Hello, Fellow

Tomorrow night I'm being honored by the local chapter of the AIGA. I've been working for weeks on my presentation, created in Keynote - an incredible program by my standards. I'll try to post some samplings later. I've shared it with a few colleagues who were stunned to learn I used Keynote and not Flash - I guess that reinforces what I've been saying all along: "you can teach an old dog new tricks." Many revelations have come from producing this presentation - it's sort of a retrospect of my career and the path I took (or didn't in some cases) to get where I am today - resulting in why I've been given such an honor. The presentation lasts about 25 minutes and at the end there's a sequence of the many logos I created over the last 20 years. If you've worked in Keynote to achieve such a sequence you have to layer every logo on top of the other and plug in the seconds for fade in, fade out, etc. This beautiful collage came from that sequence. We'll be using in some new promotions soon...
