    What I gathered from the other websites, this one explains it the simplest. It is when you communicate between more than one country.

    I found this to be a very interesting read that contrasts transnational comunicaions.
  •  
    The reason I liked reading about this resource is that it is relateable to us and shows a direct connection to the concept about transnational communication. This study was about looking how Arab's of middle eastern descent have settled in a large area around Detroit now sit maintain and create connections with their families, heritage, and friends located half the world away. To me this shows a real world application of how this happens and the essay goes on to look at several parts of the communities and how age and technology play roles into this equation as well. While it does not really go into some of the definitions of the textbook I think it is more important with its actually occurrence and discovering what, how, why, and when it is happening in society.

    I like that this article discusses the grow populations of Arab groups, especially in the Detroit area, and how we need to get a better understanding between the two cultures.

    This is an interesting little presentation that compares American (or Western) values, attitudes, and behaviors with those of other cultures, and discusses how these differences can create problems in the workplace.

    Hi Rochelle, I'm glad you shared this website. What I love about it is that it is simple, clear, concise and has awesome visuals, awesome layout, diagrams, tables , that help teach us how to write to an international audience in an easy way. I bookmarked it in my diigo and will be using this for the years to come. It is also an excellent example of technical communication. Good find! Thanks! ---Valerie Cooper

D#5 HW#1 The Power of Alignment | Webitect - 1 views

    • Rebecca Anderson
       
      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.

  • Alignment
  • One of these points of alignment is the corner of the walls
  • Not enough attention to alignment can make or break the beauty of a website design
  • using the lines, shapes, and contrasting colors of the image
  • designers used images, color contrast, and features of their respective websites to create an interesting and effective use of alignment
  • beauty for all viewers
  •  
    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 page goes into great detail about the importance of alignment, especially in web design. It also has many examples of alignment in different pages for you to see the effects.
  •  
    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.

D#5 HW# 1.1: Design Notes: Alignment - 0 views

      NB:Good alignment is invisible. Most readers wont conciously notice that everything is lined up neatly but they will feel it when things are out of alignment

      Alignment involves the visual effect of setting object or text in an order that is comfortable for the viewer and deliver proper impact. Edge and Center are main concepts. Fine points impact the placement of them object where it makes more sense and balances the picture.
  • ALIGNMENT
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • Items can line up either along their edges or on their centers. Alignment is used extensively to organize all graphic arts. Almost all text uses alignment to organize lines of type. The letters align along their bases and the lines begin (and/or end) along a line
  • There are two major types of alignment: edge and center.
  • EDGE ALIGNMENT Any object with flat edge(s) can be used for edge alignment. Rectangles are especially well suited for this since they have four flat edges to align. Their right angels also give a sense of order to a composition using them (similarity).
  • CENTER ALIGNMENT Any shaped items can be organized using center alignment. Simple shapes work best because it is easier to judge their centers so the alignment is easier to notice.
  • FINE POINTS
  • The edges of information within a picture can also align with other edges in a composition. This technique can add subtle touches to a composition.
  • Centering in a negative space is a kind of alignment. This works best when there is some other alignment to back up the centering.
  • Narrow strips of background between pictures and text blocks are called gutters.
  • Inserts are words or images that overlap other images. They can partially overlap or be completely inside. They make a compact package of two or more sets of information and can conserve space or hide unwanted areas in an image.

    This website has a good definition of the alignment as well as it also provides various examples .Which enhances the understanding of this particular element.

    This is a really great website which goes really in-depth about alignment. It covers the basics, but also shows more subtle techniques, such as center alignment on a vertical axis, center alignment in negative space with gutters and alignment which occures within the actual pictures.
  •  
    This webpage was helpful because it focused on alignment of images. This is beneficial because we are in the middle of reviewing and editing our comic tutorials. By placing your cursor over the images with red figures, you are also able to see the grid that was used which I thought was pretty cool!
  •  
    Good website it talks about the two basic types of alignment and it gives good examples and pictures explaining each one. Edge and center alignment are the two basic types of alignment. Center alignment also refers to having a symmetrical balance.
  •  
    I like this website because it features a lot of examples of alignment. It uses examples such as shapes and pictures. It also touches a little bit on the grid system, which I thought was neat! :)
