Orphan Works Bill

What has everyone heard on this one? I was forwarded some information about this proposed bill from a friend working as an illustrator in California. The proposed bill looks as though it applies to all visual arts. The short of it seems to say that if someone can’t find a credit for your work either on print or on the internet, that they can take it and use it as they like. I’m curious what everyone else’s take is on this. Here are a couple links to more comprehensive information on it:

IxDA Utah Chapter

The Interaction Designers in Utah (IxDA) chapter was just recently started. For information and to join, visit their website:

http://ixdautah.collectivex.com/main/summary

“The IxDA is all about bringing interaction designers together. The life a designer is a busy one and we may not all be able to meet face to face as often as we’d like. This group site will help local IxDA members communicate, share ideas, inspire each other and hopefully help facilitate friendships around our passion for great design.”

does design matter

I really enjoyed Jayson Lynes post this evening about design mattering. I can’t think of much to say without quoting from it, so just give it a read.

February gathering: Renee Lee on Photography

Don’t forget that our February gathering is tomorrow night, Wednesday, 27 February. I am excited to announce that Renee Lee will be presenting on photography. Renee runs the Salt Lake Photo Club and will come to talk her work and tips and tricks.

As usual, we meet at seven o’clock at Retrospect Studios downtown (230 South 500 West #245, second floor, around corner). The building is on the West side of the street and says ARTSPACE across the front. Park in the lot just South of the Artspace lot to avoid getting towed (in the un-numbered spaces).

Please spread the word. We are excited to see you there!

We will meet at their location, 230 South 500 West #245, at seven o’clock in the evening, on Wednesday the twenty-third.
