Roy Lichtenstein Foundation

The Lichtenstein Foundation, in accordance with the wishes of the artist and his family, has created a database of images available on the web. Users can view the artists works chronologically, by genre, or by place where the exhibition was held. There is a collection of public sculptures, public murals and a section of current and upcoming exhibitions. The foundation also has aquired the Shunk photographic collection which includes over 100,000 images of art and artists and events. Also ArtStor, through a collaboration with the Roy Lichtenstein Foundation and Estate, has made available an additional 395 images of Lichtenstein’s works in the Digital Library. This third release to the collection includes high-quality images of Lichtenstein’s paintings, drawings, prints, and sculpture from the 1970s along with the associated cataloging records, bringing the total number of images in the Roy Lichtenstein collection to 1,172 images.

Designing a Typographic Concept Poster

Author: Constantin Potorac I am a freelance designer living in Romania. I discovered the beauty of design a few years ago. Since then I have dedicated my time to becoming a great designer (work in progress)!

Our video editor Gavin Steele has created this video tutorial to compliment this text + image tutorial: In this tutorial I will take you through a few steps that will show you how I created a poster design. This illustration was created for a contest started by UPrinting Design over at You The Designer. I was one of the lucky winners. Also, because of the requests to write a tutorial on this design, I made some changes to it, and I decided to show you the design process behind this piece.

Hitting Pause on Class Videos

In the latest clash of copyright law and instructional technology, the University of California at Los Angeles has stopping allowing faculty members to post copyrighted videos on their course Web sites after coming under fire from an educational media trade group.

The policy, enacted earlier this month, has been planned since last fall, when the Association for Information and Media Equipment — a group that protects the copyrights of education media companies — charged the university with violating copyright laws by posting the videos to the password-protected course Web pages without the proper permissions.

So far, UCLA is the only institution the organization has accused of such infractions. However, Allen Dohra, its president, told Inside Higher Ed that it is prepared to take on other colleges if it becomes clear that similar practices are taking place elsewhere. “We have leads in terms of other universities, and we do plan to investigate further,” said Dohra.

While the university maintains it has violated no laws, it has agreed to temporarily halt the practice while it tries to reach a settlement with the association. “We don’t want to litigate an issue that could potentially be resolved outside of the legal system,” said a university spokesman.....read more
