"Look out the window!" "Where?!" "Snow!"
So...uhh...has anyone noticed that there are certain things that you cannot do with Acrobat? I keep drawing to the same conclusion that you can make some really cool stuff, but not quite as cool as a website. I'm sure there are ways to do some of the things I'd like to do, but hey, then again, I'm starting to know this program really well...so maybe there are limitations, huh?
My final project is being done on the Rocky movies, and even though it only has to be like 5 pages, I've turned it into like a 10 page thing. And to be honest, it's not that much extra work...so anyone who complains that they can't keep up with the work clearly doesn't put any effort in.
Wow, listen to me ramble here. Well, listen some more....
There is no particular design or design element I want to talk about this week, but I do think the snow outside is pretty cool. What do you think? I hate the fact that I have to drive to school in it, but it's definitely cool to see it on the ground. Makes me know that winter is actually here, you know?
And hey, has anyone seen the Christmas decorations go up around your neighborhood? I saw some people had their stuff up before Thanksgiving...that's just crazy.
Seems that people get more and more into increasing their electrical bills...and to be honest, their yards don't even look that great.
Ok, I suppose this is design, but hardly what I would classify as a good thing. Too many lights = bright flashy mess. Just a thought.
Enjoy.

Yay, I finally got my G4 with Panther OS! How great is that? Better yet, how happy am I? Ok, enough celebration.
Recently I went to see the Blue Man Group (probably well known for the Pentium Processor Commercials they did) at the Oakdale Theater in Wallingford, CT. They were awesome to say the least!
I decided to go on their website, just to see what they had to offer. I found the design pretty cool, as it's a very simple use of lines to create the desired effect. A very simply black and white text to background is used, with what appears to be arial font.
Considering their show is so intense, the simpleness of their website can almost add to the experience....and besides, clean websites are always the best.
So that's basically all I have to say....but I strongly recommend that you take a walk around this site; especially to view some of the downloads.
And if you have the chance, get some tickets to a show...they're incredible in concert.
