telePORTation Photo Booth

DLB just finished creating an installation for a Seattle exhibit based on the colors of shipping crates at Seattle's port.

The booth features custom software that colors the the user's picture in the palette of the Seattle port. We'll post more about the project and how the booth works later, but we wanted to share an image we took from the booth while setting up.

If you happen to read BlogLESS from the Seattle area, we encourage you to stop by!

Just In Time

This book project by Xavier Antin celebrates the history of production, using a different technology for each CMYK layer.

A book printed through a printing chain made of four desktop printers using four different colors and technologies dated from 1880 to 1976. A production process that brings together small scale and large scale production, two sides of the same history.

MAGENTA (Stencil duplicator, 1880)
CYAN (Spirit duplicator, 1923)
BLACK (Laser printer, 1969)
YELLOW (Inkjet printer, 1976)

Monday Tutorials

A random collection of how-to's.

1. How To Raise An Ethical Issue At Work: 3 tips from HBR

1. Treat the conflict as a business issue. Present the issue as you would any other business issue: provide sufficient detail, tailor your message to the audience, and deliver it in an appropriate context.
2. Recognize that it's part of your job. Ethical issues may feel like a distraction from "real" work, but identifying, thinking through, and acting on them are part of everyone's job.
3. Be yourself. Don't assume that you have to be confrontational, assertive, or courageous to bring up an ethical issue. The best approach is to be yourself and use a style you are comfortable with.
