The Graphic of the Month
For several years I was writing monthly articles on projects I had worked on, projects that were unique in some way. Each article explored the challenges and solutions of the featured project and endeavoured to show how it was created. You can see them all here. More recent articles start with a link to a printable version of the document in Pdf format. So, if you tire of reading content on the monitor you can just print out the pdf. Articles written in 2001 are on this page, earlier articles for 1997, 1998, 1999 and 2000 can be found in The Archives.

June 24, 2002 note:
I stopped writing the Graphic of the Month Articles in the middle of 2001. Much as I loved to do it they were taking up a bit too much time. I have been tempted to delete them from the site but I have not done it yet as I find many of the techniques I employed then I still use today... just with comtemporary software.
