Really just a text and color study here, but I have been reminded a few times lately that when someone says a generalizing statement without any sort of social research or other foundation, you sort of come off like an idiot. Happy Saturday, y’all.

This post was about playing with Inkscape‘s configurable Axonometric (isometric in this case) Grid tool. I set the grid to be shown, and then started to build out a toaster on a counter. After creating the top, side, and front, I added the handle and slots. I then created some toast, introducing some curvature to the design. Then, I added some wisps of steam and a face. I enjoyed the layering so much, I decided to take the opacity down a bit to show the innards of the device. I duplicated the top wall of the device, made it dark grey, applied a blur, and placed it below the toaster to make a shadow, Finally, I placed a few shapes in the background to create a counter surface.
This was a quick study. I used the shape tool to make the sun, then added eyes and mouth with the pencil tool. I put in a blue background block, and then using the ellipse tool, I made a cloud with several circles. To create a single shape, I selected the circles, and did a path union operation. Finally, I added a blur to the clouds. UPDATE: I decided to give some shimmer to the clouds. I added a gradient from blue to yellow towards the sun for the stroke on the cloud, and gave a low layered duplicate for the sun shape a slight blur for a glow effect.

365 Sketches is a response to a post I read tonight that suggests that I design something every day ( http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/12/22/design-something-every-day/ ). As an Inkscape enthusiast, I wanted specifically to share ways in which I feel that Inkscape excels as a design application. I was inspired by the post to post a sketch every day from Inkscape, something quick, minimal, and demonstrative of Inkscape’s abilities. As a theme, I’m starting with faces, but I don’t feel like I’m limiting myself just to faces. If I feel like straying from the theme, I will. I also intend to maybe post more than one post if I feel like it, or let the post skip a day if necessary. All in all though, I’m going to try to end up at the end of 2010 with at least 365 sketches.
Here’s to Inkscape!
Stephan worked with me to reveal tools and techniques (ethernet sniffers, etc.) for protecting children at home from online predators.
Dombrowski, S. C., LeMasney, J. W., Ahia, C. E., & Dickson, S. A. (2004). Protecting children from online sexual predators: Technological, legal, and psychoeducational considerations. Professional Psychology: Research and Practice, 35(1), 65-73.
‘Abstract: Professional psychologists should more fully understand the dangers of online sexual solicitation and ways in which to protect youth from sexual predators who use the Internet. Although the Internet has many positive aspects, one of the most pernicious aspects is its potential use for online sexual predation. The Internet represents a medium that allows sexual predators access to countless children in a relatively anonymous environment. This article reviews the general strategies of sexual perpetrators and their characteristics, as well as the online strategies and characteristics of the cyber sexual predator. Information on how to protect children from this crime through a review of technological, psychoeducational, and legal considerations is provided. A description of the relevant laws as they relate to online solicitation and practicing psychologists is also provided. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)’
