Even though I was afraid at first and had little or no blog experience I did it!
Looking back I'm glad I blogged-it's such as great way to get things of your mind.
Three cheers for blogging - hip-hip hooray! Hip-hip hooray! Hip-hip hooray!

Q & A

Q: To be a successful communication designer, do you need to know what is happening in the world around you?

A: Yes. To an extent all we do is communicate. It's in our blood and our social-responsibility. We tend to design for a purpose and that purpose is to get across a certain message. Our grasp on knowing what is happening in and around the world - be it media trends, local news, and world news enriches our ability to design further. As designers we are able to make something good out of something bad.

More Than Meets the Eye

Software.
Such a good thing.

Blaise Agüera y Arcas is the man behind Seadragon and Photosynth.

Seadragon [acquired by MS] changes the way we use screens, from wall-sized displays to mobile devices, so that visual information can be smoothly browsed regardless of the amount of data involved.

Photosynth takes large collections of photos [of a place or object], analyzes them for similarities, and displays them in a reconstructed 3-Dimensional space. The interface is awesome. Photosynth lets you:

• walk through a scene to see photos from any angle
• zoom in or out of a photograph even if it's gigapixels in size
• see where pictures were taken in relation to one another
• find similar photos to the one you’re currently viewing
• explore a custom tour or see where you’ve been
• send a collection to a friend

As much as an Apple enthusiast as I am I'm hoping to possibly see these to applications for Mac in the [near] future. Never say never.
