    D#2, HW#2 I thought that this was the best website that demonstrated Chapter 2 in my opinion. The website talks about the same kind of elements as in the chapter including size, color, weight, and style. I also enjoyed it because the writer explained, like the book, the reason for each of these techniques and why they help the reader get the information that is being shown to them.

    Rhetoric Exigence is my favorite of the four links for chapter 2 because it explains the rhetoric communication process as cause and effect. It states if a group is preparing for a project and one group member does not show, it will not be forgotten, a reaction will happen. The group member will be contacted and the situation will have to be resolved.

TWC301 Chapter 2 emphasis

  • designer needs to know how to control the attention of the viewers of their artwork
  • DOMINANCE
  • more important or more noticeable than its surroundings
  • ...22 more annotations...
  • Information is rarely of uniform interest in art
  • When there is dominance there must be subordination
  • There are three major methods for controlling emphasis in a visual image: contrast, placement and isolation.
  • One of the greatest possible contrasts in art is the difference between black and white
  • If color is used make it bright, preferably against a dull background.
  • When it comes to being noticed B I G G E R is always better.
  • An unusual shape can call attention to itself but it is not as strong a contrast as size or value/color.
  • PLACEMENT
  • Proximity
  • Proximity
  • Proximity
  • An overlapping, touching or close object is likely to be seen next (in that order) after a primary object.
  • Texture can also be an affective similarity device.
  • ISOLATIONIsolation is a kind of placement -- where something is put. An item that stands apart from its surroundings will be more noticeable. This is not likely to make an item be noticed first but can make one item stand out.
  • Proportion is a design principle that has to do with the relationship between size and scale.
  • It is possible to make an object appear different in scale without changing its size. The fortune cookie to the left is about life size. The one in the picture below appears to be quite large in scale. They are both the same size.
  • It is important for a designer to know how to control the attention of someone viewing their artwork
  • It is important for a designer to know how to control the attention of someone viewing their artwork.
  •   CONTRAST The objective of contrast is to produce maximum visibility
  • There is usually a focal point, a place where the action begins
  • Bright colors are more attractive (attract attention) than dull colors.
  • Where you place objects is important.

    D#2 HW#2 This articles discusses the principles of design of art. Even though this does not talk about the typography principles of design, the same rules still apply. I thought it was interesting because it gives a different perspective on the same concept.
  • Kelsey Eikren on 02 Oct 11
     
    Good overall explanation of emphasis. I picked this website because it has good information on contrast and how to use it. I also like the visuals on the left, they are helpful to understanding the concept!
  • Yajahira Bojorquez on 17 Jan 12
     
    This website is setup as notes for emphasis. It talks about color, size and shape. It also talks about how placement and isolation is important. It also adds how proportion has to do with size and scale, how it makes it appear diffretn based on other objects around them.
  • Merlyn Reyna on 18 Jan 12
     
    Emphasis is more visually interesting and making what you're trying to control more interesting than others.  It is also the attention of someone viewing an artwork, design or website.  Emphasize on weather you want to attract your audience the most, maximize the visibility of your focal point. This website gives explanation of how emphasis is used in art.

    i like this page just because it has so much info on it and touches on multiple aspects of the principle
  • Michael Wheeler on 18 Jan 12
     
    this page gives a lot of information on differetn aspects of using emphasis dominance subordination contrast color/value size shape placement isolation proportion
  • Tim Buswell on 24 Jan 12
     
    This site went into great detail. Like the book, the site described that the bigger something is, the more important it must be. It also makes an argument for the center being the most important of placing. But could that really be true if something bigger and more noticable was off center?

      This is a good comparable site to part of our team writing text. Several factors like editing and proofreading relate more to the details in part 2 chapter 6 in revising team member's work. In relation to part one it does express organization from the beginning and accountability. We have to set deadlines and brainstorm how to structure collaboration for this assignment.
  • Team writing makes invention strategies public and explicit (brainstorming, listing, outlining). Team writing encourages multiple perspectives and multiple drafts. Team writing demands revision, analysis of revision strategies, and makes revision public and explicit. Team writing focuses on the presentation of the final product, encouraging editing and proofreading. Team writing allows writers to recognize differences in style, tone, organization among different writers. Team writing forces writers to reflect on their own and others' strengths, weaknesses, and individual styles and processes of writing. Team writing demands analysis of rhetorical and stylistic choices.
  • FACTORS in SUCCESSFUL TEAM WRITING the degree to which goals are clearly articulated and shared the degree of openness and mutual respect among group members the degree of control writers have over the text the degree to which writers can respond to others who may modify the text the way credit (directly or indirectly) is given an agreed-upon procedure for responding to work in process and for revising/editing
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Set deadlines for drafts; devote one whole team meeting to responses/revision of drafts. Develop, as a team, a series of questions for each reader to ask about other writers' drafts; decide, as a team, what you want to look for in each writer's draft Before distributing drafts to the team, each writer should provide a cover letter with the draft, explaining what she/he tried to accomplish, pointing out strengths/weaknesses, and asking readers specific questions about problem areas. Write back to each writer and be prepared to discuss your responses. Provide both positive and negative feedback to writers. Be descriptive, pointing to particular sections or sentences, providing suggestions for revision and explanations of those changes.
  • As the team projects progress, ask students to monitor their progress in writing, by submitting weekly minutes, for example.
  • PLANS FOR COMPLETION What tasks are left to do? How have you divided/assigned them? What do you still need to find? Do you have enough/too much material for your presentation? TEAM PROCESS Describe the way your team is working together. How have you organized the work? Division of tasks? Lead writer? Lead researcher? Lead presenter? Any problems in the team process?

Flow TWC301

shared by Shannon Ridgeway on 17 Jun 11 - Cached
  • Flow is the way your eye moves or is led through a composition. While most of us will naturally move from one element to another in our own fashion, a designer can control to some extent where the eye moves next.
  • Verbal Flow – the path taken when reading text on the page Visual Flow – the path taken when looking at images and graphics on the page
  • To make copy easier to read you can: Develop a consistent typographic style across your site – Be consistent with your use of font size, face, and color Choose a font for your copy that is easy to read – Your copy is not the place for a fancy font Remember the principle of proximity – Place headings close to the text they refer to, captions close to images. Organize your text elements so it’s clear what goes with what Watch the width of columns – Don’t make columns to wide or too narrow as each hinders reading Develop a vertical rhythm in your type – Use consistent line heights and vertical margins and paddings
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Again a consistent typographic style and a grid-based layout help maintain the pattern and strengthen the flow of your site.
  • Many images have a direction. An arrow, a hand pointing, a face looking in one direction. Your eye will speed up or slow down depending on the direction it was moving when it fell on the image.
  • Use the direction of images to control the the speed and direction of flow Create barriers when you want to reverse the eyes direction Create open paths to allow easy movement through your design Use contrasting colors and shapes to pull the eye
  • Assuming a left to right reading direction as in English, the natural visual flow for people will be a backwards “S” pattern. You can alter that natural pattern with the images you use, where you place those images, and how images, graphics, and text are mixed on the page.
  • Through good flow you can lead the eye from element to element

    This is a great website that illustrates how important flow is design. It was my favorite of all the pages I visited It gives a great definition of design flow, as well as the 2 kinds of flow (takes examples straight out of Basics of Design). It then goes on and explains how to improve your verbal and visual flow in your work.

    D#7, HW#1-- This is a great website when discussing visual and verbal flow like the book with Chapter 7. Firstly, it explains what visual flow and verbal flow exactly are so that you know where you're starting off, which I really enjoy in a website. Then, the website gives you visual examples of how to improve your current design or document.
  • Briseida Aguirre on 05 Oct 11
     
    This website is good because it gives you a scenario of something you can relate to then it gives you an explanation of both visual and verbal. Then it gives you suggestions on how to improve your work that has to do with visual and verbal flow .
  • Merlyn Reyna on 21 Feb 12
     
    Flow is the way the audience's eyes move through out the design. Its a lead from one element to another. Verbal flow is more like a path that leads you to the next reading text on a separate page. This article is really helpful way to improve "Flow" and provides examples for flow. 
  • Jordin Mitton on 22 Feb 12
     
    This is a good website to help you understand what flow is and the different types of flow. It talks about verbal flow and visual flow. It also goes on to explain how to improve your verbal flow and your visual flow.

    This webpage incorporates more details about many key aspects of flow that were also mentioned in chapter seven. There are tips to improving visual and verbal flow within a page and also how to add flow across an entire site involving many pages.

    This site shows different advertisements that, for the most part, do a great job of showing emphasis. Most use color, boldness, or hierarchy to convey their message.
