Contagion #4 – Bill Chambers
It’s time for another run down of a game of Contagion. This time I played with my good friend, Bill Chambers, hailing all the way from sunny California. We had loads of fun & ended up with a killer punk-rockin’ design so click to see it.
Contagion #3 – Brian Purkiss
This Sunday I played a very fun and insightful game of Contagion with Brian Purkiss, a young, Texas based, designer. Our game was different than the other two, but if you’re curious why & what our collaboration yielded, then click that Readme link.
Contagion #2 – Sergiu Mocian
It’s time to show off another game of Contagion, boys and girls. This week I played with a very good friend of mine, Sergiu Mocian. It was loads of fun and, as with the first game of Contagion, a valuable lesson in design, for both the players.
Contagion #1 – Matt Ward

Photo reconstruction: Venus de Milo
After the last few weeks when I focused more on the design update for the site , it’s good to get back in the tutorial game. And this time it’s a biggie: we’re going to give Venus de Milo her arms back. And we won’t be using any stock photos for it either.

Serene photo tutorial inspired by Justin Maller
Sometimes achieving a certain effect seems easy with a quick fix. But what separates the boys from the designers is the ability to see (in your mind) variations from the easy fix that change the mood and quality of the photo entirely.
