Refresh BCS - Design is…
Roby gave a great presentation tonight titled “Design is…”
I’ve been a graphic designer for about 6 years now, and Roby’s presentation put into words a lot of things that I always just felt were right. Like the four basic principles of CRAP:
- Contrast
- Repetition
- Alignment
- Proximity
I can usually recognize when something I’m designing finally works, but his presentation showed WHY it works. So now I actually know what I should do to fix things, instead of just messing around till it ends up fixed. Roby’s an amazing designer and I hope I’ll be able to hire him on a future project. When you talk to him you can see he just gets it, and he’s one of the people you want working on your project.
Refresh BCS//Photowalking
We need to get this photowalking thing in College Station started. Now that school’s done I’ll have some time for it. We’re setting up http://photowalking.refreshbcs.org to be the home for Refresh BCS//Photowalking (or any name someone else comes up for it). So, if you’re interested in joining a photowalk, leave a message here with some ideas on what we should shoot and when. I’m up for anything.

I’m in of course. As far as locations go, there is always campus. The TAMU gardens are usually good for closeup/macros. Lake Bryan may not be bad either.
