![]() It was really important to me that the colour of the paint matched the colour of actual blood. So you know, if I’m working with a screen printer, I want to know that the print that they make of my work is the colour that I want it to be, so Pantone’s really useful for me for that.īut also, even with within the paints, so I just did a thing where I made some paints, which actually uses the blood of gay men. So I make a lot of screen prints as part of my art. But why why do you as an artist use Pantone? Art, activism, and a very red pigment. Hackaday I understand Pantone is something used by designers, so I’ve worked for companies in the past where the designer would specify a Pantone index and it would appear on the screen, on the printed box, and on everything else identically. I had a phone conversation with him, in which he explained why Freetone had come into being. In fact it’s been argued that they are indistinguishable from those behind the Adobe paywall”. Most recently in response to the Adobe/Pantone controversy he’s released Freetone, a free plugin for the Adobe suite that in the words from its web page contains “1280 Liberated colours are extremely Pantoneish and reminiscent of those found in the most iconic colour book of all time. He’s drawn attention to the issue by releasing his own art materials in colours that directly challenge those which companies have tried to claim for themselves, and is perhaps best known in our community for challenging Anish Kapoor’s exclusive licence for VantaBlack, the so-called “world’s blackest pigment”. Stuart Semple is probably one of the more famous contemporary British artists, but in relation to this story it’s his activism over the issue of colours and intellectual property that makes him an authority. To rectify this omission we needed to step outside our field and talk to an artist, and in that context there’s an obvious person to interview. It’s fair to say though that in our focus on hardware hackers and open source enthusiasts, we missed its effect on artists and designers. Interview With An Artist And Pigment Activist The palette that could start a revolution. Our coverage focused on our community, and on how the absurdity of a commercial entity attempting to assert ownership over colours would have no effect on us with our triple-byte RGB values. We recently covered the removal of Pantone colour support from the Adobe cloud products, with the two companies now expecting artists and designers to pay an extra subscription for a Pantone plugin or face losing their Pantone-coloured work to a sea of black blocks.

![]() The research suggests labour market disruptions and the early impacts of the pandemic may have "forced" many workers into early retirement. They also struggled more with their overall well-being and were less likely to receive a pension than those who had stopped working in previous years. Relative poverty refers to people living in households with income below 60% of the median in any respective year.Īccording to the research, many older people who left work in the year 2020-21 have had to cut their food expenditure by around £60 per week. ![]() The report warns that older people who stop working often never re-enter the workforce, meaning this group may be experiencing long-term poverty and greater hardship amid the cost-of-living crisis. New research revealed 48% of people in this age bracket who stopped work in 2020-21 were in relative poverty, even though overall poverty rates declined that year.

J15:38 EST #2 Well, 2½ years later and here's another update.However, I'm apparently not in the majorityas VersionTracker comments would suggest. ![]() I'm quite accustomed to this type of protection since I'm a person who distinctly remembers the watermarks that were laid on top of every printout I made while in college taking courses that taught me how to use Aldus PageMaker and FreeHand (yes, I've actually been using those programs long before Adobe and Macromedia, respectively, got their hands on them). Personally, I had no problem with the developer's decision to place a very large unregistered message across the image instead of making it display normally for period of time before not working at all. So, now, after enjoying looking at EarthDesk for a while, I can watch my Marine Aquarium fish swim behind my icons while I continue working!Īdditionallyit was drawn to my attention that I may not have sufficiently described the nagware EarthDesk uses. It seems smoother and more stable, it includes an application to set which screen effect you want as your background as well as an application to start the last-used effect at login without having to open the control interface, and, best of all, it doesn't interfere with using icons or anything else on your desktop. It's called CoolBackground and it seems to do what SaverLab does, only better. Janu18:33 EST #1 While proofreading this month's issue of ATPM, I learned in another article that there's an alternative to the SaverLab utility I mentioned, above.He also indicated that automated Daylight Saving Time is likely to show up in a future release. When I inquired about these items, the developer responded (and did not take his time doing so) that EarthDesk is a Carbon application so it can run on OS 8.6 through 9.2, and Carbon applications can’t be System Preferences panes or menu bar icons. Currently, you must click a checkbox to toggle it on or off and remember to do so every time you “spring ahead” and “fall behind.” Another helpful addition would be to automate Daylight Saving Time. The wallpaper does remain visible if you quit the application, but it will no longer stay current. Currently, an application must be running (which means its icon is in the OS X dock) for the image to update. What I’d like to see is either a menu bar or System Preferences pane to control this product. Regardless, my rating of Very Nice instead of Excellent was not based on its price. (Yes, I remember the tightwad days of college.) I certainly wouldn’t complain if it were $10 or $12, but I didn’t mind the $20. I can understand why some people might find it a tad steep. Other VersionTracker comments I read complained about the $20 price tag. ![]() Where the broken-up light from different prisms overlapped, the wall was white! The colors had mixed again into white light! He also lined up two prisms, putting a wall with a hole between them. In one experiment, Isaac set up three prisms in a row so that light from a window would shine through them, but their rainbow colors would overlap on the edges. His experiments led him to the conclusion that plain white light from the sun was actually made up of all these different colors, and the prism split them apart. Most people at the time thought that prisms somehow “corrupted” white light, adding in the colors of the rainbow, but Isaac suspected this wasn’t true. He was fascinated by prisms, crystals shaped like triangles that create rainbows when light shines through them. Isaac’s experiments with light had better outcomes. We now know this is impossible, but many people at the time thought it could be done. He also dabbled in alchemy, attempting to create gold from other, non-precious materials, a hobby he would come back to many times over his life. He tried to concoct a cure for the plague using rose water and turpentine, but it didn’t work. Some of Isaac’s experiments didn’t work out. He spent his days reading, calculating, and setting up experiments. He finally had an excuse to spend all his time alone in his studies, and he took full advantage. An outbreak of bubonic plague was sweeping England, and he felt it was best to isolate himself. His books, his quill pen, and the shadows creeping across the walls seemed to be the only company he needed as he delved into these subjects in a search for truth.Īfter graduating from Cambridge, Isaac returned home for two years. There he could let his mind play– with the ideas of the ancient philosophers, the observations of famous astronomers, and complicated mathematical formulae. He mostly ignored his fellow students, even his roommate, and spent most of his time alone in his room. When he had learned all he could at the local school, he headed off to Cambridge University. Isaac flourished in school, where he studied Latin, Greek, and mathematics. Seeing how poorly Isaac performed as a farmhand, his mother eventually took their advice and sent her son back to school. Fortunately, Isaac’s uncle and his teacher both saw what a brilliant intellect he possessed. Isaac hated farm work–it kept him from exploring the many big questions about the world that flooded his head. His mother, however, didn’t see much value in education, and after sending him to school briefly, pulled him out and tried to get him to help with the farm work. He wanted to know how the world worked and found all kinds of questions to occupy his mind. Isaac’s mind was so bright and active that he needed little else to hold his interest in the quiet hamlet where he lived. Isaac never liked his stepfather and lived with his grandparents for much of his early childhood. Isaac’s mother remarried to a well-off minister when he was two years old. While little Isaac would live to be 84 years old, his father died three months before he was born. Born prematurely to a poor family, no one expected the sickly infant to survive, but he did! Unfortunately, his father wasn’t so lucky.

It would take a mind nearly as bright as the sun to solve that and many other mysteries of how nature works. Some people were curious enough to ask why, but until the 1600s, no one did much more than make thoughtful guesses. But in the past, people didn’t know how these beautiful arcs of color formed in the sky. Have you ever wondered what makes a rainbow?

Though identifying and expanding quadrilateral attributes may seem daunting, the gameplay to Shape Inspector is so engaging that it naturally increases a player’s knowledge of quadrilaterals and their properties in the form of recurring practice. Different quadrilaterals can share some characteristics, therefore analyzing the options requires good attention to detail. By studying the descriptions and classifying quadrilaterals, you are getting to know the shapes and their many attributes. Shape Inspector is a game that allows you to participate in a fun and mysterious investigation of the different types of shapes.

You can chain modifiers like a pipeline to customize any view. A modifier is a method that creates a new view from the existing view. The second tab lists modifiers for layout, effects, text, events and other purposes like presentation, environment and accessibility. Many of these - especially the control views - are familiar to you as UIKit elements, but some are unique to SwiftUI. The first tab lists primitive views for layout and control, plus Other Views and Paints. Then click the + button or press Command-Shift-L to open the Library: Open ContentView.swift, and make sure its canvas is open ( Option-Command-Return). There are lots of primitive views like Text and Color, which you can use as basic building blocks for your custom views. Declaring ViewsĪ SwiftUI view is a piece of your UI: You combine small views to build larger views. Yes, there’s a definite reactive feeling to SwiftUI! So if you’re already using one of the reactive programming frameworks, you’ll probably have an easier time picking up SwiftUI. It recomputes the view and all its children, then renders what has changed.Ī view’s state depends on its data, so you declare the possible states for your view, and how the view appears for each state - how the view reacts to data changes or how data affect the view. The SwiftUI framework takes care of creating views when they should appear and updating them whenever there’s a change to data they depend on. SwiftUI enables you to do declarative app development: You declare both how you want the views in your UI to look and also what data they depend on. At the end of this tutorial, you’ll see how easy it is to use a UIKit view in a SwiftUI app. SwiftUI doesn’t replace UIKit - like Swift and Objective-C, you can use both in the same app. ![]() Note: Check out SwiftUI: Getting Started to learn more about the mechanics of developing a single-view SwiftUI app in Xcode.

And it’s code, but a lot less than you’d write for UIKit, so it’s easier to understand, edit and debug. There aren’t any identifier strings to get wrong. You can preview a SwiftUI view side-by-side with its code - a change to one side will update the other side, so they’re always in sync. SwiftUI lets you ignore Interface Builder and storyboards without having to write detailed step-by-step instructions for laying out your UI. You’ll build a master-detail app using the Artwork.swift and MapView.swift files already included in this project. Open the PublicArt project in the PublicArt-Starter folder.
