May 1994 Washington Apple Pi Journal 29 Artist Information: Cheryl and Baker Johnson own The Bluemont Company, a graphic design and elec tronic publishing firm which works with companies who need professional design, mechanical art and output services along with technical advise. They commute daily to Bethesda from the Blue Ridge Mountains in Bluemont VA. Baker has been a graphic designer in the Washington area for over 20 years. Cheryl started her desktop publishing career in the Rosslyn office of Linotype-Hell, a New York based company whose technology led the move from dedicated typesetting systems to image processing and integration using the SANTIS Macintosh. She had the unique opportunity of watch ing the Macintosh evolve while she participated in CORPORATION research testing for Apple, Adobe, and Quark XPress! The Santis logo was designed in Illustrator with various percentages of the same color applied to achieve a three Tools: Mac Quadras, Linotronic 330, RIP 50, UMAX dimensional look.

For Mysteries of the Deep, a cover of an 8x10 National Geographic envelope, Cheryl was given a rough design and color transparencies which were scanned to disk. She first con structed the envelope template in Illustrator, then silhouetted all of the images and applied local color corrections in PhotoShop. She ghosted the background image using it's histogram under Levels by sliding the shadows into the midtone range. "I never rely on the screen for viewing color. I use the Info palette to measure the color values-it's like an on-line densitometer." 30 Washington Apple Pi Journal May 1994 On the Orthognatic Surgery brochure, Baker designed the logo in Illustrator and placed the art in Quark XPress. He used a simple set-up of a linear blend on a large initial cap letter with a 10% tint applied. The letter turns from a negative to a positive image at the bottom of the page where the blend disappears. The Center for All the photos for the National Parks direct mail insert Oral and Maxillo(acial were scanned from a previously printed piece.

BinScii (pronounced bin-skee) is a software program that converts binary files to text files and back. Binary What a BinSCll File Looks Like files contain pictures, computer programs, etc. Text files The easiest way to identify a BinSCII encoded file is usually contain human readable text (like this text) but for the person who sent it to tell you it's BinSCII. The a BinSCII file just looks like a jumble of letters 'and second easiest is to look for the name extensions "BSC" symbols. A BinScii text file is larger than the original "BSQ" (which implies that the encoded file is a Shrinkit binary file. Binscii is needed to transfer programs across archive), or "BNS" (obsolete, but still used in some parts the network when there is no binary mode (like the of the globe). The hard way is to look for one or more Usenet newsgroups and e-mail). blocks of text that resemble the following (see box page When turning a binary file into text, BinSCII will 52) (minus the one tab indent): output a series offiles.

Each segment has a header describing the contents). that tells BinScii which segment it is.
