D #7 HW #6 Copyright: examples and explanations - 0 views

  •  
    Includes a "Categories of Works" section discussion the types of works covered by copyright, such as literary works, musical and dramatic works, pantomimes and choreography, pictorial and graphic works, sculptures, films and other audiovisual works, sound recordings, and finally architectural works. Copyrighted works can fall into more than one category (a play is both a literary and dramatic work, for example) and the list is not exhaustive. A work that doesn't seem to fit into any of these categories could still be covered by copyright if it is "an original work of authorship." The chapter then covers each category in more detail. Literature, for example, is defined not just as novels and plays but also movie scripts, letters, email messages, blogs, computer programs, and even souvenir T-shirt messages. It also doesn't have to be tangible; a short story doesn't need to be published in physical format to be copyrighted.

D#5 HW#1 NHS Designs - Design Principles - Alignment - 0 views

    What I love about this resource is the menu on the right with links to 12 different types of design - business cards, posters, even short stories - and visual examples. The examples are so helpful and really bring out how alignment can help in all categories.

Deadline #8-HW#4- the digital age / Numerical Representation - 0 views

    I thought this small webpage was very useful! I wanted to focus on the five differences that Manovich mentions. This one focuses on numerical representation. It summarizes the two main categories: the digital code created mathematically and the digital code created with an algorithm.

D#4,HW#5- CRAP 3 - 1 views

  •  
    Contrast: focal point is an image of a laptop, aligned to the left with its description to the right. Gives a lot of empty space around it to make it your main focus. Besides the focal image other images pop against the black background. Repetition: Menu items are linked blue at the top of the page. Smaller unimportant items linked blue and smaller at the bottom. Alignment: Everything is aligned to the left in each group. Proximity: Under focal point are 4 groups with category titles that you can click to enlarge to see different related aspects of the site.
  •  
    This website is a very good example of how to design a website. Everything is very aesthetically pleasing, and follows the CRAP principles.

    I really like this blog. I think it has great flow through the list of categories on the right side, it's all very close together. Also, the beginning of each post and/or new topic is bold and pink - this makes it visually appealing and organized.

The New York Times - Breaking News, World News & Multimedia - 0 views

    Well this is an example of BAD flow. There are so many things going on here that I can't get organized. All of the titles are bold throughout the page but very spread out, there is a grid but no flow or organization. On the far left there are categories but that is one small example of flow on the website. Otherwise, I think the NY Times website is too scattered and needs a more consistent flow.

    The Phoenix, and in general every location, craigslist website is prone to the repetition guideline of CRAP; every column is listed in only a blue hyper-link. When you pull up a certain category, every listing is also in blue hyper-link and there is no bolding what so ever.

    Forgot to emphasize, the layout of craigslist helps to understand what not to do when designing a site's look.
  •  
    wow this website does a number to the eyes i think its to bold and blue. to me i think that it;s too much. i do like however how everything is symitrical and in order that i can give to them.
  •  
    This is not one of the most trusted sites that I have ever been to but however it is highly used in trying to sell items that are local in the area. It is known for having some questionable items, but this is efficient in custom service because instead of worrying of shipping you can find other people in the same city for quick service or fast money. A huge difference in this site is that this does not carry as much restrictions which may worry some but it does provide different services in this way.

D#3 HW#1 Contrast and Meaning - 0 views

  • your grasp of these fundamentals determines your ability to communicate effectively. Without fundamentals, you will flounder when faced with complex design challenges or constraints.
    • Delaney Hensley
       
      some fundamentals being the tips they have given us in the readings so far.
  • These basics of creative communication are consistent across art forms: painting, music, dance, acting, poetry, design, and all other artistic endeavors. I divide them into two categories: vocabulary and grammar.
    • Delaney Hensley
       
      Contrast as well as other fundamentals are not only used in one media of communication it is used in all kinds of communication.
  • nce, angular lines and forms are generally indicative of strength, speed, and masculinity, while rounded lines and forms are generally associated with softness, slower tempo, and femininity.
    • Delaney Hensley
       
      Different lines and textures convey different ideas and feelings.
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • Moreover, most of the rules of language have exceptions, and some creative modes of communication make little or no reference to rules. Every language is lent nuance, style and character by the way that each individual uses it, and there are exceptions for every grammatical rule.
    • Delaney Hensley
       
      Using funamentals to convey important information is communicating and in a way is like its own language.
  • which are used to define hierarchy, manipulate certain widely understood relationships, and exploit context to enhance or redefine those relationships…all in an effort to convey meaning. Contrast is important because the meaningful essence of any thing is defined by its value, properties, or quality relative to something else. That’s right: nothing has much meaning by itself, which is one reason why design is important.
    • Delaney Hensley
       
      expressing the important information in something is best shown when contrasted. The more a title stands out the more impact it is going to have on the viewer and the easier they will remember that name.
  • contrast is closely tied to human perception and survival instincts, as we’ll examine later, and this makes contrast a powerful and essential tool for designers.
    • Delaney Hensley
       
      it is human insticnt to be drawn to bold information
  • Furthermore, each component is but a piece of the overall project message and objective. With creative uses of contrast, you can influence user choices and compel specific actions.
    • Delaney Hensley
       
      each piece of finished product has its own role, it is important to distinguish that role and convey it appropriately.
  • The function of contrast in defining meaning can be explained by comparing fundamental opposites: dark/light, soft/hard, fast/slow.
  • every element on the page you’re designing has to be positioned, styled, sized, or otherwise distinguished in accordance with its specific importance and place in the overall communicative objective.
  • ontrast helps lead the reader’s eye into and through your layout.
  • Contrast is everywhere and a part of everything we see, do, experience, and understand.
  • Contrast is just one component of design fundamentals.
  •  
    Gives great definitions of contrast and design. I think it will be a great resource now and later.
  •  
    Contrast defines hierarchy, understanding relationships to convey a message.  It is used to hand in hand with the principle of emphasis in order to keep its emphasis.  Every element must be positioned with style, size, and distinguished with a specific importance.  This article gives an idea of how contrast is typically used by giving examples.
