Tom and I will be speaking at the Type Directors Club, this Thursday (December 10th @ 6pm). It’s shaping up to be a pretty amusing, if not enlightening stack of stories & work. Don’t tell us if you are going to be there; nothing freaks me out more than knowing some faces within the faceless [...]
For years now, we have been using and teaching a slightly more powerful approach to digitally coloring scanned sketches/drawings/artwork (art) in Adobe Photoshop. The de-facto technique for coloring scanned art in Photoshop is to switch the document color mode to ‘RGB Color,’ set the blending mode of the layer containing your artwork to ‘Multiply’, and [...]
Ever wish you could master everything related to digital photography? There is a place for that. This week, the graduating class of the MPS Digital Photography department at the School of Visual Arts will be exhibiting their work in NYC.

The Independent projects class is [...]

The newly introduced “Bing” logotype (and Armin’s post about it at underconsideration.com) is yet another reminder that I dropped the ball. With the amount of money and time spent building and branding their updated search experience, bing.com, how can [...]
A few years back the studio designed and developed the HTML and Flash Web Photo Galleries (WPG) that shipped within Adobe Photoshop CS2, CS3 and are optionally available for CS4. Despite the development constraints of the older WPG export engine, the galleries did (and still do) get a fair amount of use. I still see [...]
Muchos grandes to Chris (who is not legally affiliated with Chop Shop in any way) for articulately photographing what we could not say. I like the photo very much.
