    I found chapter 3 of this document useful. It gives you common elements of good writing, do's and don'ts of writing styles and usage. All of the chapters are relevant for this project and provide a checklist at the end of each.

D#7.0 HW#4 Email etiquette for effective email replies - 1 views

www.emailreplies.com

chapter 12

shared by Anthony Sanchez on 05 Mar 10 - Cached
  • Be aware that when you send an email in rich text or HTML format, the sender might only be able to receive plain text emails. If this is the case, the recipient will receive your message as a .txt attachment. Most email clients however, including Microsoft Outlook, are able to receive HTML and rich text messages.
  • Do not forward chain letters. We can safely say that all of them are hoaxes. Just delete the letters as soon as you receive them.
  • This will almost always annoy your recipient before he or she has even read your message.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Use a meaningful subject
  • Even more so than the high-priority option, you must at all times try to avoid these types of words in an email or subject line. Only use this if it is a really, really urgent or important message.

    This is a comprehensive list of email etiquette, including many things I had not heard before or read in chapter 12...such as, ""Do not copy a message or attachment without permission" and "use active instead of passive" voice.

    This article is coming from a business's perspective about why it is important to have employees follow good email etiquette. We had read about important reasons like professionalism and efficiency, but not so much about a company's liability for its employee's emails.

      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?

TWC301 Chapter 2 emphasis

shared by Tim Buswell on 04 Jun 11 - Cached
  • 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.

    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.

  • 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?

TWC 301 Chapter 4 asymmetrical balance web design

shared by Heather Groen on 27 Jan 12 - No Cached
  • Heather Groen on 27 Jan 12
     
    This webpage explores asymmetry in web design. The author mentions that many websites use the technique of balancing a large image on one side with text on the other. He talks about how an image can be directly tied with the text, such as an example of a product, or it could be more decorative in that it plays off an idea presented by the site but doesn't necessarily reflect the product or service. This site also explores the use of backgrounds and how to perhaps make a common two-column design more unique.

    Your mindmap is good because it is brief and are one-word points and easy to learn from because it forces a student to really "think" and recall, to use their memory about what they read, to learn. I liken it to studying with flashcards. You put down a word that triggers a memory. There were a lot of concepts to memorize in the chapter and setting up a mindmap this way, with simple flashes of info., encourages that memorization exercise, I think. ---Valerie Cooper

      Once again I am choosing to post a visual depiction because sometimes in design you just have to see it. I liked this website because it not only touched on the aspects of symetrical and asymetrical that were talked about in chapter 4 but also several other forms of balance as a design principal.

    This website shows the key words that explain emphasis. "center of interest", "focal point" "contrast the primary element". It also gives examples of art pieces with emphasis and without emphasis to give a visual prospective.

    I really like this website because it gives a more thorough description of Emphasis when it comes to design. You achieve emphasis by creating a focal point.
  • Tim Buswell on 24 Jan 12
     
    This is just a solid, bare-bones explaination of emphasis that can transcend many different types of media. This site applies mostly to the fine arts, but as we've seen in the book, type and multimedia can benefit as well

    This website explains the many routes that repetition can take in design. There are so many ways that a designer can place repetition but the overall concept is to make it in a way that it will look organized and strong. This will appeal to the audience and make it so they will continue to read it.

    Repetition focuses on how elements of a design are used more than once throughout a design in varying ways. By using repetition a design becomes far more unified. This site contains 4 examples of sites that use repetition.
