Last week I made a promise to myself. “Calvin, boy, someday you are going to draw up some flipbook corners for a student-run magazine. They will incorporate the page numbers, and you will get them done in time.” One week later I handed them in unfinished (so close) because I left to hunt for the elusive whitetail. In one week, 168 hours of life, I was unable to sketch up 24 tiny drawings, ink them, and scan them in. What the flip is up with that? If it took two hours to finish them, that would equate to 1.1% of my week. I didn’t finish inking them. How does this happen? I reckon it comes down to prioritizing.

The page number drawings work like all animation and video.

Animation is made of still images that are shown very quickly to create motion. Video works in the exact same way, and the standard frame fate for each of them is traditionally 24 frames per second.

That equates to about 130,000 hand-drawn frames for a feature length animation. Think of that next time you watch The Lion King.

PEPPER MAGAZINE ISSUE NO.04

PEPPER:SO:FAR

TIME:FOR:YOU

We’ve complete flopped our process for putting this issue together. The planning stage stretched out over a long portion of the semester and the execution lasted only 2 weeks.

There are still pieces of Pepper being worked out, different strategies being explored, and more questions being asked and answered. Yet, we at Pepper, have put just as much, if not more, of ourselves in these pages as in the previous issues. Issue No.04 is for you to enjoy, ponder on, and share with everyone you see fit. Flip through the pages and watch the Time fly by.

It is somewhat ironic that our 4th issue of Pepper deals with the theme of Time, being time is the 4th dimension. Besides that, we dwell on this subject because time is a concept that pertains to everyone and everything. Time builds basic structure to our everyday lives. Time gives us perceptions of speed and distance. Time defines beginnings and reveals endings. Time can move fast in moments we are enjoying ourselves, but can stretch out to endless lengths when we are not.

Experimenting with how we can bend the elements of time is what this issue is all about. Time develops the pieces within and subjects them to some rightly strange things. The time spent reading, staring, flipping, folding and getting lost in these pages will not be wasted… Actually, you probably won’t know where the time went.

Pepper Magazine : Issue No.04 : Time

Going faster than the speed of light is something you’d probably hear in a science fiction movie, inside a space ship amidst the stars, hundreds of years from now. But what if there were things on our earth that could possibly exceed this unrivaled speed?

And what if these things could pass through most matter as if it wasn’t there? Such a thing does exist.

Scientists call these neutrinos and as of September and November of 2011 experiments have shown them to go faster than light itself.

Words & Design by Sean Rueter

Neutrinos are tiny, subatomic particles that are produced from radioactive decay (like that of the sun), and nuclear reactions. These incredibly small atomic by-products have the ability to move at amazingly high speeds, which allows them to pass through matter almost unaffected This could change a lot of ideas about how we have theorized the universe to work, including Albert Einstein’s special theory of relativity. If the

Albert Einstein doing what he does best

results are true, this finding has opened the doors to the possibility of being able to send information back in time, making the line between the past and present a confusing topic and the principle of cause and effect to be unreliable. Textbooks might have to be re-written and there is a higher probability of concepts like “warpspeed” and wormholes existing in the universe. All of the theories for nuclear and atomic physics, as well as cosmology might have to be re-developed, since the theory of relativity is

the basis for these studies. This is the reason scientists have been panicking over this experiment recently. But how does someone discover something going faster than the speed of light?

Over a period of three years, the CERN particle accelerator in Geneva, Switzerland shot these neutrinos to a detector (OPERA) in Italy – about 500 miles away. The results showed that these neutrinos traveled 60 nanoseconds faster than light traveled. So why is light regarded as the maximum

speed of travel in the universe?

Because when you start reaching the speed of light weird things, like the stopping of time, happen. Other oddities such as becoming infinitely heavy and infinitely thin take place. Now, if you were to exceed the speed of light, even more strange things happen, such as time possibly going backwards.

Not to mention, you’d become heavier than the universe.

All of these factors are the reason why Einstein said you couldn’t exceed the speed of light. CERN is continuing it’s studies and experimenting on the subject, yet most are hoping it isn’t true simply because that means the world will need to have the next Einstein emerge, figure it all out, and explain why this is. After all, this is science’s purpose in the world; understanding how the universe works more and more each day, whether we like the results or not.

Christine Pogatchnik is an unusual character in the eyes of most. Sporting the attitude and aesthetic of a fine artist, she is a graphic designer relentlessly pushing her work into a sculptural realm. Some of her sculptural concepts delve into subjects of fantasy and desire usually placing the viewer into an awkward, uncomfortable position. Her design work, many times, reflects on historical design and its classic embodiment of simple but powerful aesthetics through layout and typography.

As a participant of the Stout Artist in Residency she is currently working on a mouthwatering project combining the sculptor and designer within. Playing with the theme of technology and its development in the printing and design world, she has been building up a collection of strange, oversized machines used for specialty printing and duplicating. These heavy pieces of equipment have been growing close to Christine over the past months considering the fact they cohabit with her in her bedroom. She talks to us about some elements of her residency project, along with sharing a few other bits of her character in the mix.

C: It definitely becomes difficult, especially when graphic design becomes so commercial.

That isn’t the type of graphic design I’m interested in, however it is the most popular form of graphic design.

J: Do you find it difficult to maintain that relationship, or straddle that line between the two?

Christine: I straddle the line by maintaining an interest and knowledge of what’s happening both in contemporary art and graphic design, and how they influence each other.

Julia: You are a fine artist as well as a graphic designer, so how do you straddle the line between both worlds?

C: Yes, however I can’t complain too much.

I’m still an undergrad in an institution that is very lenient in allowing students to explore their own ideas that manifest in ways that might not be practical in a work environment.

J: Do you feel like you ever have to compromise yourself as a graphic designer?

C: Modern graphic design and modern typography began early in the 20th century when modern art started booming.

Marinetti’s Futurist manifesto set a foundation for what contemporary graphic design is today and the various didactic movements it’s gone through. Marinetti himself was a poet, editor, artist, and also a “graphic designer” who took part in merging the two worlds of craft and art.

Due to cultural consequences of consumerism and technological advancements the relationship between the graphic designer and the production of their work has been removed, so far removed that sometimes we are just people in front of computer screens. Being able to be part of the production of your work gives you a tactile relationship that closer resembles the relationship artists have with their work.

J: You seem to have a fascination with nostalgic technology.

Why do you feel you have such a connection with this?

C: I think that they were very labor intensive, and they became obsolete before they were refined or re-examined.

As the printing industry has progressed there are less laborious and more time efficient means to produce printed work. What people don’t realize is that machines such as the Mimeograph or Omnicrom are capable of producing effects achieved from offset litho or foil stamping. It intrigues me that these machines are so hard to research and that they were only used for a brief moment and then swept under the rug. I enjoy the strenuous process of researching my machines and once quality information unveils itself to me I fall even more in love with them.

J: Why do you feel that these machines you are researching and using for your residency have failed in progressing with technological advancements?

J: That’s great to hear. So what can we expect from the residency show coming in spring?

C: Well I believe in some senses I’m already using graphic design the way I want to be, which is closely linked to the art world. I want to make work that documents work, or is an art form in itself. Whether it’s reproduced or a one-of-a-kind piece I want a relationship with my work; I want it to be my work.

J: So what is your utopian graphic design state?

C: It’s not that I have any issues with graphic design per say. It’s just that a lot of commercial design, again the most popular form of graphic design, isn’t up my alley. It wasn’t what I thought graphic design would be when I started, and it remains something I’m not interested in.

J: That’s beautiful. Now lets talk about graphic design, because you are a graphic design major. What are your issues with graphic design?

C: I would say that these machines excite me very much! I can definitely relate these printers to the Amphicar, which had propellers on it and a land and water transmission. The Amphicar won several awards and was largely the best land and water car of its time, and perhaps still today. So, I would say that I parallel my passion for these printers to that notion, definitely.

J: I feel like hearing you talk about this is similar to hearing the way my dad talks about his nostalgic cars. How do you feel about these machines, do they turn you on a little bit?

You may now flip the spreads back to a horizontal orientation to continue your reading. Hope you enjoyed the altered layout universe that you just experienced.

As stylish as those baggy jeans look, we know they’re slowing you down. Add a belt! You can get to appointments faster since you won’t have to spend nearly as much time holding your pants up, and you’ll look stylish. Win, win!

For the Guys

I know girls have a tendency to spend more time than they are willing to admit deciding what to wear. If you have ten gorgeous dresses in your closet and just can’t pick one, the solution is easy: burn nine of them! One is left and your decision is made!

For the Girls

Save time in the morning by taking a note out of Michael Scott’s book and putting some bacon on your George Foreman before you go to sleep. Just be careful not to step on the grill when hopping out of bed in the morning.

Make breakfast early

Post-it notes are a fantastic way to remember dates and times. You can put them on your desk, your wall, your computer screen, your face…. wherever you think they will be most effective.

Use Post-it notes

A great way to make sure you’re on time for appointments is to set an alarm on your phone. Look through your phone and find the most annoying ringtone available. This new annoyance can increase reaction time to your alarm by nearly 20% and you will so dread hearing it go off you will start to remember the events before your alarm even rings.
