Happy New Year!

You can easily edit HTML files using a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editor like FrontPage, Claris Home Page, or Adobe PageMill instead of writing your markup tags in a plain text file.

But if you want to be a skillful Web developer, we strongly recommend that you use a plain text editor to learn your primer HTML.
 
This paper is about culture, in particular that aspect that deals with visual language, both pictorial and written. I write not as a traditional art historian, but as someone who was exposed early on to the Metropolitan and the Modern Museums in New York, and who went the way of the artist at first, then designer and art director, brand strategist and currently design professor.
 
A refugee from Florida and Ohio, I was in a beach house in Oregon overlooking a foggy coastline and the Pacific Ocean. I placed a call to the academic department director at the Art Institute of Portland who was to hire me to develop a course in the history of graphic design, in order to finalize the arrangements and get started on the project. She proceeded to relate to me what had happened to the World Trade Centers and the Pentagon. The rest of the weekend was spent in a fog – literally, a heavy one, in front of my eyes – punctuated with assaulting and arresting visual images of the attacks on the monoliths.
 
I hope you all had a Happy New Year, even though bunnies can't play with fireworks!
