A video about isometric perspective and how it is used in architectural design in a fast sketch.

The work done in this video is crazy! A great example of isometric perspective. Check it out! 

Here is a very informative article on perspective. It gives the history and an overview of perspective.

This is a pretty entertaining video of how people use different perspectives in their photographs in order to create illusions, it is super cool and related.

Background checks from jobseeker's perspective.

Remediation Article Helper This page gives a glimpse of what virtual reality is from an engineer's perspective. The easiest way to look at virtual reality is illusion or feeling as if you are in an environment other than the one you are actually in.

Derek Thomas' rhetoric of design post really goes in on the relationship of actual and imaginary line. Definitely opened my eyes to a differing perspective. Excellent post by him. 

Another book on design written by Frank Chimero who goes into more depth about shape. I thought this source would be helpful because it is another perspective on what we have learned about shape in design.

This website provided another perspective on the issue the reading discussed. Is there a solution for inequality?

I like this resource because it takes a lot of the ideas we have already looked at and approaches them from a composition & layout perspective. We have seen what each is and what they do; this provides some depth into what each can do/does for the composition of a text. (10/5/13)

This resource is sort of an aggregate of several resources. Each goes into and provides different perspectives of how typography can and is used. There is a lot of variance to each and I like all of the differentiation. (Week 11, 12/1)

An old picture that exemplifies both perspective and balance. I thought it was really cool that even old pictures follow the same rules that we learn today.

Ch 3 BOD- Contrast This site talks about contrast form a web designer's perspective. It breaks down contrast into elements of size, classification, color, cases,style and decoration, weight and space.

This is a really really good website that talks about the design element of balance. It not only gives good definitions about the different types of balance, it also provides very good pictures that clearly demonstrate what balance is and how it is used in art as well as graphic design.

This page gives a good definition of the principle of balance and gives good examples.

This site gave some great additional insights into how balance can be used in design. It was nice to get another perspective in addition to the book. It explained it effectively and in simpler terms. Definitely worth the read!

Really engaging! Broke down the process for me a little further.

This is an ancient example of the use of repetition, I think that sometimes it is important to reflect on our past and realize that many of the elements and principles of design that are learned now were at one point just part of human nature.
