Part 3 of 8 November 21st, 2008 Author of this post: Dave Holston | About Blog Authors » The term “professional designer” can apply to anything from a service provider to a strategic partner, depending on a person’s individual experience, their approach to problem solving, and their relationship with a client. At one end of the scale, a design vendor simply responds to a specific request made by a client and provides them with a commodity. They perform tasks that can be easily replicated by others. Competition at this level is based primarily on cost. In the middle of this scale are design professionals who offer direction and some degree of specialization. They bring not only expertise to the table, but also a degree of professionalism. At the far end of the scale stands the design consultant. They are able to serve in an advisory role, guiding the client through the design problem solving process. As design problems become more complex and require broader collaborative thinking, advisors provide not just solutions, but actually lend insight and depth, and help synthesize information amassed or created by collaborators.

The Quick Selection tool and the Refine Edge feature introduced in Photoshop CS3 go a long way, but there are more powerful solutions…Personally, I’ve been a fan of the Extract filter for a while. With it, you use a “highlighter” to roughly define the edge of the object you wish to extract, and Photoshop comes pretty close to what you’re looking for. The results can be a little rough or jaggy, but usable or easily fixable in many cases.

October 17th, 2008 Author of this post: Bill Weye | About Blog Authors »  The World Wide Web Consortium is planning to implement a new version of the Web accessibility guidelines this year, and it seems like many people have had negative things to say about the version 2.0 update (not official yet). These guidelines affect the way designers and developers build sites for the disabled, so it’s more important than ever as the Web becomes the de facto repository for information, commerce and entertainment.People smarter than I think the project is confusing, long overdue, and that the process of revision is broken.

As an object, the book is an impressive chunk wrapped in black striped plastic, with the vibrant colors of propaganda peeking through the stripes from the inside cover. Yet the book structure and narrative are highly accessible. Part coffee table artifact / part required design history reading, the book is a must for anyone interested in branding.

As usual, there’s plenty of excitement surrounding this announcement, as every Adobe release brings cool new features, better cross-product integration, and (hopefully) speed improvements that make for an easy transition to your usual work flow.  There wasn’t much chance that Adobe could beat the buzz surrounding last year’s CS3 announcement, since that was the first version of the suite to include applications purchased from Macromedia, like Dreamweaver, Fireworks, and Flash. And, realistically, CS4 isn’t the type of update every designer and her mom will run out and buy right away, but for you antsy early adopters, let’s have a look at some of the features that will get you ready to hit the preorder button… Read the rest of this entry » addthis_url = 'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.NotesOnDesign.net%2Finspiration%2Fdesign%2Flooking-ahead-to-adobe-cs4%2F'; addthis_title = 'Looking+Ahead+to+Adobe+CS4'; addthis_pub = 'sessart'; Posted in Design, RESOURCES | 2 Comments » Turning Social Media Into Gigs September 29th, 2008 Author of this post: Justin Ahrens | About Blog Authors »  If you are not actively involved with any social networks you need to stop reading this and sign up for a few. If you are not using social media to get your business out there and interacting in a new way with your clients, you are missing a huge opportunity. Now with those big words out of the way, I admit I went into the idea of social marketing my business a bit skeptical. But here is what I quickly discovered: talking to my clients about social media marketing was a great “in” to talking about a larger piece of their marketing planning.

Mary Catherine Bateson, Margaret Mead’s daughter, spoke and I heard things that hadn’t occurred to me. She talked about designing life and how to create and build the rituals that celebrate the journey of living. Then, I met Milton Glaser. From him I learned to take everything personally; to connect with the things I create in a real way. His definition of design has always stuck with me: Read the rest of this entry » addthis_url = 'http%3A%2F%2Fwww.NotesOnDesign.net%2Finspiration%2Fdesign%2Fthe-manifesto-of-the-new-designer%2F'; addthis_title = 'The+Manifesto+of+the+New+Designer'; addthis_pub = 'sessart'; Posted in Design, INSPIRATION | 8 Comments » Rebecca Cole: Flowers, Gardens, Elephants and Flamingos September 16th, 2008 Author of this post: Ryan Swearingen | About Blog Authors »  Rebecca works her magic with a soup can arrangement in her favorite space in the studio: a harvest table that doubles as workspace and office desk.Rebecca Cole thrives on creating unique floral, garden and interior designs with a rustic, natural aesthetic.
