On another note, wouldn't it make sense for Nintendo to pull a Sony at this point and create a Nintendo store for Android? In a year or so a good amount of Android phones will have glasses free 3D.
This looks insanely cool, but it won't render for me. I'm running the newest version of Chrome on Snow Leopard which is supposed to support WebGL, other examples work fine, but I'm just getting a checkered background.
Both. For instance, on a lot of the YC and newer startups (I can't really cite them from memory) you see these really nice background patterns on landing pages, however, I have no idea how they are made. I have very little formal training as far as graphic design is concerned, so while I might be able to make a pretty logo following a tutorial I'm afraid the fundamental structure of the page will be bad.
Someone on this thread recommended a book called Design Elements, and it's great and just what I needed actually.
I'm going to graduate next year, so maybe I'll take a year off and try to find something to do in NYC. Do you recommend college before working so I have an easier time finding relevant jobs? I imagine it would be difficult to get a job at a digital advertising agency without any credentials. Realistically I can't work during High School, so I guess I should just study up in the meantime.
Brian Eno is amazing, and I completely agree with him on all of those points. Maybe programming or math in general scares away artists, but I think there's a lot of untapped value in computers artistically speaking.
Arduino seems really interesting, I'll have to check that out, thanks a ton.
It seems backwards that an artist has to produce something physical for it to be valuable, but I have no problem doing that if it's necessary. If I were to make prints like you said, do you think slight differences in the same idea would be justification for a higher price? For instance, put some random properties into a visualization, and churn out 1000 copies of that, so each one is relatively unique. Do you think that would be viable?
I don't understand why people expected so much from Gingerbread in the first place. So they expect Google to only release updates with massive feature additions? Personally I would rather have small incremental updates than nothing at all.
