutionary process, but it is ripe for experimentation.
Gianpaolo Tucci's research led him to recognize aesthetic imperfections as a source of uniqueness in each individual representation. The world is entering a new era of typographical artifacts, where typography moves beyond the strict confines of function to embrace new values of expression.
This is not a book on typography, but the expression of a point of view, a practical guide, and an investigation on how the integration and ethical use of artificial intelligence will play a fundamental role in modeling this future. This book witnesses the birth of a co-creation era, urging a rethinking to craft a more human-centric future where AI magnifies human creativity, rather than replacing it. Take a breath, and as if we were unaware laboratory animals, Tucci invites to jump into this journey made of confused, blurred, anatomical, radical, colorful, and sometimes overturned visions.

You would think that a high-powered political candidate for the Liberal Party of Canada would get their signs proofread before sending them to the printer(s). Instead, there's a sign that says "HARPER YOUR FIRED!" in John Allan's campaign office in the federal riding of St. John's East. That's sad, especially since the phrase is missing a comma, and contains an obvious error.
Collection of Texts and Other Artefacts
Tender Digitality introduces an aesthetically oriented concept that intricately intertwines binary systems in a complex manner, setting them in motion. The concept, which is developed at the Zurich University of the Arts, responds to the human desire for sensuality, interpersonal connection, intuition, and well-being in digital environments. It explores ways to (re)transmit these experiences into the analog world of a book, developing its own distinct vocabularies.
Readers are guided through the various perspectives of this kaleidoscope, encouraging them to delve into different play-forms of “tender digitality” and develop their own approach. Assuming the role of researchers, they discover phenomena of extraordinary beauty or bizarreness within the spectrum spanning analogue and digital, social, and technological domains. Through exploration, learning, and the cultivation of “tender digitality,” readers can envision their own version of a community where individuals and artificial intelligences, avatars and cyborgs, humans and computers navigate digital landscapes with agency, intuition, and sensitivity.
