Earlier this month, WhatTheyThink released the second in our “Primer” series of reports—Inkjet Printing Primer: A WhatTheyThink Overview of Inkjet Printing in the Commercial Printing Industry, of which I am proud to have been the author. The purpose of our Primer reports is to get interested parties up to speed ...Wednesday, September 24th, 2008
I'm sure by know you have either seen or at least heard of Esquire's electronic paper-based cover. Even I picked up a copy, and I have never bought Esquire in my life. (And probably never will again.) I admit, though, if you leave the issue lying around, the blinking drives ...Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008
We seek them here, we seek them there... Anyway, via the invaluable Design Tools Monthly newsletter, Pantone tells us what the top 10 fashion hues for 2009 are going to be, and what they’ll be wearing on the runways of Paris (the best I can do is wear these on the runways ...Friday, September 19th, 2008
Remember virtual reality? No, I don’t either, as it has not quite lived up to the hype that surrounded it almost 15 years ago. But the idea has evolved. My print issue of Scientific American arrived yesterday, and as I was eating my bagel this morning, I read an article ...Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008
What? No one remembers The Man From UNCLE? Anyway, Day 3 (Day 1 here and Day 2 here) of the Creative Freelancer Conference began with another session of Walkies...this time I was dressed appropriately, but it was apparently decided to make it a 10K, so the group was up and gone ...Monday, September 1st, 2008

Greetings from Chicago and the Creative Freelancer Conference, sponsored by HOW magazine and Marketing Mentor. This is a three-day business conference for what the show organizers call “solopreneurs”—that is, freelance designers, writers, photographers, and others in the graphic arts. Wednesday afternoon, in the bowels of the Hyatt Regency—far from the reach ...Thursday, July 31st, 2008
Last Sunday’s New York Times had an interesting feature on reading that I think you all should...well, read. The basic question was: “online, are you really reading?” to which my initial response was, well, since I had read the article online, did I then actually read it at all? The article was ...Thursday, July 17th, 2008
While I’m sure Dr. Joe could very easily conjure up the necessary postal data to confirm or refute a similar trend in the U.S., in the U.K. at least—if this blog post on the Guardian’s site is to be believed—postcard writing (or, more to the point, postcard mailing) is experiencing ...Wednesday, July 16th, 2008
First of all, I would like to take this opportunity to declare a permanent moratorium on the phrase “It’s not easy being green.” It seems that almost every article or blog post in recent memory has featured this as a head or subhead. It makes me want to get rid ...
