A reminder of how everything’s changed

Skilled Workman Posted on July 24, 2009 by David BergslandJuly 24, 2009

print, death of print, interactive advertising, print advertising, traditional advertising, interactive marketing, Forrester Research, Ad Age : By Bob Sacks : Publishing Executive. Yes, we all know this, but we need to constantly remind ourselves. Media, communication, & publishing have radically and irrevocably changed. Like it or not — it’s reality. This is a short but good article with some good stats. We need to get on our faces and ask the Lord what that means to … Continue reading →

If you get involved in a large signage project, here’s help

Skilled Workman Posted on July 24, 2009 by David BergslandJuly 24, 2009

For some reason, I’ve gotten on mailing lists to look over books for publishers with the hope, on their part, that I’ll blog on their books. One of the books I received recently is another one from Princeton Architectural Press. At first glance it seems to have little to do with what we do here at Radiqx. But I think I should mention it, because I enjoyed reading it, and because you may need it at some … Continue reading →

If design is your calling, it’s your ministry

Skilled Workman Posted on July 22, 2009 by David BergslandJuly 22, 2009

Oh my God — NO! We do not need Bible thumping obnoxious brats in graphic design. We are to be salt, not spice One of the most difficult things for a new Christian to realize is that beating people over the head with Jesus is counter-productive. Jesus called us the salt of the world. Salt has a very special job and it is used in very special ways when we eat. Salt is a preservative It keeps … Continue reading →

Good design cares: book review

Skilled Workman Posted on July 20, 2009 by David BergslandJuly 20, 2009

I was sent David Barringer’s book There’s Nothing Funny About Design to review. It was an interesting read. First, let me say that if I hadn’t been asked to read it, I never would have done so. It’s for a world I do not inhabit. This is an intellectually stimulating, very entertaining read Of course it is. It won the 2008 Winterhouse Award for Design Writing. This is an award out of AIGA for writers about design … Continue reading →

It’s all vanity, so why bother?

Skilled Workman Posted on July 16, 2009 by David BergslandNovember 25, 2021

So, why do we do the things we do? I certainly hope that your answer is not “because I want to”. It would be nice to be able to assume that we are all doing what we do because of a higher level of motivation than that. But Solomon had it right… Again I am reminded of Oswald Chamber’s statement that you can always tell who the true believers are by the fact that they are sitting … Continue reading →

PORTFOLIO: What’s yours is NOT theirs. – Susan Kirkland

Skilled Workman Posted on July 8, 2009 by David BergslandJuly 8, 2009

PORTFOLIO: What’s yours is NOT theirs. – Susan Kirkland . This is an  excellent article in Fred Showker’s July issue of  DT&G News. It concerns what you can put in your portfolio and the legalities of the same. Basically if it does not violate an NDA and you are not using it to make money you are fine. To rephrase, If you need to show work you did for hire or even under a non-compete agreement, you … Continue reading →

Practical Font Design: Parts #1-3 Proof by David Bergsland (Book) in Arts & Photography

Skilled Workman Posted on July 6, 2009 by David BergslandJuly 6, 2009

Practical Font Design: Parts #1-3 Proof by David Bergsland (Book) in Arts & Photography. We just published a beta proof of the first three parts of the upcoming book called, “Practical Font Design”. It’s a guide to using FontLab to make fonts for yourself as a graphic designer who loves type. It will also be used as a sourcebook for apprentices of Hackberry Fonts. Their hope is that by providing the proof at the heavily discounted price … Continue reading →

The overwhelming urge to be radical…

Skilled Workman Posted on June 26, 2009 by David BergslandJuly 6, 2009

When people ask, “why Radiqx?” I give them the usual shtick about it means radical, back to the roots, basic Kingdom membership, serving the King. I don’t usually mention I chose the name because I’m crazy with a weird sense  of humor. But that’s more accurate than I’m comfortable admitting. I had one of those brain f***s again today. Why anyone would want a shirt like this, I don’t know. But then I would  wear it, so … Continue reading →

Careful! God is going on vacation

Skilled Workman Posted on May 29, 2009 by David BergslandMay 29, 2009

One of the real surprises when we moved back here to Minnesota after 25 years in New Mexico was Summer. I had grown accustomed to the eight month summers of mid-New Mexico on the high plains south of Albuquerque. March to October I could expect heat and sun. I came to hate the sun. It made it impossible to work outside, and on & on. I was really looking forward to summers in Minnesota. I knew about … Continue reading →

This site uses the pseudonyms of Bergsland Design for design work; and Radiqx Press for publishing. Both of these have been used for some time beginning in the past millennium. The Skilled Workman was begun in 2011 dealing with spiritual teachings about our Messiah and the Holy Spirit he sent to us to help us. If you want to meet Jesus, click here.
