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.
