All The Pretty Gradients Mapped Out in Three Big Books: The RGB Colorspace Atlas

The full atlas is a compilation of three books, each of which resembles a solid cube of gradients from afar, as they measure a perfect 8 x 8 x 8 inches. Each volume contains the entire visible spectrum and the spines slice the RBG cube in different directions: vertically, horizontally, and from front to back.

Voters Annoyed by Hard-to-Read Ballots

In New York City, you may want to bring a magnifying glass.

SF State Web-design Opportunity for Students

We are seeking creative, computer-savvy students to create a website for our student-led sustainability campaign here at SF State. It's called The Green Initiative Fund (TGIF) and it's been wildly successful at other campuses nationwide.

This is a great opportunity to add to your portfolio while contributing to the campus community and working with students from different departments who are all united by a passion for sustainability, social equity, and improving our school. You don't need to know anything about sustainability - we'll fill you in! There are no set hours and we'll do all we can to make the task as easy for you as possible. You have a valuable skill we need.

This is not a paid position, but time spent building the TGIF website could potentially be used towards volunteer/internship requirements or just as a chance to work on your web-design skills and take on a fun, fulfilling challenge. Additionally, if the TGIF campaign is successful, it may eventually be used to establish a paid student web-manager position - that could be you!

We welcome all and any SF State community members to join our team, and not just web-designers. There's something for everyone, even if you can only spare twenty minutes or just want to become informed about green happenings on campus.

Interested students should email TGIF.SFSU@gmail.com for more info.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Campaign Manager, The Green Initiative Fund at SFSU
