Audio files

So I wanted a specific audio file from NPR, it is David Sedaris' Santaland Diaries. There are other recordings of it that I could buy, but I liked the music in this NPR version, so I had to figure out a way to download a streaming audio file. I used the iRecordMusic program for Macs and it converted the streaming audio to an MP3. I believe what I downloaded was a free demo, but it served my purpose for now.

Update

My camera's battery is dead, but I'm almost done with the box. I believe I'm developing tendonitus in my elbow from cutting balsa wood. I'm quite sure that my attempts to make this package are the most inefficient and most painful. I should have know from last year when I cut letters out of mat board that this was not going to end well.

My Thursday Evening

Check out the light set up at the Smashing Pumpkins concert. I thought I was going to have a seizure.
*This is not my video
**I know very little about the Smashing Pumpkins, I was invited to this show by someone who didn't want to go alone.

I believe that this kinetic type treatment is my favorite of all that I've seen so far. I like the way he used a texture on the type to make that surface more active and the use of scale. It looks sophisticated.

I've changed up the colors a bit. I hope the relationship is still working. I am worried that this color palette doesn't feel as nuanced as the last one. I also am unsure if it is too much of a good thing with the front and the back treated the same, but the front is Spanish and the back is English.

Ideas for Moving Type





And I watched the opening to Romeo and Juliet

"Do you bite your thumb at me sir... do you quarrell sir... blah blah blah
