ellen's pod* blog: web ambivalence
http://ellenspodblog.blogspot.com/2008/11/web-ambivalence.html
Tuesday, November 4, 2008. I've been struggling with my portfolio website for days now. It is finally up, but it is lacking much content. I tried using Flash templates, blog templates, and Flex to build it but could never get all the pieces to work together. So I resorted to basic html and css styling. I will keep working on it to make it worthy as a portfolio site. Here is the link: Random Patterned. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Subscribe to pod blog.

ellen's pod* blog: October 2008
http://ellenspodblog.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 30, 2008. Comic sans, good or evil? Today some levity is required. An amusing video. And a funny website. About the pros and cons of the dreaded typeface. Thursday, October 23, 2008. I am still working on how to word it more concisely, but here is an in process version:. I was researching the meaning of the words doctrine, philosophy, method, etc. Check out what the word doctrine. Looks like on VisuWords. Its form is circular. Some of the branches are "ism" words. Girondism? One of the ...

ellen's pod* blog: Ben Fry
http://ellenspodblog.blogspot.com/2008/11/ben-fry.html
Tuesday, November 18, 2008. Ben Fry gave a speech at Auraria Campus last Thursday. It was a brief but interesting overview of Processing. I know the picture isn't great, but I was trying not to use the flash and I didn't have a tripod on hand. It is easy to see Ben is passionate about what he does, most my shots were even more blurry since he moves his hands when he speaks. Check out his projects. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

ellen's pod* blog: December 2008
http://ellenspodblog.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 10, 2008. Went on a class field trip yesterday to the MCA Denver. I guess I had a prior prejudice about Damien Hirst. Perhaps it was a bias about his commercial success. But upon viewing his work, I found I was mesmerized by how beautiful the "Saint Sebastian, Exquisite Pain" sculpture is. I'm still thinking about his pieces and the other artist's work.

ellen's pod* blog: comic sans, good or evil?
http://ellenspodblog.blogspot.com/2008/10/comic-sans-good-or-evil.html
Thursday, October 30, 2008. Comic sans, good or evil? Today some levity is required. An amusing video. And a funny website. About the pros and cons of the dreaded typeface. This site is really neat. I like the fact that it's not done in Flash. I really like the concept behind the site and how they approach this idea of comic sans 'invading' the typography realm. November 1, 2008 at 6:45 PM.

ellen's pod* blog: field trip reflection
http://ellenspodblog.blogspot.com/2008/10/field-trip-reflection.html
Sunday, October 19, 2008. On Thursday our class visited Anabliss. Graphic design firm and Hadley Hooper's. Exhibition and work space at Ironton Studios. I recognized my envy of metal, garden sculpture and a spacious studio filled with books, tools and a plethora of artmaking materials. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Can't think of any art medium I don't like. I especially like the collision and mixture of traditional hand made art with multimedia digital art. View my complete profile.

http://ellenspodblog.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 19, 2008. More on Historically Innovative Design. The assignment was to pick a firm. Engaged in design. I pick Pentagram. There are 282 examples of their work on AIGA's website in the design archives. 'Nuff said. See solar textiles here. Link to Getty research site. Re: AIGA's "Why do you design". My personal response does not differ much from others'. I'd say it is because I'm obliged to based on some compulsion in the fiber of my being. I agree with the construct of the process,...I don...
