Making an essential anchored object style

Skilled Workman Posted on October 21, 2009 by David BergslandOctober 21, 2009

Adding anchored objects can be a little tedious. One of the most painful aspects of making anchored frames to hold illustrations, sidebar notes, or headlines is the tediousness of the repetitive filling out of the anchored object dialog box. The simple solution is to make those settings in an object style. Then all you do is place the object as an inline graphic and hit the shortcut to convert it to an anchored object and to offset it where you need it. Or … Continue reading →

A List Apart: Articles: Reading Design

Skilled Workman Posted on August 21, 2009 by David BergslandAugust 21, 2009

A List Apart: Articles: Reading Design. I read this last night. It’s an excellent article on the importance of the content and its presentation. Of course, I like it because I agree with it. But you should find it an entertaining and thought provoking read also. Among other things, Dean discusses the pressures to focus on the design without ever reading the copy. Don’t do that. Read the article.

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 →

Skilled Workman Posted on August 17, 2009 by David BergslandAugust 17, 2009

A journey with an experienced font designer through the creation of a new OpenType font developed for release. This is also part of the training materials for the apprentices of the Hackberry Font Foundry. That’s the blurb on Lulu. This is the first limited release on my Practical Font Design book. It is limited because it’s done on FontLab 4.6 and FontLab 5 has been out for quite a while. As you know, Hackberry Fonts is a … 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 →

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 →

What are we going to do about PowerPoint?

Skilled Workman Posted on May 6, 2009 by David BergslandMay 6, 2009

This is an ongoing problem. I have a heck of a time getting my students to make a professional presentation they can use for their portfolio. Designers need to be able to make a presentation to their clients. The list goes on.  I got iWork with my new aluminum iMac — Keynote is pretty (much better looking than PowerPoint), but still just a very slick, good-looking PowerPoint. The problems, of course, are a lack of vector graphics, a lack … Continue reading →
