I guess I can’t really recall or pin­point when Nikki came into the whole process of these inter­views, but really, it doesn’t mat­ter. She’s been sup­port­ive of me and the out­put I do from the word go. It’s some­thing I know I appre­ci­ate much. You can find her on twit­ter at design­coy­ote (Twit­ter).

Orig­i­nally, this topic was meant to be a really quick high­light of a bunch all in one post­ing, but I real­ized that each one of these deserves the spot­light on their own. We are going to kick off this blog series with Tar­get Corporation.

Here it is in all its 5 long glory in reverse order.

• We received an @reply about it say­ing the cur­rent one sucked
• Lost all of the source files for all brand­ing elements
• There’s a new Adobe CS release soon and we want to incor­po­rate the new features
• Weird Al did a par­ody and busi­ness didn’t increase
• Our girl­friends think our logos are too small and scale badly

Hon­or­able mention:

• Because Paul Rand hasn’t rolled over in his grave enough

As per a Fedora Design mail­ing list post, Fedora now has the Syn­fig Stu­dio pro­gram avail­able in the repos for Fedora 11–12.

For those of you who don’t know what Syn­fig is:

Syn­fig is a pow­er­ful, industrial-strength vector-based open-source 2D ani­ma­tion soft­ware pack­age, designed from the ground-up for pro­duc­ing feature-film qual­ity ani­ma­tion with fewer peo­ple and resources. While there are many other pro­grams cur­rently on the mar­ket to aid with the effi­cient pro­duc­tion of 2D ani­ma­tion, we are cur­rently unaware of any other soft­ware that can do what our soft­ware can. –Syn­fig homepage

Syn­fig has sup­ported releases for all major oper­at­ing systems.

If you are anx­ious and inter­ested in get­ting started with Syn­fig, you can check out tuto­ri­als avail­able at: Syn­fig Wiki Tuto­ri­als or check out a gallery at Syn­fig Gallery
