awww, Every Frame A Painting was one of the best resources to learn about visual design in film, and I'm sorry it's over, but I respect their reasoning and all the work they've done over the years.
"It’s very tempting to use Google because it’s so quick and it’s right there, but that’s exactly why you shouldn’t go straight to it. By taking your research to the library, you’re immediately breaking out of the online cycle of repetition, and your work will improve immediately."
So true
@webmind I love this as a concept, but I think this only works for fields that advance slowly, and have major advances well represented in print. this tends to be more traditional fields, not things like sociology, art, or tech.
that being said, there's definitely room to improve the coverage those kinds of constantly evolving things have in more traditional media.
@nergdron hmm, perhaps. But I've found google quite limiting quite often in it's results.
I miss browsing the web for instance. It seems more effort, but the chances of getting different data seem better
@webmind yeah, I was thinking more of just search engines in general than just google. I've switched to using DuckDuckGo recently and find it to be a lot more diverse than Google in its results. but I get what you're saying.
@RussSharek @nergdron duckduckgo uses google as one of its inputs, I think, but it mainly doesn't try to personalise results, which is a benefit here.
@nergdron @webmind
We're the duckduckgo results really that different? Genuinely curious. Examples, please?
