Graphic Design Is Messaging Although the artistic merits of good graphic design is at the forefront of what a graphic artist does the real backbone behind the design is the effectiveness of the message you are trying to communicate to the viewer. In our last article we quoted Marshal McLuhan saying, “The medium is the message” or

Graphic Design and Effective Messaging – Part II
The Medium Is the Message Marshall McLuhan coined the phrase “The medium is the message.” McLuhan was considered one of the cutting edge media theorists of his day and realized that the “container” of the message or the medium influenced how the final message was perceived. As graphic artists it is important to understand and use this

Back in February 2008, I shared a posting about one of my favorite disc golf sites out there, discgolfersR.us . A year and a half later, we’re still talking about the issue of image optimization a bit on that site, as can be seen at: http://discgolfer.ning.com/forum/topics/members-using-front-page-for I’m just happy we’re talking about it…as if even 1-2 more people read some of those discussions and then begin to take much greater care when posting imagery to that site (and others), the Internet will be just a bit better place to be! While talking about image optimization issues on the site again though, I thought I would look at a few more images on the site to see what might be able to be done. 16 Unoptimized .png graphics of flags – 60.4 KB 16 Optimized .png graphics of flags – 17.9 KB A simple PNGSlim batch optimization process on those 16 .png flags took 60.4 KB of imagery and reduced them to 17.9 KB in cumulative size, and improvement of 70 percent

I noticed recently that The MacArthur Foundation named its 24 MacArthur Fellows for 2009. For those that don’t know what I am talking about, these are the awards that are often dubbed “genius grants” by the media…where people with unique talents, ideas and gifts are given money to basically play and further explore whatever field of study happens to interest them. In my wildest dream of dreams, somebody someday nominates me for a Fellowship, the selection committee chooses me as one of its recipients, and then I have five years where I don’t have to worry as much about generating income…and can focus on really building all of this GraphicsOptimization content right! Well that…as well as my continued efforts to build what my seven-year old daughter calls “Daddy’s Death Ray,” AKA using Fresnel lenses and rocks to heat and purify water for home-heating and human consumption
