    This website goes into detail about the process of laying out projects, such as in this case brochures for your business or hotel maybe. The website goes into detail about what you can do to keep the readers attention in the page and what you have to say by appearance and how things are laid out and grouped together. In any design process this is the most important part because you must figure out how to capture the readers attention as well as maintain their attention. This website does a wonderful job at taking you through that process step by step.

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.

    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?

    This website brought to light some very interesting concepts in a humorous way. Similar to the first site that I bookmarked with Diigo, this site talks about the different ways in which emphasis can be achieved: by placement of the main topic of the site (middle of the page for main information and then information that is the next in importance be in a variety of places - isolated? continued in the line of sight provided?), through contrasting colors, and by changing the proportion of images within the text to make them standout.

TWC 301 Remediation immediacy hypermediacy

shared by Heather Groen on 27 Mar 12 - No Cached
  • Heather Groen on 27 Mar 12
     
    According to this website, immediacy allows for a synthetic experience of reality that generated real emotions. For example, a horror film that has its viewers clutching their seats and jumping at the slightest noise has achieved immediacy. The film transcends its status as just that; a staged, planned, and recorded movie. It becomes "real" for the audience. Hypermediacy, on the other hand, calls attention to the medium. This would occur while watching a film and reveling in its special effects created by computer. Here is a good explanation of the relationship between immediacy and hypermediacy: "Immediacy erases that limits of what we are capable of experiencing, while hypermediacy gives us the power and the means by which to experience it."

    This is an article about stories of Twitter turning into a customer service site for companies. It talks about how a man got the attention of a major company by tweeting them many times so they would listen to him. Twitter is becoming a site where customer service will be the norm. One man describes the social media world a New York City night club where it is always crowded and loud. And the experience can be either good or bad. Social media in the business world is going to grow as more and more people jump on the twitter train.

    This was my favorite page found on my search for content related to chapter three of basics of design. This site gives a great outline of what the design principle contrast is and how to properly use it in page design. It describes and shows examples of positional, shape, color, and size contrast. This was a wonderful site that supported and reinforced examples right out of the book. I really loved the great and creative sites that it had in it's examples and I felt inspired to aim for design of that quality.

    Summary: Contrast is usually kept simple, like color for the beginners but there are other elements to consider when it comes to contrast in any design. The first thing that most of learn in color contrast and the obvious of color is the white and black which is okay but there are other ways to use color to grab attention as the examples under color with explain. Next to color that grabs attention is size, the bigger the better as the writer explains because it shows that something is important and will draw the read to read the rest. Then we have shape contrast which gives a different feel to make other things notable cause no one likes to see a plain and boring design. Finally there is positional contrast that makes hierarchy standout by using different alignments. I found this website to the be the best because it touch on everything in the reading and gave examples to show what is meant on each topic.

    This photo shows the repetition of color and how i draws attention to the hair of all the women in the crowd. The technique used in this form of repetition was the technique of visually and conceptually related images. The visual aspect is the red hair and fair skin of the women within the photo. The conceptual aspect is all the same hair and skin type people gathering together creates a sense of repetition.

    This article was my favorite not only because it represents the main points with using contrast but it talks about using contrast in jewelry design. It goes to show that contrast is used in many different things. In jewelry it is used to show the different elements in a jewelry piece. It talks about the contrast in color in a bead can help draw attention to the jewelry piece. In the contrast of scale it discusses the size of the bead that helps the jewelry stand out. It also describes the contrast of shape and of value. The website then has pictures of different jewelry pieces that show how each type of contrast is used differently

    This website has all the information about creating a great website. It goes through each step with detail and an example. It states that first a designer should use an effective marketing model in order to get attention from the audience, then one should play with colors for their website. Once one plays with the colors and main idea, then one can focus on balance. It was very informative.
