D#7 HW# 4.1: Howe Writing Initiative : Teaching Team Writing - 0 views

    • Alex Portela
       
      This is a good comparable site to part of our team writing text. Several factors like editing and proofreading relate more to the details in part 2 chapter 6 in revising team member's work. In relation to part one it does express organization from the beginning and accountability. We have to set deadlines and brainstorm how to structure collaboration for this assignment.
  • Team writing makes invention strategies public and explicit (brainstorming, listing, outlining). Team writing encourages multiple perspectives and multiple drafts. Team writing demands revision, analysis of revision strategies, and makes revision public and explicit. Team writing focuses on the presentation of the final product, encouraging editing and proofreading. Team writing allows writers to recognize differences in style, tone, organization among different writers. Team writing forces writers to reflect on their own and others' strengths, weaknesses, and individual styles and processes of writing. Team writing demands analysis of rhetorical and stylistic choices.
  • FACTORS in SUCCESSFUL TEAM WRITING the degree to which goals are clearly articulated and shared the degree of openness and mutual respect among group members the degree of control writers have over the text the degree to which writers can respond to others who may modify the text the way credit (directly or indirectly) is given an agreed-upon procedure for responding to work in process and for revising/editing

  • Set deadlines for drafts; devote one whole team meeting to responses/revision of drafts. Develop, as a team, a series of questions for each reader to ask about other writers' drafts; decide, as a team, what you want to look for in each writer's draft Before distributing drafts to the team, each writer should provide a cover letter with the draft, explaining what she/he tried to accomplish, pointing out strengths/weaknesses, and asking readers specific questions about problem areas. Write back to each writer and be prepared to discuss your responses. Provide both positive and negative feedback to writers. Be descriptive, pointing to particular sections or sentences, providing suggestions for revision and explanations of those changes.
  • As the team projects progress, ask students to monitor their progress in writing, by submitting weekly minutes, for example.
  • PLANS FOR COMPLETION What tasks are left to do? How have you divided/assigned them? What do you still need to find? Do you have enough/too much material for your presentation? TEAM PROCESS Describe the way your team is working together. How have you organized the work? Division of tasks? Lead writer? Lead researcher? Lead presenter? Any problems in the team process?

Deadline #8- HW#1 -Part 2: Team Writing-Constructive conflict benefits - by Peter Vajda... - 0 views

  •  
    I think an important part of part 2 of Team Writing is constructive conflict. I thought this website was useful because it provided the reader with the benefits of constructive conflict. I have taking a course called Organizational Behavior and they also stress that constructive conflict is important in a team. I also think it goes well with the team project we are working on now.

    This site just gives us a deeper description of what a comprehensive is. Comps are the last part of the design process. This part of the process is what takes the most creativity and brings life to the project. Comps are very important in designs.

    This website is one that helps me understand Ford's Article the best. The article basically is talking about how everyone is looking to the internet for everything. That they are no longer reading books, magazines, watching basic TV because they can find everything on the internet. It also discusses how people are looking to apps on their phones for everything even if they have to pay some money to get it. Whatever helps just a little is good. It also talks a little but about customer service and how since people are turning to the internet and the web the creators need to make them feel part of it and not just a visitor. I picked this website AZ central .com because it has everything on her news, books, jobs, homes, etc. The other thing that I like about it is that it makes me feel a part of something. With all the information that it gives me I never feel like I'm missing something and I feel like I there in the action of everything. I think that this is important because I have somewhere where I can go to get all my information and I can feel like its there for me and not just there to be there.

  • Demographic information includes geographic area, age, income, race, gender and education level. It also includes shopping habits, marital status, number of children and other information about consumer characteristics.
  • Whether the demographics describe national or local markets or small groups such as those within an age range, the information helps you avoid the hit-and-miss marketing method.

D#6 HW#2 - Gestalt Principles - 0 views

  • Gestalt is also known as the "Law of Simplicity" or the "Law of Pragnanz" (the entire figure or configuration), which states that every stimulus is perceived in its most simple form.
  • Gestalt theorists followed the basic principle that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. In other words, the whole (a picture, a car) carried a different and altogether greater meaning than its individual components (paint, canvas, brush; or tire, paint, metal, respectively). In viewing the "whole," a cognitive process takes place – the mind makes a leap from comprehending the parts to realizing the whole,
  • 1. Figure/Ground
  • ...12 more annotations...
  • This principle shows our perceptual tendency to separate whole figures from their backgrounds based on one or more of a number of possible variables, such as contrast, color, size, etc.
  • Tips Clearly differentiate between figure and ground in order to focus attention and minimize perceptual confusion.
  • Camouflage Camouflage is the deliberate alteration of figure-ground so that the figure blends into the ground. 
  • 2.  Similarity
  • Gestalt theory states that things which share visual characteristics such as shape, size, color, texture, or value will be seen as belonging together in the viewer’s mind. 
  • 3.  Proximity
  • The Gestalt law of proximity states that "objects or shapes that are close to one another appear to form groups". Even if the shapes, sizes, and objects are radically different, they will appear as a group if they are close together.
  • 4.  Closure The satisfaction of a pattern encoded, as it were, into the brain, thus triggering recognition of the stimulus. This can involve the brain's provision of missing details thought to be a part of a potential pattern, or, once closure is achieved, the elimination of details unnecessary to establish a pattern match.
  • 5.  Good Continuation (Continuity)
  • This Gestalt law states that learners "tend to continue shapes beyond their ending points".
  • 6.  Symmetry or Order
  • If an object is asymmetrical, the viewer will waste time trying to find the problem instead of concentrating on the instruction.

D#6 HW#1.1: Harmony In Design Part 2: Repetition » SitePoint - 0 views

    • Alex Portela
       
      Repetition is a great technique that goes along well with balance. It helps create more visual effects to catch the eye. Here we learn that images and text need uniformity and repetition.
  • repetition
  • Design elements can be photographs, illustrations, type, headlines, backgrounds and textures (and anything else you might like to add to your design)
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • visual harmony is the agreement or balance between design elements.
  • Two or more identical, or near identical elements are not only an expression of visual agreement, but the repetition also helps to catch and draw the eye into your design.
  •  
    This was my favorite of the different sites that I found on the topic of repetition. I thought that this site very closely followed what the Basic's of Design taught on the subject. The site gave a background of what repetition is and why it is important. It also gave great examples of different forms of repetition such as; repetition of a image/icon, border, or decoration. It really helped me understand why repetition is such a key component in design!

  •  
    This website is a good, quick overview of certain parts of repetition in design. I like that they give picture examples to illustrate them.
  •  
    This web page caught my eye because it provided many examples of what repetition should be look like in different works .
  •  
    This is my favorite of the website I found that helped supplement my understanding for several reasons. I think the examples are great. Not only that it is very similar to the book in that it talks about repeating visual elements such as images, lines, even typefaces. The series of books are a perfect example because they show you can use repetition without being identical, as long as it is conceptual related. 
  •  
    I like this article because it gives visual examples of repetition used in books, movies, and ads. 
  •  
    This website has good examples of repetition and they explain it better when having an image. They have good images and good explanation.

      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.

  •  
    Not all of this website had to do with what we read about in Part 1. However, what I found important was that it mentioned the importance of a project manager.It also discussed that meetings were important and presented different ways of non-verbal communication with our team such as emails.

    Essential part of layout design. Truthfully I would have been one to overlook this. This is an appropriate article for me to make this an important step. Not feeling creative myself I need the muscle practice.

D#6, HW#2 - Harmony In Design Part 2: Repetition » SitePoint - 0 views

  • consistency and harmony
    • Daniel Throckmorton
       
      I think it should be added that it also helps guide the reader through the page.
  • silhouetted pigeon images are repeated on three lines down the cover
  • immediately a sense of harmony

  • repeat
  • That leaves room for individual illustrations for each cover, without losing the visual harmony that has been established through the series.
  • The orange and tan color scheme is repeated in the navigation and main drawing on the site
  •  
    This website gave graphical representations of repetition from different aspects of design.  I found the poster of the movie "The Ugly Truth" rather humorous.

      This ad is really cool however if people who did not know what Orange did, it would be confusing and not get much across. In my opinion this is an awesome design just doesn't get everything across that it needs to.

      The flow of this ad really comes through in the type of font that it was created in. The script makes it flow with the reader as they read the word efficiency

    Typography, the art of arranging type, type design and modifying type glyphs, is often considered as a major part of promotional material and marketing. If you use typography properly, you can not meaningfully convey the message, but also strengthen the brand of your company.
