jay || ideal type; tarot reading

disclaimer: in my Ideal Type readings, I look into what the person in question is currently (consciously and unconsciously) attracted to! it's not necessarily their perfect match or the one they will end up with.

✦ Impression (What is seen externally // Might not accuratelly represent the person):

cards: nine of cups, eight of pentacles (five of swords), chariot

Jay's ideal type gives off a very disciplined impression, first and foremost - that's what people would pick up on as soon as they laid eyes on them. They seem to be very career/study focused, and may take productivity and organization very seriously. We're talking detailed schedules; the best stationery one could find; never ending to-do lists; waking up at 5AM every day, followed by a very strict daily routine; etc. However, due to the seriousness with which they dedicate themselves to their professional/academic goals, there's also a feeling that this person can sometimes come off as a know-it-all. They might try to lecture others on how to do things, correct them in statements they think are inaccurate, and, perhaps, even nag them for wasting their time with nonsense activities that will not lead them anywhere in life (according to their standards). Even so, his ideal type is still an individual that people know they can always count on to get a job well executed, and to lead a team to victory. Everyone knows that if this person has a goal in mind, they won't give up until they have accomplished it!

✦ Personality:

cards: chariot, king of cups, star (two of pentacles)

Here we see the Chariot again, so, for sure, this is a person who's very driven and disciplined. They would not sit around and wait for people to get things done for them, but would instead do it themselves right away. Also due to that, Jay's ideal type is a great motivator for others around them. They are wise, emotionally intelligent and compassionate, so even if their observations of their loved ones' actions and decisions come off sounding a little harsh, they are still well intended and aimed to push them towards a better direction. The negative side of this would be when they become too forceful and fail to give people the freedom to do things at their own pace or decide things for themselves without their (his ideal type's) input. On the other hand, this is someone who can be very influential and sociable, and has no problem being the center of attention. They can have friends all of the place and often bring them all together and have them experience each other's cultures, inspired each other with their different personalities and lifestyles, etc. From this perspective, we can suppose that Jay's ideal type is overall a very cultured and extroverted person.

✦ What his ideal type should provide in a relationship:

cards: wheel of fortune (five of wands), knight of swords, two of cups

His ideal type should definitely bring some sort of challenge to his life. In that sense, he would like for them to provide him with experiences that he's not used to, so the relationship feels constantly new and exciting. The two of them may always be moving towards something bigger and more exciting every day, and constantly keep the wheels turning. Additionally, it feels like he would enjoy if his partner was a little rebellious, spontaneous and daring. In that sense, I think he would find a lot of inspiration in watching them move forward with their beliefs and goals unapolagetically; and even start taking the same approach with his own goals and ideas (specially if that was something that he had trouble with before). When it comes to their relationship itself, Jay would definitely love to be pursued by his ideal type and have them be the initiator in most things. Really, it just feels like he wants to be swept off his feet and taken on a wild ride! In spite of all of the action, though, he definitely still seeks a romantic and honest partner to whom he can open his heart to. So, without a doubt, there should be a considerable amount of affection and intimacy between them, as well as honesty, balance and respect. This could not be a relationship built solely on excitement and adventure, because, for Jay, tenderness and commitment also have to be present.

Forms of Graphic Design You must learn

You’ll often hear in school that making something attractive is the primary goal of graphic design.

However, graphic design is more than just producing eye-catching work. In an essence, graphic designers are creative problem-solvers. The word “graphic design” is frequently used as a catch-all, although the many types of design that go under it call for slightly different skill sets, knowledge bases, and tools.

Forms of graphic design:

1. Visual identity graphic design:

A brand is a connection between a business or organisation and its intended market. A brand identity expresses an organization’s personality, tone, and essence, as well as memories, emotions, and experiences. Visual identity graphic design refers to the visual components of brand identification that serve as the public face of a company and convey those intangible characteristics through images, shapes, and colour.

Designing assets like Free Vector icons, typography, colour palette, and image libraries that capture a company’s character involves collaboration with brand stakeholders. Designers frequently create a collection of visual brand standards (style guides), which outline best practices and offer examples of visual branding used across many media, in addition to the conventional business cards and corporate stationery. These guidelines help to keep a consistent brand image throughout all planned apps.

2. User interface graphic design:

The way users engage with a device or programme is called the user interface (UI). The process of developing user-friendly, expressive interfaces is known as interface design (UI design).

A user interface (UI) is made up of the keyboard, mouse, and screen, but in terms of graphic design, the UI focuses on the user’s visual experience and the creation of on-screen visual elements like buttons, icons, and micro-interactions. A UI designer must blend aesthetic appeal with technological functionality.

3. Advertising & marketing graphic design:

Organizations rely on effective marketing initiatives to influence the buying behaviour of their target market. Great marketing engages individuals based on their wants, needs, awareness, and satisfaction with a product, service, or brand. Because visual material is usually more appealing to consumers, graphic design helps companies market and communicate more effectively.

Company owners, directors, administrators, and marketing specialists work together with marketing designers to create marketing materials. They may operate independently or as part of an internal or creative team. Designers might specialise in a certain form of media (for example, car wraps or magazine advertisements) or design a diverse range of material for print, web, and beyond. Historically oriented on print, this type of design has grown to embrace more digital materials, especially for use in digital advertising and online advertising.

4. Motion graphic design:

Motion graphics are images that are constantly moving. This includes effects in television, film, and other media such as the internet, including animation, music, typography, graphics, and video. The popularity of video has lately increased as technology has evolved and it has become more common.

Designers now have a relatively new speciality called “motion graphics designer.” Technology advancements have lowered the time and cost of creation for the art form, which was formerly only used in TV and cinema. One of the newest design styles today, motion graphics are present on all digital platforms, opening up various new markets and career options.

5. Publication graphic design:

Publications are long-form compositions that connect with an audience by being made available to the public. Traditionally, they were a print medium. Consider books, newspapers, periodicals, and catalogues to be examples of publication design. However, there has been a huge increase in digital publications recently.

Publication graphic designers collaborate with editors and publishers to develop layouts with carefully picked typography and associated artwork, which may include photography, graphics, and drawings. These designers might operate as freelancers, as members of creative agencies, or as employees of a publishing business.

6. Environmental graphic design:

Environmental graphic design connects individuals to places visually in order to improve their entire experience by making locations more memorable, entertaining, educational, or easy to navigate. There are many different disciplines included in environmental design.

In order to assist people to locate where they are and exactly where they need to go so that they can get there without getting lost, wayfinding is a specialised sort of environmental graphic design that comprises carefully placed signs, landmarks, and visual clues.

7. Packaging graphic design:

Most items require some type of packaging to safeguard and prepare them for storage, delivery, and sale. However, packaging design may also speak directly to customers, making it a very powerful marketing tool. Every box, bottle, bag, container, can, or canister is an opportunity to convey the narrative of a brand.

Designers of packaging produce ideas, mockups, and print-ready files for items. This requires extensive knowledge of print techniques as well as a thorough understanding of commercial design and production. Because package design encompasses so many disciplines, it is not commonplace for designers to be tasked with developing additional assets for products such as photography, drawings, and visual identity.

SEVERAL outstanding merchant tie-ups and numerous mentions on radio programs were among the high spots in the exploitation campaign put over by Manager Fred McFadden of the Palace Theater here for the premiere of "Les Miserables." The A. Harris & Co. store devoted two of its main windows to attractive displays consisting of life-size blow-ups of both March and Laughton in an effective tie-up on books. The Sanger Bros, window carried an assortment of scene stills and 11 x 14's. One-sheets with appropriate cards were on display in the windows of Neiman-Marcus, Titche-Goettinger and the Methodist Publishing House windows. Special bookmarks were distributed at all public and 18 local rental libraries. More than 300 special process cards were circulated throughout the city. A tie-up with Kaywoodie Pipes got all local cigar and stationery stores to display attractive window streamers containing a picture of March and strong selling copy on the attraction. Bulletin boards were posted in all local hotels and stuffers were placed in guest boxes. A direct mail campaign was circulated to  all prominent persons. A special screening for the clergy and local critics accounted for early reviews and additional feature stories. The picture was given four daily plugs over Station WRR. Station WFAA, owned  by the Dallas "News," put on a 15-minute program giving "Les Miserables" the breaks. Station KRLD, owned by the Dallas "Times-Herald," devoted ten announcements to the feature calling it the "best picture in ten years."

Source: The Film Daily, 24 June 1935 And in San Antonio they did a lot of the same things plus this: 

An attractive artist worked in the window of the Grand-Silver store on a pastel drawing of Fredric March and in the evening this drawing was illuminated and placed in the center of the window. The background for this drawing was a frame containing 60 scene stills from the production.  The front of the theater was decorated with blow-up heads of March and Laughton with all backgrounds a vivid red with large cut-out letters in yellow forming the title of the picture and star names.

Synthesized PKM criticism

If I'm going to be depressed and leapfrog off of PKM, I may as well jump the gun and focus my thoughts on this.

In essence, the hype around around personal knowledge management, from Second Brains to Zettelkastens, and tools from Athens to Roam to Logseq to Obsidian to Bear to goodness knows what else, is similar to the hype around tools that famous people have used. Think space bullet pens and Moleskine journals. And I have to ask: is this for yourself, or is this to reflect your heroes?

People buy more of the tools and the stationery and the busywork because the barrier to entry is far lower. Buying a Montblanc pen won't make you a better writer. Buying a gold trophy won't make you a better sports player. So why should we think that fancy note-taking apps and cutting-edge tools for thought will make us better thinkers? Maybe the phrasing "tools for thought" have confused (and hopefully not deluded) us.

Anything productivity attracts obsessed individuals and hustlers. It's only natural, given that productivity is so intertwined with work, but always frustrating. The irony of PKM as a means to cut the fluff and solve information overload is that there is so much fluff on PKM itself.

Tyhe launched a killer breakdown of the Zettelkasten that you can find here. Just as PKM in general has been muddled by marketing, one specific instance of knowledge management has been muddled also. Few know what a Zettelkasten is, or what it's supposed to do, or it's fundamental function. How will these pseudo-Zettelkastens evolve in the next 4, 5 years? Will they buckle from "note inflation"? Will people struggle to find their accurate thoughts?

The Zettelkasten is not an archive, but it's not really a stereotypical note-taking system either. Luhmann used the Zettelkasten to rediscover and find surprising, serenditpitous notes. He didn't expect to find the "right note" all the time, just like we don't expect to remember the utmost best memories or stories when asked. Current PKM culture is all about asserting control over information overload, but also the individual's own repository of knowledge. But the Zettelkasten took control away from Luhmann, didn't it? As he navigated, it brushed away his strong navigational frames aside and proposed it's own. Considering the Zettelkasten is built on the ashes of your past self, I'm not surprised this would happen.

And certainly, note-taking is found in a wide range of fields. Some polymaths of yore took prolific notes, themselves, like Leonardo da Vinci. But the drive to take prolific notes is not necessarily the same drive to think deeply, critically, and transformatively. As I've waned away from note-taking and more to cognition, I constantly run into the hard truth that everything about this is a means to an end--intrinsic or extrinsic. It's bizarrely easy to confuse the means with the ends.

You could chalk it up to the raw individuality of it. The reason why we take notes varies wildly from person to person. But that doesn't mean that we can't ask this question, think about our goals critically, and have the tools necessary to be able to conceptualize this in the first place. The deep sadness of current PKM culture is that it's not at all designed to tackle, let alone conceptualize, the driving "why" behind note-taking.

To continue on with Luhmann's Zettelkasten: Arguably the most damning point about the system is that it was an extension of his already-existing mental processes. We don't know if Luhmann was a genius before his Zettelkasten, or even without it. But we do know that somehow he was able to pump out irreducibly complex ideas, theories, and models. Even if Luhmann's thinking was extended across time, it was his thinking, and his thinking alone. His entire slipbox is a systems theory project in of itself.

Further, like all individual theories, they serve the individual in some form. Luhmann did not care about the global particulars. The Zettelkasten, while large and expansive, does not seek to control it's contributor, or any reader. Instead, it suggests, hints, and illustrates--just like we would do ourselves, actually. For current Zettelkasten users, I give you this: You are putting your notes into the box to lose control of it.

The pragmatic PKM idea that there is no "done state" for the notes, and my null theory that all vantage points on knowledge are arbitrary, are not mutually exclusive. Rather it is an interconnected motion, a representation of the deeper truth that knowledge truly is a substance waiting to be exported and transformed in abstraction. There is no done state for the notes because our knowledge grows bit by bit everyday in ways we cannot even see. And all vantage points on knowledge are arbitrary because the point is the knowledge itself.

I look at the clunky phrase of "personal knowledge management" and I ask the community, why are we not personal? Why do we feel the need to teach others how to manage their knowledge? The most we can provide are suggestions, hints, and clues. There are no rules to knowledge management, and if there are, we are obligated to break them. Why are there so called experts in our midst? What are they really trying to do?

I will not delude myself into conspiracy because there is no grand conspiracy, no circle of sociopaths trying to dull people's minds down. Instead there are hustlers and marketers and product managers. All of these people do mean well, to some extent. But their priorities are far different than we really think.

I wish I could say I simply do not care about them, about the productivity porn culture, but that would be wishful thinking. I do. I care so much that even after I drove my mind into knowledge base dementia I am still writing, still thinking about this next wave of computer-assisted thinking. Alas.
