Recently, we had an opportunity to design a magazine feature on Boeing for Engineer Magazine. Today, the Boeing 787 Dreamliner made it’s maiden flight. This is an important day in aviation history, and Boeing, as the 787 is made mostly of high-performance composites. These composites are lighter and stronger than the aluminum and titanium commercial planes are typically constructed with.
The above clip from KIRO in Seattle documents the maiden flight. The 787 made its first flight, originally scheduled for 5 hours, but cut short by a west-coast weather system. The initial Dreamliner flight lasted approximately 3 hours. Boeing has a website dedicated to the first flight of the Dreamliner 787 with more information and videos.
Humble Pied originally started as a crowd-sourced AIGA student presentation, with friends and peers alike offering their words of wisdom within the creative industry. This site was created to house all of the great bits of advice, and to stimulate dialogues along the way.
Mig Reyes created Humble Pied as a way for students to have access to critical advice from top designers and creatives. And it’s not just one way. See some advice you like? Give it some love, add a comment or share via your Twitter profile.
All chat sessions are held with iChat video and recorded with ScreenFlow. Reyes then cleans up each interview was and edits with Adobe Photoshop and Adobe After Effects.
