In case you are wondering, this illustration is created the ‘old school’ way i.e. doodled out on paper using pencil, then fibre tip pen and then scanned in.
iTunes 10 Logo
Posted by: | CommentsI’m really surprised about the amount of flack Apple are taking for their updated iTunes logo.
What’s wrong with it? Looks pretty good to me. Plus, it’s visually consistent with the iTunes logo on the iOS devices.
The problem is, Apple have become so big in people’s eyes (in particular the media), that everything they do nowadays is scrutinised with a microscope. Just look at the media furore surrounding the recent ‘Antennagate’ issue. You don’t see Sony getting that much negative media when they recall yet another batch of laptop batteries.
Looking across the dock on my Mac, there are dozens of app icons down there that are worthy of a stern critique.
Always, always backup
Posted by: | CommentsThankfully, I’m pretty geeky when it comes to backing up my digital files – but I haven’t always been.
Like most people, I became a diligent ‘backer-upper’ only after I’d accidentally deleted some files that weren’t backed up. Arghh!
