Spring Bouquet Word of the Day

asphodel

This spring-blooming European bulb is a suitable candidate to salute in spring. The name is from Greek; the ancient belief that asphodels were the favorite food of the dead resulted in their being planted near graves. Modern daffodil, though a different plant, is derived from the word asphodel.

Red Pen Diaries: Zero Tolerance for Comma Splices

Are comma splices running rampant, or is it just me?
I keep seeing them in newspapers and magazines and on billboards and can't help but wonder if they, too, are now becoming acceptable, as have so many once-verboten grammar, ahem, alternatives before them. I sure hope not — as you might guess, I'm agin 'em. Click here to read the whole article...

Big Fish Word of the Day

coelacanth

It's just as well that this fish doesn't surface too often: its spelling and pronunciation are both counterintuitive. Once thought to be extinct, it now turns up from time to time in the world's oceans. Its name is a coinage from Greek roots meaning "hollow" and "spined."

When Typos are Set in Stone

Every writer knows the feeling: you've just released a carefully edited piece of prose into circulation, and when you take another look you cringe at the sight of a typo that you missed. With online writing, typos can very often be fixed without anyone even noticing. Printed errors usually require red-faced corrections. But don't feel too bad: imagine if your typos were etched in granite for all to see!

Shall We Dance? Word of the Day

terpsichorean

This adjective has no obvious handles unless you're clued up on Greek mythology, specifically on Terpsichore, the totally cool Muse whose brief was dancing. No photographs survive, but a Google image search rewards the time that it takes with some imaginative images. The last part of her name is also seen in choreography.

Moving with Deliberate Haste

President-Elect Obama has begun to assemble his nominees for Cabinet posts — something he had promised to do, in his first post-election press conference, "with all deliberate haste." If deliberate means "marked by careful consideration or reflection," and haste means "overly eager speed (and possible carelessness)," doesn't that make "deliberate haste" an oxymoron?

Private Affair Word of the Day

poteen

Funny how the same substance can have different names, depending on whether the law smiles on it or not. Poteen is privately (and illegally) distilled whisky in Ireland, corresponding more or less to moonshine in US English. The word is Irish, natch, but related to English "pot" with a diminutive suffix on the end.

Now You See Him Word of the Day

theophany

It's the experience that many hope for but few achieve: the appearance of a deity to a person. The Greek roots mean "god" and "appearance" and occur individually in hundreds of other English words, such theology, theocracy, and monotheism (for the god part), and diaphanous, phantom, and sycophant (for the appearance part).

Five Ways to Put More Hours in Your Writing Day

Practice matters. That not-so-profound thought occurred to me while I was standing on the edge of a field recently, basking in the warmth of a glorious autumn afternoon and watching my 14-year-old daughter play soccer.
Okay, let's be honest, I wasn't standing so much as sitting in a lawn chair. I was also contemplating how much more fun it would have been if I'd thought to fill my water bottle, which was opaque, with something made from, say, hops. It's tough being a soccer mom, lipstick or not. Click here to read the whole article...

What can you use Toolbox for

"Since im far from reaching the demotool goal, you obviously cannot use it for creating demos. However you can use it for tasks that involves bitmap or vector graphics. Examples of this could be:

* photo manipulation: crop, filters, watermarking
* creating seamless tiles (even for non-square textures)
* creating logos, typography, icons
* creating web buttons, frames, textures
* creating ui prototypes and placeholder graphics
* digital art

Most of the images in my gallery has been made entirely with Toolbox. I know the limitations and what is possible. For you it may be endlessly frustrating because some elementary building block just isn't there. In this case please ask me for more features and I will look into it, so it can be fixed."

Design Yourself - Karim Rashid

2008-09-23T13:19:00.002-05:00

I've been reading Karim Rashid's "Design Yourself" and while in some ways it is fairly superficial I like the idea of taking a look at one's activities, routines, values and goals and trying to determine an organized plan to live your own idea of a meaningful life

http://www.amazon.com/Design-Your-Self-Rethinking-Live/dp/0060839023/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1222193767&sr=1-1

The Creative Process of Doing Something New

I came online to write The Creative Process of Doing Something New and thought it was interesting that on my way here, I found the following in my daily horoscope. I don't know how much stock I put in the validity of horoscopes, but for whatever reason, I read mine almost every day. Here's what it said:

As you know, dear Taurus, you have reached a turning point in your life. The hardest part about making this decision is, as usual, saying farewell to your old ways. The past can seem so cozy and reassuring, especially when the unknown looms. It takes strength and determination to leave it behind. But whether it is a matter of your career or your love life, you have personal goals that cannot be sacrificed or denied.

The process of leaving our comfort zones and doing something new can either be daunting or exciting depending on our mindset. Is this change something we are actually passionate about, or something we are forced into doing for various reasons? Are we the type of personality that continually reaches for a higher branch or are we happy to stay in the same place, painting or designing in the same style year after year?

Most people when facing a change or personal challenge might find it stressful, but it doesn't have to be. It can be a really cool, exciting thing. It can inspire you and the other people around you. It can transform your life and your art in the most remarkable ways. Kids are often fearless in trying new things and its not until we grow older that we tend to get stuck in the day to day excuses of why we shouldn't, couldn't, wouldn't be able to test new waters. Sometimes we don't even realize we are stuck...

Regardless of whether the change is self imposed or brought upon us, I absolutely believe that exploration and change is good. And as creatives most of us are looking for expansion in our art, our design and in our lives. There is a creative process, I believe, that occurs when we decide to expand our horizons. Just as when we contemplate the start of a new project, the same can be said when we ourselves are the project. It takes bravery and determination but the end result is always something we can be proud of because whether we fail or succeed, at least we gave it a shot and we are not in the same spot we were 6 months ago. We've grown.

When was the last time you painted in a different palette? Explored a new medium or just messed around with a new software application for the sake of playing? Here's a list of a few things that might help get you started:

1.
Try a new medium or experiment with a new style that has inspired you. Pick up a crayon and draw with the fearlessness and excitment of a 6 year old.
2.
Be fearless. Your experiments don't have to go public until you are ready for them do so. Take baby steps until you get close to the final result.
3.
Do a "brain dump". Don't think. Just write down everything that comes to mind, draw it out, take note of certain words and ideas and put it all on a sheet of paper. Let your mind be free to wander.
4.
What were your goals two years ago? Five years ago? Have you met those goals or discovered new goals? Write your goals down. Seven years ago I made a "5 year plan". It was very satisfying when at the end of that five year time period I reviewed that plan and found I nailed almost every single goal.
5.
Surround yourself with motivated, inspirational people.
6.
Sample a new food, a new drink; watch a different type of movie. Sometimes it is just the little things that accumulate in day to day living which make all the difference.
7.
Rearrange or redecorate your studio or office. Every time you walk into the place it will remind you to pursue something new and unique.

There are so many things to explore and learn. I'm feeling inspired and maybe it is because the sun is shining again here in the Northeast or maybe because I just feel the need to design something new, use a new format, think in a new way, and travel to new places...but I encourage all of you to design yourself.

Design yourself Suggested Reading: A great book. Lovely design. Handy to hold and take with you and can be used again and again to inspire you and keep you on task as you explore your art and your life.

Visual Thesaurus Word of the Day: oxymoron

Opposites Attract Word of the Day

oxymoron

Stuff this one in your quiver of clever turns of phrase: it's juxtaposition of terms that seem to contradict each other, like the currently vogue epithet for Andrew Jackson, "The Atrocious Saint." The Greek root means "pointedly foolish."
