Inner Narrative

Inner Narrative I sometimes forget that readers of my blog don't have access to my inner narrative. So, a bit of background. In mid March I started studying, the subject is 'Digital Media', which means I'm learning all the stuff I already know about computer based graphics, design and publishing, but this time I'll actually get the little piece of paper that says I know this stuff (because we all know that 15 years of self taught experience counts for less than fruit-fly shit). So in the weeks since I started this course I've learnt Computer Fundamentals (aka how to turn on a computer), The Internet (aka how to look up porn), Graphics and Publishing (aka now that you've had two weeks experience with computers producing a logo, letterhead, bizcard, flyer, cd cover, abstract photoshop art, and a map should be simple) and now where up to 2D Animation. The business card from a few entries ago was the one that I did for an assignment in class, a mock up, I might use it for other stuff I do in class, but thats it. I'll probably end up posting a few things that I do in class and share with the world the fun I'm having.

  1. What’s a tromidon? Interesting to hear about the digital media course. It’d be nice if it taught you anything new, though. Years ago, I got a very technical book on computer graphic design, which I ploughed through. It’s not completely and utterly useless. So I go around and steal bits of other people’s code.

  2. Tromidon? Haven’t decided yet. Any ideas? We will one day get onto 3d animation and then I’ll be learning. And code theft is the way to learn how to write better code. Small parts of code at least. It would be like saying you stole your B-flat from Mozarts 3rd.

  3. Valid point re code theft. Example: The random quote script that I use is heavily based on a random image script from another site. But it’s mine. On Scott’s CV site, I use javascript fairly heavily to manage multiple documents, and that’s all self-coded. But I couldn’t have done it without that random image script.
