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?

  • 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
      Delaney Hensley on 08 Jun 11
       
      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
      Delaney Hensley on 08 Jun 11
       
      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.

  • 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 on 08 Jun 11
       
      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
      Delaney Hensley on 08 Jun 11
       
      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
      Delaney Hensley on 08 Jun 11
       
      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
      Delaney Hensley on 08 Jun 11
       
      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.
  • Karla Freeman on 10 Jun 11
     
    Gives great definitions of contrast and design. I think it will be a great resource now and later.
  • Merlyn Reyna on 24 Jan 12
     
    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.

      Formal reports are used constantly in a professional environment to propose and discuss new ideas and designs. An official report has to flow well so the the ideas, designs, and text flow easily when presented to the right audience. It helps organize and structure thoughts to paper backed with data and other supporting documents.
  • Engineers and scientists write formal reports for many reasons, including the documentation of experiments and designs
  • In a formal report, the audience expects a methodical presentation of the subject that includes summaries of important points as well as appendices on tangential and secondary points
  • ...16 more annotations...
  • Format distinguishes formal reports from an informal reporting of information. A well-crafted formal report is formatted such that the report's information is readily accessible to all the audiences
  • Front Matter
  • The front matter to a formal report includes the preliminary information that orients all readers to the content of the report.
  • Front Cover. The front cover of a formal report is important. The front cover is what people see first.
  • Contents Page. The table of contents includes the names of all the headings and subheadings for the main text.
  • Summary. Perhaps no term in engineering writing is as confusing as the term "summary."
  • References. Use a reference page to list alphabetically the references of your report.
  • Main Text The text portion of your formal report contains the introduction, discussion, and conclusion of your report.
  • Introduction. The introduction of a report prepares readers for understanding the discussion of the report.
  • Discussion. The discussion or middle is the story of your work. You do not necessarily present results in the order that you understood them, but in the order that is easiest for your readers to understand them.
  • Conclusion. The conclusion section analyzes for the most important results from the discussion and evaluates those results in the context of the entire work.
  • Back Matter The back matter portion of your report contains your appendices, glossary, and references.
  • Appendices. Use appendices to present supplemental information for secondary readers.
  • Glossary. Use a glossary to define terms for secondary readers. Arrange terms in alphabetical order.
  • Title Page. The title page for a formal report often contains the same information as is on the cover.

    This website contained a lot of information that just gave an overview on the basics of formal reports. It also explained how formal reports differ from an informal way of reporting information. It also split a formal report into 3 sections that I did not see in the other website I found. In this one it states that there is front matter, main text, and back matter. Each of these contains different sections within as well. Very helpful for when we have to work on Project #3!

    I like this website because it gives you good explanation on different things you need in a good report. It talks about the front matter like front cover. tittle page, contents page and summary. Also about the main text like introduction, discussion, conlcusion. Back matter is also important with the appendices and glossary.

  • intensity of expression that gives impressiveness or importance to something
    • Delaney Hensley
      Delaney Hensley on 02 Jun 11
       
      intesity is a good word to describe what is emphasized. in art usually your eye goes to one impressive point that is more important than others.
  • Certainly emphasis does not make a work appealing to everyone, but without a focal point or emphasis you may be looking at a big pot of stew
    • Delaney Hensley
      Delaney Hensley on 02 Jun 11
       
      this is an example of "limiting the amount of content" writing can become a big confusing "pot of stew" like art.

      these pictures all have main points that your eye goes to first because they are emphasized with color or images.
  • Value brings out the differences among a foreground that is in your face, a midground that may serve as the focal area or simply support, and a background that may be miles away
    • Delaney Hensley
      Delaney Hensley on 02 Jun 11
       
      things in the foreground are emphasized by being bigger and the things in the backround are secondary objects.
  • Your eye goes to the brightest colors, but also to designs on an angle
    • Delaney Hensley
      Delaney Hensley on 02 Jun 11
       
      bright colors are a good way to emphasize important things. The eye is attracted to bright colors the quickest.
  • You can use color, shape, line, texture, value, space, and or form in a way that distinguished one element or area from the whole to focus the viewer through the piece.
    • Delaney Hensley
      Delaney Hensley on 02 Jun 11
       
      many elements can help distinguish important words or images. having dark colors with light colors is a good way to create a contrast.

Each section has different paintings from various artists but very good examples and ideas of how to lay out things and where the person observing will focus according to your layout.

      Balance ties together a piece as a whole.
  • Different colors, shapes sizes, etc. create different degrees of interest. It is the distribution of this interest that you need to control.

      "Shape relationship" is a good thing to think about to give ideas of how to create balance.
  • same weight on both sides

      Delaney Hensley on 09 Jun 11
       
      Balance is all about weight
  • left to right balance, which is the most important aspect of balance. But there is more to balance than that. Top to bottom balance is also important. Most images seem more stable if the bottom seems slightly heavier. If the top seems too heavy the composition can look precarious.
    • Delaney Hensley
      Delaney Hensley on 09 Jun 11
       
      Balance is important in all directions
  • Fine artists rarely use pure symmetry for this reason. It is more applicable to commercial designs.
    • Delaney Hensley
      Delaney Hensley on 09 Jun 11
       
      things dont need to be exactly symetrical to be balanced
  • One of the four colors can be used as a border.
    • Delaney Hensley
      Delaney Hensley on 09 Jun 11

  • Move all of the parts of the composition around like you did for the ambiguous figure/ground project, trying different combinations, proportions and relationships before you are satisfied. Try taking pieces off.
    • Delaney Hensley
      Delaney Hensley on 09 Jun 11

How To Control Flow Within Your Web Designs - 2 views

flow TWC301 design

shared by Shannon Ridgeway on 05 Oct 11 - Cached
  • Visual design has a flow as well. You have something to communicate and you want your audience to take in different parts of your page. Some elements of the design are more important and you want to make sure they’re seen right away, and some elements of the design are best seen after having first seen a different part of the design.
  • Design flow (also referred to as movement or direction) is the way the eye moves or is led through a composition
  • Repetition in color, shape, and size create a path that can pull you to move in a certain direction.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • • Arrows – again it’s difficult not to visually follow the direction an arrow points• People/Faces looking in one direction – similar to arrows when we see a person facing or looking in a given direction, we tend to also look to see what they’re looking at.• Perspective – creates strong visual cues to follow. By it’s nature perspective creates a direction that begs to be followed. If all roads lead to Rome, you’re going to end up in Rome at some point
  • The large black circle in the upper left is the entry point into the painting. It’s the first thing you notice. It’s larger and darker than anything else on the page. It holds more visual weight than any other element in the painting.
  • Space can imply flow in a variety of ways. The space between elements creates paths of emptiness much like footpaths through a forest of garden. An element with visual weight calls for you to rest your eyes on it. Space gives you room to move around elements.
  • ivette munoz on 05 Oct 11
     
    I liked this article the best. It discuses flow within web designs and it covers all the basis for smooth flow for people that are trying to create their own web page. It covers what design flow is and gives an image example of how flow flows within a graphic design. The author states that it is important to create an entry point, "something that stands out from everything else so that most people look at it first". The author also gives advice on controling flow within a design by using arrows, people or faces that look in a certain direction, and perspective. Using space to control flow is something that I found interesting the author states that "varying the space between a series of elements can be used to create rhythm and motion".

    This site includes several visuals to supplement the presented material on using flow in page design. The primary elements are most important and are intended to be seen first. Other elements are best viewed after the primary element. This hierarchy can be established through flow. An entry point is something that stands out from everything else so that the audience will look at it first. Obvious directional cues include arrows, people/faces looking in one direction, and perspective. Repetition and space can also be used to create flow.

    This website gives very important guidance to learning how to self-evaluate your blog. The steps involved with evaluating your blog include: read your post, read it aloud, ask big questions, and lastly read it again. When reading it, silently or aloud, it is important to focus on what you like about the post and what you dislike. When reading it out loud, make sure the words create a flow that is easy for the audience to follow.

  • BalanceA perfectly symmetrical piece may have no focal point because each element is equally emphasized. Radial balance generally draws the eye first to the central point in the design. ProximityA part of the design that is isolated from other parts can become a focal point. AlignmentThe eye is naturally drawn to a point in or near the center of a page, giving elements in that area perceived importance. RepetitionRepeating an image or a word can establish its importance. ContrastSet words or phrases in a contrasting bold type or italics to give them emphasis. White spaceUse white space to isolate elements and give them emphasis.

      The book BoD refers to this "White Space" concept but I think this page explains it better, and gives you permission to use it to your advantage.

    I like how this site talks about texture. Texture can be used on a blog to send a vibe of yourself to the readers. This is important because readers who follow your blog want to feel like they know you.

      I like to point out that multimedia writing can take place on any format including skin. In this picture you can see the importance of some letters,such as the ones in bold of larger letters, as well as the balance in the text.

      Here the trait of simplicity is being used, as well contrast of the ink that the words are being used in making the message look more of a part of the body than a tattoo.

      This is a useful site which tells me about the security of this site. This is the reason why I use fake name for many of these programs and release very little personal information. Several of the other sites talk about upgrades of this program with plugins. This site advises against it and how to set up stronger passwords and not to link personal MySQL server to connect remotely if working on a project with another computer. So updated security is essential and avoiding 3rd party plugins can be important.

      The main concept in CH1 identifies the importance of the design process through various steps. This site specifies web site building application and how to make it simple for the average viewer.
  • REST In simple terms, REST is a set of principles for structuring a web application and RESTful refers to an application that follows those rules. Within a RESTful MVC application, controllers are limited to a standard set of actions to perform: Index—displays a list of items of a particular type Show—displays the details of a specific item New—displays a form for creating a new item Create—saves an item to the database using the data from New Edit—displays a form for editing an item Update—updates an item in the database using the data from Edit Destroy—removes an item from the database
