We must be who we are

Skilled Workman Posted on October 13, 2024 by David BergslandOctober 13, 2024

We must be who we are in the midst of the assault. The barrage of lies tempts us, with its confusion, to give up and let someone else do the deed. Our focus must be on Truth. Truth is a person, the one who we accept as the King of kings, and the Lord of lords. Yeshua Messiah is Truth. He defined it when He created everything in this 3D universe. Jesus defined truth, beauty, love, holiness, … Continue reading →

The Age of Reason started it

Skilled Workman Posted on April 8, 2024 by David BergslandApril 8, 2024

The Age of Reason started it. Started what? The Great Falling Away, of course. The beginning was well hidden by civilization. The plan is the complete rejection of God and Truth. It’s so outrageous that a small beginning was required. But once you think about it at all, nothing less will do for the Lawless One. In the seventeen hundreds, these concepts had already been stirring around throughout the Western world for quite a while—beginning in the … Continue reading →

David Blatner defines design

Skilled Workman Posted on April 3, 2023 by David BergslandApril 5, 2023

David Blatner defines design in his latest weekly posting on Linked-In. It seems good enough to me so I decided to share it with you. It’s not earth shaking, and has nothing to do with spiritual reality. But my hope is that you find it helpful. David Blatner defines design What is design? Design is not about making stuff look pretty. It’s not about making it “pop” or look cool. Design, at its core, is the practice … Continue reading →

Araldo is a headline font with spunk

Skilled Workman Posted on December 7, 2021 by David BergslandDecember 11, 2021

Araldo is a headline font with spunk for today. I needed something with a little life for my new book production group: Biblia Serif, Dreatha, and now Araldo. This new font family is doing well for me. Biblia Serif and Draetha are both excellent book production font families. In other words, they are not memorable. In fact, if they do their job well, you don’t even notice them. But as I mention in the flyer to the … Continue reading →

Some unspoken assumptions rarely admitted

Skilled Workman Posted on November 2, 2021 by David BergslandNovember 2, 2021

Some unspoken assumptions rarely admitted for believers in America these days should be mentioned. I noticed one of my bumper stickers for sale & chuckled. Yeshua Adonai LIKE IT OR NOT. Just a straightforward statement of Truth—right? I regularly see someone on the tube—usually a maker on YouTube—and wish to myself that I could just say to him or her, “You know, it really doesn’t matter what you personally like or believe. The Truth is that Jesus … Continue reading →

Change brings opportunity every time

Skilled Workman Posted on September 1, 2021 by David BergslandSeptember 1, 2021

Change brings opportunity every time —that’s my summation of 2020 and 2021, so far. Suddenly I’m a writer of fiction. It’s been a fun ride. Nine novels since the first of January 2020. But that doesn’t even begin to mention the change in my spiritual walk. With Pat’s death, I turned to Jesus. He has responded with love and power. It’s been amazing. I was always told, draw near to Him and He’ll draw near to you. … Continue reading →

Black and white often provides focus

Skilled Workman Posted on March 8, 2021 by David BergslandMarch 8, 2021

Throughout my life as an artist/designer I have been struck with how black and white often provides focus. It’s  beautiful visual decision, but it tends to be more difficult than color. Elegance and simplicity are very hard to achieve without being stark and lifeless. The painting on the left is the first one I painted after I met Jesus in January, 1974. Being left-handed, it reads from right to left. The simple exuberance of leaving the chaos … Continue reading →

Building powerful presentations with type

Skilled Workman Posted on August 30, 2018 by David BergslandAugust 30, 2018

I received a solid article on presentation design this morning. Building powerful presentations with type requires good typographic knowledge and a clear understanding of readability. I don’t think Illene went far enough on some points, but basically, keep it simple and clean with legible fonts. Simple, right? Certainly not! You’re fighting habitual reader/listener issues—boredom, attention deficit, ignorance, and a host of other issues. Your presentation needs to be one of your most powerful tools. You need superior tools—and … Continue reading →

Digital books still increasing

Skilled Workman Posted on January 5, 2017 by David BergslandJanuary 5, 2017

There’s a lot of confusion among authors today. Primarily, it shows as: are digital books still increasing? The answer shouts back: Of Course! Here’s a quote from Jane Friedman’s post this morning Looking Back at 2016: “The market for adult fiction is primarily a digital one “It’s commonly said that in the United States, overall trade book sales are divided about 70-30 print-digital, and that ebook sales at traditional publishing houses are flat to declining. (You’ve probably … Continue reading →

Keeping your mind open to creative typographic solutions

Skilled Workman Posted on May 10, 2016 by David BergslandMay 10, 2016

One of the main troubles we have in setting books for readability is the set of largely subconscious rules we’ve learned over the years. In an entertaining and useful article today by Jonathan Hoefler named: How to Use Clashing Fonts He gives us several examples showing why it is necessary to break common “rules” in the interest of both style and readability. In the example he gives above, he shows the use of two virtually identical Dutch Old … Continue reading →
