    D#5, HW#1- I enjoyed this website for multiple reasons. First of all, I enjoy websites that start off defining the design element. In this case, alignment. Then, it continues on with examples of documents and even different real life examples including the benefits of the alignment changes. It compares before images with the after images just like the book does also.

D#6 HW#2 - Gestalt Principles - 0 views

shared by Santiago Tolosa on 14 Jun 11 - Cached
  • Gestalt is also known as the "Law of Simplicity" or the "Law of Pragnanz" (the entire figure or configuration), which states that every stimulus is perceived in its most simple form.
  • Gestalt theorists followed the basic principle that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. In other words, the whole (a picture, a car) carried a different and altogether greater meaning than its individual components (paint, canvas, brush; or tire, paint, metal, respectively). In viewing the "whole," a cognitive process takes place – the mind makes a leap from comprehending the parts to realizing the whole,
  • 1. Figure/Ground
  • ...12 more annotations...
  • This principle shows our perceptual tendency to separate whole figures from their backgrounds based on one or more of a number of possible variables, such as contrast, color, size, etc.
  • Tips Clearly differentiate between figure and ground in order to focus attention and minimize perceptual confusion.
  • Camouflage Camouflage is the deliberate alteration of figure-ground so that the figure blends into the ground. 
  • 2.  Similarity
  • Gestalt theory states that things which share visual characteristics such as shape, size, color, texture, or value will be seen as belonging together in the viewer’s mind. 
  • 3.  Proximity
  • The Gestalt law of proximity states that "objects or shapes that are close to one another appear to form groups". Even if the shapes, sizes, and objects are radically different, they will appear as a group if they are close together.
  • 4.  Closure The satisfaction of a pattern encoded, as it were, into the brain, thus triggering recognition of the stimulus. This can involve the brain's provision of missing details thought to be a part of a potential pattern, or, once closure is achieved, the elimination of details unnecessary to establish a pattern match.
  • 5.  Good Continuation (Continuity)
  • This Gestalt law states that learners "tend to continue shapes beyond their ending points".
  • 6.  Symmetry or Order
  • If an object is asymmetrical, the viewer will waste time trying to find the problem instead of concentrating on the instruction.

    This fact sheet on resolving conflict is a great example of ch. 5.  Points out how and when it tends to arise. It also includes the 5 most dominant styles people use to deal with conflict. If you feel as if you are at a dead end with your group member(s) there is a conflict worksheet to take you step by step through fixing your issue.

en.wikipedia.org/Copyright

copyright

shared by Shay O'Neill on 18 Jul 10 - Cached
  • Copyright subsists for a variety of lengths in different jurisdictions. The length of the term can depend on several factors, including the type of work (e.g. musical composition or novel), whether the work has been published or not, and whether the work was created by an individual or a corporation. In most of the world, the default length of copyright is the life of the author plus either 50 or 70 years. In the United States, the term for most existing works is a fixed number of years after the date of creation or publication. In some countries (for example, the United States[44] and the United Kingdom[45]), copyrights expire at the end of the calendar year in question. The length and requirements for copyright duration are subject to change by legislation, and since the early 20th century there have been a number of adjustments made in various countries, which can make determining the duration of a given copyright somewhat difficult. For example, the United States used to require copyrights to be renewed after 28 years to stay in force, and formerly required a copyright notice upon first publication to gain coverage. In Italy and France, there were post-wartime extensions that could increase the term by approximately 6 years in Italy and up to about 14 in France. Many countries have extended the length of their copyright terms (sometimes retroactively). International treaties establish minimum terms for copyrights, but individual countries may enforce longer terms than those.[46]

      I liked this website best because it illustrates the grid method explained in chapter 5. Also it notes that most designers forget about alignment as a design concept which I related to given my first draft of project 1 had no alignment concepts what so ever.

    This page is more of a resource than an example of aligntment. The examples that Kayla(the author) shows looks like good examples however the resolution they were posted in makes it blurry and hard to judge. Kayla however breaks down in a few brief paragraphs how effective and important alignment is within an article, or project. One aspect that she hits on that makes a lot of sense to me is the images in alignment and how they can also be placed into alignment even though it is a photo. There is a lot more that goes into alignment that first expected.

    This site gives some interesting views on alignment and some examples that I'm not sure I like. In saying that though I really do like some of the notes for instance, that there are many points to align to on a layout. It also is much nicer to use color contrast and other features along with the alignment.

    This website is very helpful when it comes to explaining alignment.  Even if you have other good elements going around your picture/website, it might look cluttered and there can be a bad use of alignment.  This website gives you examples of how to use proper alignment in pictures and on a layout by using the lines, shapes, and contrasting colors.

  • Scientists and engineers routinely have the need to express themselves clearly, concisely and persuasively in applying for grants, publishing papers, reporting to their supervisors, communicating with their colleagues, etc.; in experimental science, formal reports are the primary means by which experimentalists communicate the results of their work to the scientific community.
  • condensed, compact and brief presentation
  • The report should be no more than 800 words, (3 pages of double spaced type) and 2 pages of graphs and/or diagrams.
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • 1.) Title: This should be short, but precise, and convey the point of the report. It could be either a statement or a question. For example, a title like "Voltage-current relationship of a transistor" is good, as is "Does the transistor obey Ohm's Law?". But simply "The transistor" is too vague and is not a good title. 2.) Abstract: The abstract summarizes, in a couple of sentences, the content of the report. It provides a brief (5-10 lines) outline of what the report is about; it should include a statement of what it is you measured and its value (Warning! -- students often make abstracts too long -- note that an abstract is not an introduction.) 3.) Introduction: The role of this section is to state why the work reported is useful, where it fits in the bigger picture of the field (or of science in general), and to discuss briefly the theoretical hypotheses which are to be tested (e.g. for the Absolute Zero experiment, state the meaning of absolute zero and how it is to be measured, mention the equation PV = nRT and discuss its verification, and under what circumstances you expect it to be valid). 4.) Experimental Method: Describe the apparatus and procedure used in the experiment. Remember that a picture (or simple diagram) is often worth a thousand words! Enough details should be provided for the reader to have a clear idea of what was done. But be careful to not swamp the reader with insignificant or useless facts. 5.) Results and Discussion: In this section, you present and interpret the data you have obtained. If at all possible, avoid tables of data. Graphs are usually a much clearer way to present data (make sure axes are labeled, and error bars are shown!). Please make sure the graphs and diagrams have concise figure captions explaining what they are about! Do not show the details of error calculations. The derivation of any formulae you use is not required, but should be referenced. Explain how your data corroborates (or does not corroborate) the hypotheses being tested, and compare, where possible, with other work. Also, estimate the magnitude of systematic errors which you feel might influence your results (e.g. In the Absolute Zero experiment, how big is the temperature correction? Does this alter your results significantly?). 6.) Conclusion: In a few lines, sum up the results of your experiment. Do your data agree (within experimental error) with theory? If not, can you explain why? Remember that the conclusion is a summary; do not say anything in the conclusion which you have not already discussed more fully earlier in the text. 7.) References: In this section of the report list all of the documents that you refer to in your report. We recommend numbering the references sequentially in the text, in their order of appearance, and listing them in the same order in the references section. One possible reference format is used by the Canadian Journal of Physics. That is: for JOURNALS: Author(s), Journal Title, Volume (year) page number for BOOKS: Author(s), Book Title, Publisher, city of publication, year of publication, page (or range of relevant pages).
