    I enjoyed this website because it gives good clear images of the way to use alignment and how to manipulate images so they are placed in alignment .
  • ivette munoz on 21 Sep 11
     
    The article uses pictures to describe how to use verticle alignment and horizontal alignment. This is a good example of how grids are used to ensure correct alignment with drawings and not just multiple page designs. I believe this shows that alignment is important in visuals.

    This site offers a step-by-step process of generating thumbnail sketches. The author of this site echoes the textbook's stress on the importance of this seemingly insignificant step. It can be a real time saver to help develop a composition from its earliest conception when my ideas are still a little fuzzy.

    I thought this was a good site just because with all the priciples it describes it gives diagrams or drawings as examples to demostrate what they are talking about.
  • Michael Wheeler on 11 Jan 12
     
    This page decribes similar or the same principles as the text. Aside from expanding on the explanation of each princple this page offers diagrams and drawings to try and help demonstrate what the princple is describing. Principles listed on page: *Balance *Rhythm *Proportion *Dominance *Unity Even though the principles may have different names than the text the way they describe them easily relates to the ones presented in the book.

    The home page of the Wall Street journal is a site that I think has adhered well to the good use of design principles we have discussed. Certain elements (location of links, tools, etc) are consistent, repeated no matter where your in-site browsing leads. It is always a simple matter to return the home page, and the content, though varied in topic and section, are placed and located in instantly comfortable page areas. The use of color and contrast to delineate different sections draw the eyes right where they need to be, and the fusion of advertising and written content is fused seamlessly. This website is nearly overflowing with all manner of content, yet the design and appearance of the home page is neither cluttered nor confusing. I believe this is an excellent example of the successful use of C.R.A.P. design elements.

    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 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.

    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

    In this site, Microsoft uses font plus size contrast to distinguish between information order, as well as with the video being that it uses a sort of detail contrast to draw you to it when compared to the simplicity of the rest of the site.

    I think this site shows good contrast in the title too, because they're emphasizing COOKING in Cooking Channel and that word is bigger and bolder. Also, underneath the title there are a few examples. "Labor Day Summer Feast" - labor day is a different color and bolder than summer feast, drawing the readers eye to a labor day recipe.

    Principles of contrast draws the readers eye and creates organization. "The greater the difference the greater the contrast," is a correct statement used when incorporating contrast in your design.    This is my favorite website because it shows visual examples of contrast. It also shows different elements that can be enhanced with the principles of contrast.

      Remediation is a great advance and is opening the door to those who do not work with traditional means such as the world of art.  The computer allows for a new branch of art although it does revolutionize the way art is made and how it is critiqued.  
  • “media” – suitable vehicles of art, and he proposed that a solution to this “bricoleur problem” will be largely determined by “analogies and disanalogies that we can construct between the existing arts and the art in question” (1980: 43).
  • Every work of computer art has an interface or display made up of text, images, or sound; and perhaps these provide a basis for constructing the comparisons needed to solve the bricoleur problem. Remediation to the rescue after all? Not so fast.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Some readers will have noticed a sneaky reformulation of the bricoleur problem as concerning what is a suitable medium for appreciation instead of art.
  • They say that any medium is in principle a suitable vehicle for art.
  • One appreciates The Sims for how its little dramas are realized through interaction: the interaction is what it is only given the representational elements and the representation is what it is only given the interaction. So, in trying to understand why video games are suitable vehicles for appreciation, why not draw analogies between drama-realized-interactively and drama-realized-by-actors-following-a-script?
  • Perhaps the analogies we need to solve computer art’s acute case of the bricoleur problem are not to be found by comparing interactivity to media like acting, narrative, depiction, and tone-meter-timbre structures, but rather by comparing the formal, expressive, and cognitive achievements of interactivity alongside those of acting, narrative, depiction, and tone-meter-timbre structures.
  • . To the extent that the problem pushes
  • Second, the “normally” requires a word of explanation. It is possible to appreciate a K as a K* (Lopes 2008). For example, it is possible to appreciate a building as a sculpture, though buildings are not sculptures, and it is also possible to appreciate a building as an antelope, though it would probably not come off very well (it depends on the building!).

    One of the reasons WordPress is so popular is because of its flexibility. Designers, developers, and bloggers have plenty of options. In this post we'll look at a combination of tutorials for improving a WordPress-based site, and plugins that can provide added functionality that will bring new possibilities. Tutorials: Build a Featured Posts Section for WordPress Magazine themes are becoming increasingly popular. There are plenty of quality premium themes available, and also some decent free magazine themes, but you may want to build or customize your own. This tutorial covers the process of coding the index.php file to set up a magazine-style front page with a featured post section. - if you're willing to download all the plugins that are available from this site, you can really have the wordpress site look awesome and provide a lot more options.

    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.
