On Thursday night, we've got Refresh DC:

Color is such a fundamental part of the visual design process that articulating the development of a color palette can be overlooked. As a visual designer, David will talk about being mindful of the use of color. As someone who is colorblind, he will discuss how his condition has lead him to approach color theory in a unique way, resulting in applying the new HSLa color value. The talk will be part color theory, part accessibility, part technical demonstration.

David will be introducing himself as the new helmsman of the Refresh DC ship. He works as a web designer for nclud, where he explores the frontiers of front-end web development.

Hope to see some of you out there!

Browncoats: Redemption - Learn All About It

Browncoats: RedemptionAre you a Browncoat? Are you interested in who a movie comes together? Can you imagine a project built on a passion to really make a difference? If any of those questions bring a positive answer, then you should make it a point to show up at Wednesday's DC Media Makers meeting.

Michael Dougherty (writer & director) and Steve Fisher (co-producer) have created Browncoats: Redemption, a feature-length fan film based in Joss Whedon's Firefly universe, and all profits will benefit charities. They'll be coming back for their second visit to DCMM. (Their first was what brought me to the group and I can't thank them enough for that.)

The magic will be happening at the NPR offices (635 Massachusetts Ave NW, Washington, DC) at 6:30 p.m. Show up early and get a good seat, it looks like it'll be a crowded meeting.
