I was going to send the first website to the list (having just<br>
discovered it and being overwhelmed by its usefulness), and then I<br>
thought while I'm at it, why don't I share a few more favourite links?<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Camera Simulator<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
If you're teaching camera theory and don't have a class set of DSLRs<br>
(who does?) this might be a useful reference:<br>
<a href="http://camerasim.com/camera-simulator.html" target="_blank">http://camerasim.com/camera-simulator.html</a><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
It allows students to experiment and see the effects of changing the<br>
ISO, shutter speed and aperture in different lighting conditions.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Design Bloom<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
This website contains everything from packaging to architectural design,<br>
so it might not always be in the scope of this subject... but it's<br>
always interesting.<br>
<br>
<br>

Logo Trends 2011<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
An interesting - and sometimes critical - report on the popular<br>
approaches to logo design in 2011. It always amuses me that something<br>
which is meant to be unique and stand out actually follows trends - the<br>
2011 'O' trend is particularly interesting.<br>
<br>

Grain Edit<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
This website is really focused on the illustrative and typographic<br>
realms and always contains something of interest.<br>

Smashing Magazine<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
More of a 'web design' than a 'graphic design' blog, it contains some<br>
interesting tidbits about the world of developing. Very useful in<br>
updating your industry knowledge. (For example, today's article about<br>
how designers and developers can work together:<br>
<a href="http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2011/05/13/two-cats-in-a-sack-designer-d%0Aeveloper-discord/" target="_blank">http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2011/05/13/two-cats-in-a-sack-designer-d<br>
eveloper-discord/</a>) They're also worth following on twitter.<br>

Ducroz<br>
<br>
Animation - Stop Motion<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I heard him speak at agIdeas and was really amazed by the beauty of his<br>
abstract frame-by-frame animations. <a href="http://www.ducroz.com/" target="_blank">http://www.ducroz.com/</a><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Speaking of which, if agIdeas gets enough orders, they will produce a<br>
highlight reel of the best speakers from 2011. You can preorder here:<br>
<a href="http://feedback.agideas.net/" target="_blank">http://feedback.agideas.net/</a> It would be $20 and a great resource - the<br>
speakers this year were fantastic.<br>
