In all honesty, they have my sympathy. If I have to put up with EAGLE, no idea what the fab has to deal with

The Circuit Classics tweeting has slowed a bit, but the work has not. Saturday: cribbing the 1975 NASA brand book for packaging design

Get you a branding book that can do both: https://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/atoms/files/nasa_graphics_manual_nhb_1430-2_jan_1976.pdf … (1976 was a stylish year!)pic.twitter.com/v1ZRf4ANGL

@starsandrobots Ah, the much-loathed NASA "worm"... -
@garrett_wollman why loathed? -
@starsandrobots I don't know, I just remember reading that all the NASA staff hated it from day 1. Why the Meatball came back.

@starsandrobots from a PCB fab house? Odd. Never had comments on atyp silkscreen or copper. Sure they are not confused by something else? -
@roteno ever send in a 30MB gerber package? -
@starsandrobots nothing that big. Why so big? Artwork on silk & copper? If it's a fab house, it's often worth understanding the concern. -
@roteno thanks, I've informed them. The boards I am working on are highly graphical — bringing Forrest Mims hand-drawn circuits out as PCBs -
@roteno the comment is funny because "looking hand drawn" is indeed, the entire goal of my work. -
@roteno also, feel free to read more or sign up to hear when I (get the boards made and) launch: https://crowdsupply.com/star-simpson/circuit-classics … :) -
@starsandrobots good luck!

@starsandrobots That's right. With the 0.7-mm blue mechanical pencil still on my desk. -
nice set! :-)

@starsandrobots I really hope this was just a very VERY dry joke :) -
@macegr I wrote back explaining what I'm doing. We'll see what happens next.. ;-)

@starsandrobots Clearly, you need to produce a Forrest Mims font for future silkscreens. -
@starsandrobots ...and now I'm thinking about using@mc_frontalot's Edward Gorey font on my next board... -
@doctoranalog nice!! (Personally relevant,@mc_frontalot fan & I went show when I was a freshman in Cambridge my first few months at MIT!)
