Chuck Green's Design Likes
Dear Ed -- thanks for subscribing.

I have been asked questions about the necessity of a formal design education on many occasions (and again recently) -- I'm hoping some of you talented, seasoned designers will help me provide a worthy answer. (See "Experienced designers: How much design education is enough?" under Recent Tweets.)

Be well, Chuck

An interesting design idea for your next web design: "cinemagraphs"

Here's a recent, graceful adaptation of GIF animation produced in a collaboration between photographer Jami Beck and designer Kevin Burg. They take still images and add subtle movement in a discreet area of the image. The result is a still image with isolated movement - a very nice effect. (Be sure you wait for them to load fully so you don't miss the effect.)

Thanks to Daniel Will-Harris for pointing us to it.

Meet "eating designer" Marije Vogelzang


I find this interesting. I think it's safe to generalize that, in 2011, more people than ever before have the time and resources to spend on design appreciation. So it does not surprise me that all-things-food have captured so much attention.

Which brings me to Marije Vogelzang, dutch artist who bills herself as an "eating designer." It is interesting, yes, but what intrigues me more is how much more important design is becoming to our lives. With less time necessary for basic tasks, the focus changes. It is a good time to be a designer.

Meet illustrator Tavis Coburn

Travis Coburn pegs his style as inspired by 1940s comic book art, the Russian avant-garde movement and printed materials from the 1950s and 60s. His gritty technique and unusual subjects are well worth a look.

Facebook Studio: A give-and-take dialogue between Facebook and the creative advertising world?


In Facebook's own words, "Facebook Studio is a place to celebrate marketers who are creating and innovating on Facebook. It is a community where you can share your work, get recognized for your creativity, be inspired by your peers, and browse a collection of work that represents some of the best marketing on Facebook."

Ad Age reports, "Facebook executives say this move is a first step in a give-and-take dialogue between Facebook and the creative advertising world. Until now, Facebook has been mostly hands-off with agencies, letting them navigate the frequently changing Facebook waters without a compass."

Whatever it is, it's interesting. Assuming Facebook can maintain the enormous community it has been the recipient of in recent years - it is a platform that creatives must reckon with. Here is a spot for sanctioned conversation.

One all-beef website


Wow. There really isn't much that can't be programmed these days. A post on the New York Times' Bits blog pointed me to the McWorld - home of a game and story portal for kids.

It really is an impressive production. Lots of colorful, interesting illustrations, innovative interfaces, and, one thing I have not seen (or heard) before, audio rollovers (you roll over a button and a voice tells you what the button does).

My only (long standing) complaint has to do with the fact that Flash is used which means I can't point you to individual pages.

AutoCAD Tips Newsletter-How to cut out a groove to fit a tongue, align a rectangle with a line on the fly, and much more

Dear Subscriber,

Please forward this newsletter to colleagues who want to learn more about AutoCAD. If you received this newsletter from a colleague, sign up for your own copy at EllenFinkelstein.com.

In this issue:

  1. How to cut out a groove to fit a tongue in a 3D model with the INTERFERE command
  2. Get rid of the annoying tooltip when you hover over an object
  3. How to create a quick polar array with the ROTATE command's Copy option
  4. Align a rectangle with a line on the fly
  5. Excellent resource: CAD portal and forum
  6. If you like these tips, please forward this e-mail to your colleagues

Wow, I didn't realize how long it has been since I've sent you a newsletter! So a lot of tips have piled up.

1, How to cut out a groove to fit a tongue in a 3D model with the INTERFERE command

Bill Walker sent me this tip.

Sometimes you need to cut out part of one 3D object to fit another object. For example, in tongue & grove construction, you need to cut out the groove to fit the tongue. You can make this process easy with an option of the INTERFERE command.

Follow these steps....

2. Get rid of the annoying tooltip when you hover over an object

A reader of my book, AutoCAD & AutoCAD LT Bible (the 2010 version) wrote me the following:

"Whenever the mouse crosshairs land on [hover over] a line in a drawing, a small 'window' appears, listing

Line.
Color. By layer
Layer. Plan
Linetype. Continuous

This is extremely annoying ... This was never the case with previous versions of AutoCAD, and in my opinion, is not an 'upgrade' but a retrograde move."

As you can see, he is quite annoyed. Frankly...

Find out how to get rid of the "rollover tooltip.".

3. How to create a quick polar array with the ROTATE command's Copy option

Instead of creating a polar array, in some situations, you can use the ROTATE command's Copy option. It works best when you want to end up with 2 or 3 objects, because you need to repeat the ROTATE command for each copy.

For example, let's say that I want to...

Get the steps!

4. Align a rectangle with a line on the fly

You can align a rectangle with a line or other existing object on the fly, avoiding the need for a separate rotation.

Watch the video or read the steps.

5. Excellent resource: CAD portal and forum

I want to introduce you to a great resource: CADstudio and CADforum.

  • CADstudio is a free multi-language CAD portal (the link is to the English section) supporting CAD and GIS users, especially users of Autodesk products.
