Postscript mining
Tough to stay productive, motivated AND organized.
It’s not such a big deal client work since I have a pretty stringent system for filling and archiving works in progress. It’s usually the sideline distraction of ideals that get relegated to one nondescript nested folder insisde another. Inevitably I end up with some files buried on a generic desktop folder like so;
DSK/stuff/keep/idea/DRAW/monday/desktopkeep…
So yesterday became one of those days where I decided to clean some of those up. Throughout this process I also like to see if I can bring an old idea to life. In this case I decided to do a little postscript mining. A process of playing the swf and exporting the vector data via “print to postscript”. From there I’m able to open that file in in illustrator to do any other finessing of the final image.
