As web designers, we’re constrained by nothing.
I mean, sure, there are screens. There are resolutions. But those aren’t real constraints. You can still make your design a zillion pixels long if you want to. Well, okay, there’s maybe the RGB pallet that’s somewhat limiting when it comes to the possible color range that you can use. (more…)

Back in 2011 we featured a nice set of hedcuts by artist Randy Glass. Since then, we didn’t see much of other artists doing this style of illustration but fortunately we ran into splendid hedcuts by American artist Noli Novak. (more…)
Since 1979, the drawings, or hedcuts, have become much more than the currency and certificate engravings they were modeled on. So many likenesses of prominent figures have been featured that to have one’s hedcut appear in the Journal is, for most, a seminal moment. (more…)

Line art can use lines of different colors, although line art is usually monochromatic. (more…)
Conventional halftones, often referred to as AM screens (amplitude modulated), distribute ink over a grid of dots that increase in size for darker tones. Throughout the tone scale, the frequency of dots remains the same, but the size or amplitude increases. The ink and water requirements vary greatly throughout the tonal range, causing a basic lithographic instability for which there are no on press controls. (more…)
