I don't have the book Envisioning Information yet, but I read the section about color and information in class! My ADD kicked in when it got theoretical with the diagrams, but for the most part it was informative. What caught my attention was that trained colorists can distinguish among 1,000,000 colors...WOW!
I've always been attracted to nature colors, and according to Tufte, most people are because we are familiar to it and it has authority. Interesting!
Color is my favorite part of design, and there's a lot to learn about it.

Bruno Mars - Just The Way You Are

My colleague Esther, who is a writer doesn't like this video because she thinks the video doesn't justify the words of the song. Me, on the hand love it, because it's creative and unique. What do you think?

The Los Angeles Printers Fair
Last weekend, Sept. 25, was my first visit to Los Angeles Printers Fair at the International Printing Museum in Carson. Being with couple of enthusiastic art professors made my long trip on a super hot day interesting. Their artistic energy inspired me. The fair was well organized. A large number of vendors showcasing the book arts, letterpress printing, paper, printmaking, handmade announcements, invitations. Many vendors selling letterpress cards, posters and letterpress supplies. The most interesting part was the vendor with the amazing etchings. Because of the heat we couldn’t last very long, but the few hours that we spent there was very rewarding. As a bonus, we went to Alpine Village, which was very close to he museum, and had German food and draft beer!
