The article does not explain what the value of pen and paper has over a digital note pad. It just declares it has one. However, I can sympathize. I teach drawing and design. Of course, most of my students were raised on digital media. For s

Sorry to sound cynical, but in my experience future work sections in papers tend to be rather self-serving. A means to big-up their own research, or explain away discrepancies. Looking for new ideas? Start hanging around with students/

The amount of admin jobs in universities is many times what it was ten years ago. In my last uni, the tek support staff was calculated to be 50% over what was required. The reason was that a large proportion came into work and did the bare

Yeh I see that now. My bad. I should have corrected. But I believe my point still stands... artists paint, photograph, sculpt etc. They don't just 'do'.

This attention to differences in textures and materials has a substantial genealogy. It is precisely what the Dutch and Spanish still life artists concerned themselves with. Helluva challenge for a painter, and a real chance to show off. Go

I was second author of a book on computational aesthetics and first author of a book on drawing. As the only native English speaker, I did all of the final re-write of both. For me also it was a turbo-boost to my ability to write. I thought

I would say that the ability to declare war is one of the things that distinguishes us as humans. Even chimpanzees declare war, and for the same reasons we do. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gombe_Chimpanzee_War

FYI... the easiest way to get colour pairs that feature this sort of perceptual uniformity is by using a Lab color picker, such as Photoshop's. Much better that just shifting the hue slider in RGB space.

The data is indeed pretty thin. I should know, I have looked for it when I was doing my own research on colour use in art. One interesting point... the utility of complementary pairs has a long history. Leonardo Da Vinci was writing about t

I teach colour use in a design school. The most important point TFA makes is to understand colour in terms of HSL. This is the perfect 'thinking space' of colour. The next point key point it makes is to visualise hue on the colour

Slightly disagree. In drawing, we also refer to mental templates. These are derived from long experience of looking at other people's drawing.

Another point is that very little about pre-iphone phones was customizable. I can't even remember downloading any apps before the iPhone. Custom ring-tones were therefore one of the few outlets for making your device your own.
