English: A full adaptative indexed palette (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
In this episode, I decided to focus on color as topic. I explain how you can use a dollar bill in order to create a palette that subtly reminds the viewer of prosperity and wealth, how you can use photos as a source of palette, and sites that you can use to see lots of palettes that people are sharing to convey emotion and message without one lick of text.
I will be talking about http://365sketches.org, a daily design project using free software to the Arts, Tech, Community and Culture group at Artworks Trenton on Wednesday, February 27th, 2013. It ran between 2010 and 2013 with a break in the middle for two years worth of daily posts.
In this project, I made a design or image with free (libre) software, most often the open source illustration application called Inkscape. I started it as a personal venture in mastering Inkscape. But through social media, shows, requests, and demonstrations, the project became a community of practice, learning, and communication. In all of the various projects, collaborations, and work that I’ve done, I can clearly say that this one, costing only time and effort and returning my investment a hundred times over, has been the most rewarding by far.
Please come and learn how and why you should get started in developing a 365 project.

The Program: Determining and Reinforcing Organizational Branding for Libraries in Culture, Communications, and Social Media Efforts
John LeMasney will lead a discussion aimed at enhancing our awareness of how our libraries are interpreted as individual organizations and resources. Does it match our intended mission and outcomes? We can use cultural elements, communication methods, social media efforts, and interpersonal interactions with stakeholders to emphasize and underline what our libraries are and why they provide valuable benefits to their unique patronage. Please join us to add to this valuable discussion on brand in libraries!
