Fashion Timeline

Fashion_TimelineHere’s one for the fashion studies teachers and students. This Kent State University Museum collection is presented in an interactive timeline.

Adobe Print Design Guide

A while back, I featured an article from Printwand created for CompanyFolders, about Adobe Illustrator v. Photoshop v. InDesign. CEO, Vladimir Gendelman from Printwand shared an updated angle on this resource that takes a more ind-depth look at Adobe Creative Suite from a print design perspective. It examines strengths and weaknesses of each program and provides some scenario discussion about when to consider using one program over another.

How A Car Engine Works

This fascinating page was shared by my pal, Theresa Paltzat. From the site: “Did you know that your car will take in 20,000 cubic feet of oxygen to burn 20 gallons of fuel? That’s the equivalent of a 2,500 sq. ft. house! If your only experience with a car engine’s inner workings is “How much is that going to cost to fix?” this graphic is for you! Car engines are astoundingly awesome mechanical wonders. It’s time you learned more about the magic under the hood!”
