These extended privileges are limited to the current PDF. When you create a different PDF form, you must perform this task again if you want to enable Reader users to save their own filled-in copies of that PDF.

Je ne crois pas que c’est parce que le « nouveau » design n’a pas été implémenté. J’ai plutôt l’impression qu’on a retouché le superbe design pour en faire quelque chose de très ordinaire, voir médiocre.

Voici le avant (je présume) et le après :

Quelle tristesse ! Un gros chou pour Escape Studios.

Merci à tous ceux qui sont passés. Ce fut un plaisir de vous voir.

Gyz La Rivière présente, par cette série de 28 sérigraphies en jaune et noir, ses réflexions sur ce qu’il décrit comme le «parochialisme», soit la tendance à classifier immédiatement toute nouvelle chose en lui accolant une étiquette.

L’hiver passé j’ai travaillé en tant qu’infographiste sur ce projet en collaboration avec Gyz. Et lors de ma visite à Rotterdam en avril dernier, j’ai eu la chance de voir l’exposition à la défunte boutique Moose. C’est à mon tour maintenant de la présenter, à Montréal, en première nord-américaine (elle sera également présentée à Chicago éventuellement).

Il y aura un petit vernissage le 28 octobre à 17 h, à Station C.

Note : Il est possible d’acheter les sérigraphies au coût de 30 € chacune. Contactez Gyz directement via gyzlariviere.com.

We worked on a book on the theme of “link” and I used an absurd poem of my friend and former housemate from Rotterdam, Rogier Stomp aka kO nOrderisk, to represent the subject.

kO’s poetry is a mixture of absurd humor and society critic. There is a genuine influence of Russian Absurdism in his work. His poem “The Greatest of the Biggest Song” which I used in Mr. Marten’s class has now turned into a real book published by Uitgeverij Nadorst which I had the honor to design. The book is called “The Greatest of the Biggest” and is, in itself, a critic on the trend of always wanting bigger, better, more… instead of savouring what is.

I’m waiting to receive my copy in the mail but, in the meantime, here’s the cover page I designed for kO’s first poetry book.

“Enough is enough. Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 was released in late 2001. For its time, it was a decent browser, but in 2009, it is still in use by a significant portion of the web population, and its time is now up.”

Like many of my friends, I decided to STOP to support IE6. I no longer offer it in my offers of service and if my clients want me to support it, they will have to pay extra, that’s it.

Please help us, web designers, programmers and developers, to eradicate this abomination which is called Internet Explorer 6. Visit IE6 No More.
