So, I emailed Ben Fry for the processing links that he displayed at the reprocessing lecture @ FITC Toronto 2007, and he replied back to my email with lightning quick speed!

Personally, I was looking for flight404 and the music visualizations.. those are so NICE!

Got back from Toronto last night, FITC was really inspiring! I think this year was a good year to attend because of the newly released creative suite 3 by adobe, there were a lot of presentations that made use of the new creative suite, and I saw a lot of the features of flash cs3 and actionscript 3. The FITC ticket was definitely worth the money, and us new media kiddies had lots of fun attending the presentations and meeting the big people!

I think I’ll definitely go again next year!

Now that I’m back in Rochester, I’ve gotta get back into the working mindset. In Emerging Multi-Media, we’re currently doing a motion graphics package for Homework Hotline, a show shown on PBS all over New York. Check out http://flip.cias.rit.edu for the in progress work.

Tonight.. i was just playing around in photoshop with some stock photos i had lying around, and after a while it started looking like something. My only regret is not starting out in a higher resolution; otherwise it could have been a wallpaper or print =\ It wasn’t expected though so oh well~ I haven’t made a design in this trendwhore style in forever!

I got accepted to [Rokkan] as a design intern for the summer, I’m PUMPED! They’ve got some awesome work and clients, I’m feeling closer and closer to my goals in life. I can’t wait till I graduate next year and go out and do awesome professional work.

Jerlyn and I went to the legal wall in rochester today, it was cold but we took some pics! She took out her rebel xti that was on loan from the cage, and the panorama came out great!

check out her site, at www.jerlynthomas.com

After more than a year on hiatus (not having the time to complete a website, and not being content with a design by the time I had more time to work on it), JLD is finally back! Check it out!

launch

I’m relaunching this blog (previously at jefflindesign.com/designlife), partly because I want to start blogging my design stuff, and also because I deleted the previous blog from my webspace after becoming fed up with countless spam comments. I just found out about the Akismet plugin for wordpress and have enabled it. Hopefully this plugin and the changed address will help prevent much spam from getting posted.

I went blog template browsing this morning and couldn’t find anything better; Hemingway is still my favorite. I modified it a bit. I’ll probably change it up more when I have the time.

To my New Media Design Peeps - If you have a design blog that you’d like to get linked up with, let me know! You know where to find me… You can link to my blog using this address: http://labs.jefflindesign.com.

I’ve been working on my flash portfolio, and I’m hoping to have it done this weekend, so I can send it out. I’m also planning on designing some quick business cards and getting them printed at overnightprints. I requested a sample pack and received it within 2-3 days, the samples seemed to be of decent quality, and their prices seem fairly cheap. Hopefully I can have them designed and printed before FITC I’m looking forward to this trip, it’ll be a much needed, educational getaway from Rochester.
