Publications

What is a Publication?

ChaCha defined it as "a copy of a printed work offered for distribution or an issue: the ac of issuing printed materials".

That is the closest to what I was familiar with before we had our discussion in class. Nowadays, printed work hardly even exists. Online resources offer so much now that this definition needs to be redefined. Also, I think there are a lot of things that get overlooked as good publications.

I'm going to stretch a little on redefining this definition, and assume that a publication is anything anyone says, writes, sells, or communicates publicly. This can exist on any means of material... ie: a book, a comic, a song, a brochure, on the web, a bathroom stall, or a brick wall in the middle of downtown. Lets see where I get with this.

Jayne the Brain - Nice header, I like the hand-drawn patterns and textures. It looks like you change the colors to be a little softer on the eyes. Looks good. Most of the type seems to have a good contrast except for the smallest type. If you wanted it to be less noticeable you have achieved that look, but if not you might bump up the contrast on it. You go my Pinky and the Brain Vote.
