Cool Tools: Pencil
0 commentsPencil mimics hand-drawn techniques and stays simple by doing so. You draw each individual frame as if it were a single animation cell. The great thing about this is that you are able to test out the animation by stepping through it frame-by-frame. You can even play through the entire sequence using built-in playback controls.

Thursday, June 12, 2008 0 commentsAfter waiting in line, spending $600, signing a two-year AT&T contract, and activating the iPhone, we decided that the next sensible action was to take the thing apart -- in classic TechRepublic Cracking Open style.

TechRepublic Webcasts
0 commentsJoin this live TechRepublic Webcast on June 19th to learn the results of a new industry survey on software development and quality. You'll find out how organizations like yours are meeting today's significant development challenges.
Overview: Development organizations today are faced with a number of significant challenges. They must coordinate disparate code sources, overcome code complexity, keep pace with rapid change, enforce compliance with mandatory processes, and work within budgetary constraints to name just a few. So, how are these organizations faring? Are developers successfully dealing with these issues or are they just getting worse?
Suggested Reading
0 commentsThere is a major disconnect between the life of a design student and the transition to being a design professional. To demystify the transition, NEVER SLEEP: Graduating to Graphic Design shares the failures, successes, and surprises during our years in college and progression into the field: the creative process, monetary problems, internships, interviews, mistakes, and personal relationships. This book can serve as the ultimate companion for design students, educators, and anyone breaking into a creative field.
At the combined age of fifty, Andre Andreev and Dan Covert met while studying graphic design at California College of the Arts and working for MTV's on-air design department in New York. Since then, they have started their own firm called dress code and co-teach at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn. Andre eats meat, Dan dislikes puppies.

Ed Fella is an artist and graphic designer whose work has had an important influence on contemporary typography here and in Europe. He practiced professionally as a commercial artist for 30 years in Detroit before receiving an MFA in Design from the Cranbrook Academy of Art in 1987. In 1997 he received the Chrysler Award and in 1999 an honorary doctorate from CCS in Detroit. His work is in the National Design Museum and the MoMA in New York.
