this conversation is being blogged…

Tuesday, March 27th, 2007

I’m not sure when this happened but I’ve managed to do more design while in school than when I was a full time designer. Well, at least I’m enjoying it now.

New flyers for THIS CONVERSATION IS BEING BLOGGED: Our lives, online, all the time, in the trend towards lifelogging, a panel discussion presented by the UNC-Chapel Hill chapter of ASIS&T that features Dr. Deborah Barreau, Paul Jones, Dr. Cal Lee, Dr. Jeffrey Pomerantz, Terrell Russell, and Chirag Shah.

I especially like the second one, because according to the flickr page I got it from (attribute to darwinbell), the conversation was in fact blogged (at least on flickr).

Large versions of the flyers can be found here.

More about Cory:

Cory Doctorow (craphound.com) is a science fiction novelist, blogger and technology activist. He is the co-editor of the popular weblog Boing Boing (boingboing.net), and a contributor to Wired, Popular Science, Make, the New York Times, and many other newspapers, magazines and websites. He was formerly Director of European Affairs for the Electronic Frontier Foundation (eff.org), a non-profit civil liberties group that defends freedom in technology law, policy, standards and treaties. In that capacity, he worked to balance international treaties, polices and standards on copyright and related rights, advocating in the halls of governments, the United Nations, standards bodies, corporations, universities and non-profit. Presently, he serves as the Fulbright Chair at the Annenberg Center for Public Diplomacy at the University of Southern California. His novels are published by Tor Books and simultaneously released on the Internet under Creative Commons licenses that encourage their re-use and sharing, a move that increases his sales by enlisting his readers to help promote his work. He has won the Locus and Sunburst Awards, and been nominated for the Hugo, Nebula and British Science Fiction Awards. He co-founded the open source peer-to-peer software company OpenCola, sold to OpenText, Inc in 2003, and presently serves on the boards and advisory boards of the Participatory Culture Foundation, the MetaBrainz Foundation, Technorati, Inc, Stikkit, Annenberg Center for the Study of Online Communities, SiteShuffle, and Onion Networks, Inc. His latest novel is Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town.

my first print design…

Thursday, August 17th, 2006


You might not know this but I’m a web designer by trade. Though I was trained in (and have a degree in) multimedia design, I basically stayed away from anything print. Too much to know about colors and scales and dpi and etc. But I couldn’t hide forever and today I received my first design in the mail — the ibiblio business card.

And the font is too small.

Oh well, lesson learned.
