LED Grid: Blinking lights!

Posted on August 12, 2015April 12, 2019 by Erica

This week and last, we’ve been working hard to set a budget and optimize the design for the physical object side of the LED grid project. Branden has been developing a list of parts and is starting to lay out the circuit board design (maybe I’ll convince him to do a guest post for that part?). In the…

LED Grid: working toward a design

Posted on August 5, 2015April 12, 2019 by Erica

I wrote about the origins of my LED project and my first tottering steps toward programming in a previous post. Here, I’d like to talk a bit more about the design part of this project.

LED Grid: To learn a programming language

Posted on August 5, 2015April 12, 2019 by Erica

I stumbled into the design world kind of by accident back in March or April. A flyer mysteriously showed up in my mailbox advertising a seminar on presenting data by Edward Tufte, to be held in April in Boston. It turned out that I had a schedule conflict and couldn’t make the seminar, but it…

An experiment in hand lettering

Posted on August 5, 2015April 12, 2019 by Erica

As I have started to pay more attention to design, new opportunities have started to crop up everywhere. I was catching up on recent episodes of Good Life Project Radio by Jonathan Fields when I came across an interview with Sean McCabe, an internet entrepreneur and hand letterer. I have always loved words. For a…

Behind on the first day

Posted on August 5, 2015 by Erica

It’s the first day of a new blog, and I’m already behind! I set this blog up to capture ideas, thoughts, and projects related to my emerging interest in design, and especially data visualization. This has become a new focus for me over the past few months, and I am curious to see where it…
