Here is the breakdown from what is at present a very disgruntled graphic designer: how to avoid being a complete idiot.

Don't ask your graphic designer to design something for print and then send him/her shitty images that you got off the web. So the logo that you got off the website (which the designer could've done all by themselves, DUH!) won't WORK. You will need to find someone in the company, or organisation, or whatevver, that has a PRINT QUALITY logo.

What does this mean you ask. It means that the image is at least 300 dots per inch, dpi for short. This means that a printer can print it and it won't look retarded and pixelated. How can you check this? You need to have some sort of image editing software under which you can see the IMAGE SIZE and under which resolution is listed. But you can skip this step of discovering that the logo from the web is 72 dpi by just going to the right people to get a logo for print, instead of getting it off the website like every induhvidual apparently does.

Then a much easier check to do is the format of the file. DO NOT send images in a Word document. We want JPEGs, or TIFFs, or GIFs. An image file, not some dumb other file with the image embedded inside it. We are not surgeons.

So get it right. 300 dpi is print quality. It's what you want. And you probably won't get it off a website or inside a Word doc.

Oh the hypocrisy

As aid agencies dispatched teams to find ways of delivering clean water, food and other supplies, US First Lady Laura Bush accused the regime of not doing enough to warn its people about the storm.

"Although they were aware of the threat, Burma's state-run media failed to issue a timely warning to citizens in the storm's path," she said at the White House, using the country's former name.

"The response to the cyclone is just the most recent example of the junta's failure to meet its people's basic needs," she said.

She Amazed Me

Recently on the Dilbert Blog, I mused about the seeming randomness of the lyrics of popular songs. And I challenged my readers to submit random lyrics of their own that could be combined into a song.

Lots of people submitted their random lyrics, and German band RIVO DREI put the best ones together, added music, and created a surprisingly great little song.

One of my blog readers took it an extra step and made a music video using nothing but images from the Internet. You might be surprised how well it came out.

Rotten Apples

In what appears be the first move toward censoring discussion of the issue, Apple Support has locked the discussion thread Bought new iMac 20" Faded Screen, which began on August 7 (the day the new iMacs were first sold). The thread had, until it was locked earlier this week, served as the major focal point for discussion of the gradient color issue that continues to trouble owners of 20" and at least some 24" 2007 iMacs.

The discussion thread had seen a recent surge in activity since it was mentioned in the article below, and since the beginning of the holiday shopping season. From August 7 to November 18, a 95 day period, the thread chalked up an impressive 15,000+ hits, an average of about 158 hits per day. However, in the time since then, November 19 to December 10, a period of only 21 days, the thread gained an additional 9000 hits, an average of about 429 hits per day.

Further exacerbating the censorship matter, new posts regarding the gradient color issue are being deleted and replaced with error messages, as seen in this example: iMac Screen Gradient - What's the next step? (we captured a screen shot of the post before it was deleted). Apple has not replied to any of the posts regarding the gradient color issue in its Intel-based iMac Display support forum, or for that matter, even acknowledged the existence of such an issue.

Daaaaaar is Riaan!

"Die bekende mediapersoonlikheid, Riaan Cruywagen, is Vrydagaand deur die Klub vir Studenteraadsvoorsitters met sy jaarlikse erepenning vereer.

"'By die geleentheid maak ons ’n toekenning aan ’n oud-student wat ’n wesenlike bydrae gemaak het tot die Suid-Afrikaanse gemeenskap en steeds sy of haar bande met die Universiteit belangrik ag. Die 2007-toekenning word aan mnr Cruywagen toegeken uit erkenning vir sy bydrae tot die uitsaaiwese in Suid-Afrika en ook meer spesifiek tot die ontwikkeling van Afrikaans in die uitsaaibedryf,' het dr Le Roux van der Westhuizen gesê.

"Mnr Cruywagen het in 1968 die graad BA (Tale) aan die Universiteit Stellenbosch ontvang en was tydens sy studiejare ’n inwoner van Eendrag-manskoshuis."
