Web 2 Digital Bible: Glo from Zondervan

Skilled Workman Posted on October 18, 2009 by David BergslandOctober 18, 2009

I ran across this in my Christian professionals group at Linked In this morning. It is a visually exciting presentation to be sure. My only question is: Can it really be used? I saw no place to add notes, new crossreferences or any of the other things necessary for a real study bible. I’ve included a scan of one of the pages in one of my bibles to show you what I mean. It may be that … Continue reading →

Why are publishing programs at schools shutting down?

Skilled Workman Posted on August 18, 2009 by David BergslandAugust 18, 2009

There are many reasons. I was talking with one of my friends on Facebook this morning. She wants to  get into teaching what she knows. She asked my opinion, and I went into my standard long lament about the state of graphic design and typography education in America. It’s bad, and  it has been bad for years. I first  learned this as an art director for one of the largest printing companies in town. One of our … Continue reading →

Knowing when to move…

Skilled Workman Posted on August 9, 2009 by David BergslandAugust 9, 2009

One of the largest difficulties in my life is easing myself into a project. My normal response is to get really excited and go gung ho ’til I’ve got it as far as I can go. I’ve got a new postulant at Radiqx and what I want to do is start dumping stuff on the poor man and just overwhelm him with input. Now, of course, I don’t think it is overwhelming but it always is to … Continue reading →

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 →

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 →

The Hackberry Font Foundry forms under a huge tree

Skilled Workman Posted on June 26, 2009 by David BergslandJune 26, 2009

Some of you may have heard: David’s retired from teaching and is now focusing on font design. He already has an apprentice with more making plans to join the foundry. Obviously, it was time for some changes. The name comes from a huge hackberry tree on the boulevard outside the front door of the foundry. As they add workers Hackberry fonts will be offering fonts from a variety of people. Radiqx is looking forward to the future … Continue reading →

Christian publishers: why we do what we do

Skilled Workman Posted on June 19, 2009 by David BergslandJune 26, 2009

The basic question is simple: Why is so much so-called christian product so bad, boring, trite, brain-dead, and so on? I don’t pretend to have all the answers, but I believe I understand the basics problems. This so-called Christian stuff comes under several categories that believers need to be aware of. Let’s mention a few off the top of my head: Large companies covering their bases: Often these are so-called Christian companies who have left the realm … Continue reading →

The changes to print are still building

Skilled Workman Posted on June 9, 2009 by David BergslandJune 26, 2009

This is an old draft I forgot to publish. I’m not sure the link even works. There is an excellent article by Dr. Joe Webb today in What They Think. It’s an analysis of the printing industry and the changes it faces. It a point of view that we as designers need to be aware of as we change from traditional printing to the on-demand model with research and fulfillment happening online. We need to be aware that many … Continue reading →

Using Nested Styles to auto-format

Skilled Workman Posted on June 8, 2009 by David BergslandJune 26, 2009

Here is an article from Creative Pro by Michael Murphy on the use of nested styles. He is a marvelous teacher, so I assume that the article is exceptional. I haven’t read it, because I have written similar things. But you should check it out. Every book I seem to use nested styles more. The ability to add custom formatting to the beginnings of my paragraphs is too titillating to me. I tend to use this option too much. … Continue reading →
