The Setup: What do people use to get stuff done? Jessica Hische: Letterer, graphic designer. What hardware are you using? At my studio: A 2.93 GHz quad-core 27” iMac with 8 gigs of RAM + an additional 24” Apple Display (the main screen is my “work screen” and the extra display is my “distraction screen” for Twitter, email, iChat, movies, etc). I use a Magic Mouse for most of my work, an Apple trackpad for casual internetting, and a wireless keyboard. I make most of my phone calls using my Skype number and use a Blue Ball microphone and a variety of headphones to make that happen (and not sound crappy and echoey). At home: A 15” MacBook Pro with 8 gigs of RAM. I work from home quite a bit as I don’t like to stay at the studio very late at night and my schedule often requires I work long hours. On the go: An 11” MacBook Air with 4 gigs of RAM, which is perfect for client emergencies when I’m traveling, for working on small vector projects and for working on typefaces, which don’t require a massive screen. I also could not live without my iPhone, which I hardly use for phone calls since AT&T’s 3G service in NY is terrible, but use constantly to check email especially when traveling. I have an iPad as well which I’ve found very useful for reading book manuscripts (which I must do when designing book covers) but don’t use it as much as I thought I would for other things. And what software? Adobe Creative Suite CS5 (primarily Illustrator), Lightroom for importing and “developing” RAW pix from my GF1, Fontlab Studio 5, DropBox for backing up all of my files (I could not live without DropBox considering the amount of machines I’m constantly switching between). Google Calendar synced to iCal for scheduling projects and social events, TeuxDeux (online to-do list app) for when things get hairy. I mostly use TextEdit as a word processor (it’s just simple and easy (and “free”)). I use Wordpress for my blog, Tumblr for my Daily Drop Cap site (though I will be switching to another format once the project is finished for better archiving).

STROKE IDENTIFICATION: During a party, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine and just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. (they offered to call ambulance) They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food - while she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening. Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00pm , Ingrid passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the party . Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. Some don't die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead. It only takes a minute to read this... STROKE IDENTIFICATION: A neurologist says that if he can get to a stroke victim within 3 hours he can totally reverse the effects of a stroke...totally. He said the trick was getting a stroke recognized, diagnosed, and then getting the patient medically cared for within 3 hours, which is tough. RECOGNIZING A STROKE Remember the '3' steps, STR . Read and Learn! Sometimes symptoms of a stroke are difficult to identify. Unfortunately, the lack of awareness spells disaster. The stroke victim may suffer severe brain damage when people nearby fail to recognize the symptoms of a stroke. Now doctors say a bystander can recognize a stroke by asking three simple questions : S * Ask the individual to SMILE .. T * = TALK. Ask the person to SPEAK A SIMPLE SENTENCE (Coherently) (eg 'It is sunny out today'). R * Ask him or her to RAISE BOTH ARMS . If he or she has trouble with ANY ONE of these tasks, call the ambulance and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher. NOTE : Another 'sign' of a stroke is 1. Ask the person to 'stick' out their tongue. 2. If the tongue is 'crooked', if it goes to one side or the other that is also an indication of a stroke. A prominent cardiologist says if everyone who gets this status shares it; you can bet that at least one life will be saved. And it could be your own.

Zach Higgins The scribble tool is my best friend at work. It's how we make embroideries on our shirts. I kind of am in love with Illustrator.
Henry Sene Yee I just started teaching myself Illustrator from scratch and I think it is my favorite application now. It's going to change how I express myself. Look out Everyone!
Zach Higgins Oh it's great. Anything I do that's related to type, I do in Illustrator. I use a tablet and the pencil tool to really give it a hand-done look too. Good luck!
