You are dedicated to your craft. You have spent countless hours honing your skills. You have a boundless curiosity for the underlying theories and structure of communicating ideas. You are the artist who finds the connections between your medium and other communications media. You are the artist who relishes in a setback; after all, it's a new opportunity to learn and grow. Inspiration is more than a haphazard mode of thought requiring constant nurturing: it is your natural state of mind.

Lean Into Art is where you go when you're ready to push yourself as an artist in new ways. As a place to learn communication arts online it combines an art-journaling approach, the best of live and time-shifted classes, and a recognition system that encourages students to finish projects, give feedback, even participate in teaching.

It's a big art challenge - that's why we put the enticing warning in the name. You have to lean into it.

LIA Cast 55 - Starting can be Logical

DateWednesday, September 26, 2012 at 10:53AM

Being a creative person often involves having too many options to choose from when evaluating which project to start next. How do you know which project has legs, or is the one that will generate the energy required to see it through to shipping it? You can't know if it's the right project for you until you dive in and try, right?

This week we walk around the notion of the Logic Model as a means to evaluate our developing creative endeavors. By asking ourselves what our objectives, audience needs, required activities, and projected outcomes are, we might be able to make some more informed decisions about which project to take on next.

LIACast 54 - Conventioning from a UI/UX Perspective

DateFriday, September 21, 2012 at 9:51PM

How does thinking about tabling at conventions in UI/UX terms change the way we think about our table setup/interactions?

In this episode of the Lean Into Art Cast, we kick things off with a wrapup of Jerzy's experience at SPX and the Ignatz Awards. We then explore the experience of tabling from user centric perspective and how that approach can inform laying out your table, presenting your books, and ultimately getting them into your reader's hands.
