“Every year, advertisers use the Super Bowl to try to make a name for themselves. Last year, two Internet start-ups got a lot of media attention by spending their entire yearly ad budgets to buy Super Bowl ads. Although there were a lot of newbie ads this year, only one dot-com advertisement was spectacular in concept and execution. The overall mediocrity was exacerbated by the deluge of crummy house ads for ABC and Disney that never seemed to go away. It felt like the overhyped Regis Philbin was actually sponsoring the entire game. My advice to the NFL: Don’t use ABC ever again.”

“If, like me, you are a collage artist, then copyright is probably a matter of great concern to you. (If it isn’t, then it should be!) Many artists seem to feel that thinking about legal niceties, like copyright, will inhibit their creative flow. Personally, I think it’s best to understand potential legal issues ahead of time. That way, the artist is able to focus on his/her work without the intrusion of fear of a lawsuit. That’s why it’s imperative to consider copyright issues before beginning a collage which might someday be published.”

“We think we are what a portal should actually be… a place to find out about web sites and the people that build them. A portal for the people, maybe. [WebbieWorld] is a web site devoted to the internet. It is a site that helps people find interesting sites without having to go through all the garbage that the portal sites throw at you. All of the search engines want to be your everything. We just want to tell you about web sites and web people. It is also a place where people can promote their site and try to increase their traffic. A site submitted to WebbieWorld will be listed and usually within 24 hours.”

“Wanted Fonts is a dynamic collection of unique, useful fonts for web developers, graphic artists, desktop publishers, etc. You may search or browse it in a number of ways including by author, category or name.”

There are a couple dozen available here for download: some in Mac PS and TT, some in Windows TT, some in all three and some in bitmap only. A nice lookin’ site in general.

“And then there are the visual theories — sensual ones such as the gestalt approach that says we notice things because of their graphic relationship to each other element and to the frame and the perceptual theories such as semiotics that says we notice things because of what they mean to us.” Get more Paul Martin Lester writings.
