SEA DRAGON? SEE DRAGON? C DRAGON?

The video we watched in class last week about the imaging software was pretty exciting to see. I imagine that online advertising would take a huge turn if that sort of technology were actually available to the public.

While we can think of many good things that could come of this technology, we must think of the bad. Imagine all of the bad photos [read: incriminating/embarrassing, etc.] that could be embedded and/or hidden in a sea of high resolution photos. Zooming in and in and in - there could be information hidden within the information, within the information!

OK, you get where I am going with that. It could all be very useful in saving space on a website or on your desktop. It would be great for hand held devices too, me thinks.

DESIGN SHIFTS IN LEBANON

I just read an article about design in Lebanon - apparently it's really taking off. The article also discusses what graphic design is - you can read it here if you like.

It's interesting - after writing a paper for class, and just reading articles like this one, I start to think more and more about what graphic design means to me. In the past when people ask me what I will do once I am done with school, the answer always seemed so obvious - graphic design = magazines, ads, packaging, etc. But that is all commercial work.

I should really be thinking about other options/venues to use my graphic design skills/knowledge that isn't directly related to making money or selling a product.
