In this lecture explore how a probability formula from an 18th century Mathematician parallels the graphic design process. Throughout I touch on concepts of objectivity, subjectivity, and how to negotiate the designer-client relationship in terms of revisions and dealing with feedback.

In this episode, I cover how scripting can save you hundreds of hours on mundane tasks.

In this episode, I cover how basic math operations inside of the software can save you time.

In this episode, I cover how transformations can save you time, and retain editability on your designs.

In this episode, I cover how using transform, align, and pathfinder combined will allow you to organize and make most all shapes in Illustrator.

In this lecture I attempt to draw connections through many different concepts and disciplines in a detailed breakdown of how everything we subjectively like as a culture can be objectively measured and broken down into numbers. This is the first part of a multi-part series which attempts to explain why we like what we like, and what designers can do with that knowledge. Part 2 aims to be about why everything in part 1 is true, and Part 3 will focus on examples for how to implement these findings in your designs.

In this lecture I attempt to draw connections through many different concepts and disciplines in a detailed breakdown of how everything we subjectively like as a culture can be objectively measured and broken down into numbers. This is part 2 which elaborates on how society as a whole shapes most of our design preferences, and in leaning into those cues we can become more effective designers.

In this lecture I attempt to draw connections through many different concepts and disciplines in a detailed breakdown of how everything we subjectively like as a culture can be objectively measured and broken down into numbers. This is part 3 which elaborates on how simple ratios can be seen and utilized in graphic design as a short cut to effective layouts and color choices.

In this lecture I detail how the speed of technology really began to ramp out of control from the moment I was born until today. This developmental overlap with my own life gives me a somewhat unique perspective on how to interact with technology and the role it plays in my everyday life. Parallels are drawn between my physical growth and the speed of transistor improvements with modern CPUs. This is a companion lecture to "How technology Acceleration Will Affect The Visual Arts".
