    This is a good website of how repetition is used.  Even though it is not clearly in the book, it focuses more on repetition in photography by emphasize and break-it.  Emphasize repetition can give impression of size and large numbers of elements in one picture.  Broken repetition can include contrast object or a focal point between the repetition objects in a picture.

    This is just a timeline of the inventors of photography, and I think it's relevant because if you look - everything is so spread apart. It took YEARS to do, and now with our computer technology, the iPhone comes out with a new model every 6 months!! New editions of cameras and computers are released regularly!

    I chose to browse through this website because of my interest in photography. What kept me scrolling through this page was the intensity of photo shop tricks they were explaining. I would have never thought there was that much to adding contrast to pictures! I will definitely use some of these tips in the future.

      The most important part I felt was the three appeals to the audience.
  • Rhetoric is the art of using language to communicate effectively
    • Evan Richardson

      This definition hits all the points
  • Public relations, lobbying, law, marketing, professional and technical writing, and advertising are modern professions that employ rhetorical practitioners
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Theorists generally agree that a significant reason for the revival of the study of rhetoric was the renewed importance of language and persuasion in the increasingly mediated environment of the 20th century (see Linguistic turn) and through the 21st century, with the media focus on the wide variations and analyses of political rhetoric and its consequences. The rise of advertising and of mass media such as photography, telegraphy, radio, and film brought rhetoric more prominently into people's lives. Reflecting this, more recently the term rhetoric has been applied to media forms other than verbal language, e.g. Visual rhetoric. The goal is to analyze how non-verbal communication persuades. For example, a soft drink advertisement showing an image of young people drinking and laughing is making the case that the consumer, by using the product, will be healthy and happy.

      In all honesty this course has introduced very unfamiliar terms. This site give a cited explanation of the definitions. A good example of hypermediacy was given through Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho how we see Norman's acts then Hitchcock puts us through Norman's eyes and its a question of how we react to that emotionally and mentally as viewers.
  • Remediation is the process whereby computer graphics, virtual reality, and the WWW define themselves by borrowing from and refashioning media such as painting, photography, television, and film. It is the anxiety of influence acted out in the poetics of technology
  • Immediacy is the perfection, or erasure, of the gap between signifier and signified, such that a representation is perceived to be the thing itself.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Hypermediacy is a "style of visual representation whose goal is to remind the viewer of the medium" (Bolter and Grusin 272). Hypermediacy plays upon the desire for immediacy and transparent immediacy, making us hyper-conscious of our act of seeing (or gazing).
  • Mediation is the representation of an object, a formative interface whereby the object of contemplation is structured and presented by some intervening medium (my definition). In this sense, it refers to the symbolic act itself and thus would include writing.

  • New media rely on digital technologies, allowing for previously separate media to converge. Media convergence is defined as a phenomenon of new media and this can be explained as a digital media.“
  • he most prominent example of media convergence is the Internet, whereby the technology for video and audio streaming is rapidly evolving. The term convergence is disputed, with critics such as Lev Manovich pointing out that the 'old' medium of film could be seen as the convergence of written text (titles and credits), photography, animation and audio recording
  • New Media has become a significant element in everyday life. It allows people to communicate, bank, shop and entertain. The global network of the Internet, for instance, connects people and information via computers.[3] In this way the Internet, as a communication medium of New Media, overcomes the gap between people from different countries, permitting them to exchange opinions and information. Diverse means for this exist even within the context of the Internet, including chat rooms, Instant Messaging applications, forums, email messaging, online video and audio streaming and downloads, and voice-over-internet telecommunications. New Media is defined not only as a communication tool, but also as a tool for the commercial exchange of goods and services.[

  • transition to new media has seen a handful of powerful transnational telecommunications corporations who own the majority achieve a level of global influence which was hitherto unimaginable.
  • new media follows the logic of the postindustrial or globalised society whereby 'every citizen can construct her own custom lifestyle and select her idology from a large number of choices. Rather than pushing the same objects to a mass audience, marketing now tries to target each individual separately.'
  • "virtual communities" are being established online and transcend geographical boundaries, eliminating social restrictions. Rheingold (2000) describes these globalised societies as self-defined networks, which resemble what we do in real life. "People in vi
  • rtual communities use words on screens to exchange pleasantries and argue, engage in intellectual discourse, conduct commerce, make plans, brainstorm, gossip, feud, fall in love, create a little high art and a lot of idle talk"
  • New Media has been used extensively by social movements to educate, organize, share cultural products of movements, communicate, coalition build, and more.
  • New media can be defined not only as things you can see such as graphics, moving images, shapes, texts, and such. It is also things that cannot be seen, such as a Wi-Fi connection. Like radio or electricity, no one can see the Wi-Fi waves in the air floating through the air. But the Wi-Fi concept can be considered new media. So new media can be either concept-based, refer to a solid object, or both.
  • Any individual with the appropriate technology can now produce his or her online media and include images, text, and sound about whatever he or she chooses. [27] So the new media with technology convergence shifts the model of mass communication, and radically shapes the ways we interact and communicate with one another.
  • even some forms of digitized and converged media are not in fact interactive at all
  • "the global interactive games industry is large and growing, and is at the forefront of many of the most significant innovations in new media" (Flew 2005: 101). Interactivity is prominent in these online computer games such as World of Warcraft and The Sims. These games, developments of "new media", allow for users to establish relationships and experience a sense of belonging, despite temporal and spatial boundaries. These games can be used as an escape or to act out a desired life. Will Wright, creator of The Sims, "is fascinated by the way gamers have become so attached to his invention-with some even living their lives through it" [30]. New media have created virtual realities that are becoming mere extensions of the world we live in.
  • The advertising industry has capitalized on the proliferation of new media with large agencies running multi-million dollar interactive advertising subsidiaries. In a number of cases advertising agencies have also set up new divisions to study new media. Public relations firms are taking advantage of the opportunities in new media through interactive PR practices.
  • New media can be seen to be a convergence between the history of two separate technologies: media and computing.
  • new media can now be defined as "graphics, moving images, sounds, shapes, spaces, and texts that have become computable; that is, they comprise simply another set of computer data.
  • Flew (2002) stated that as a result of the evolution of new media technologies, globalisation occurs. Globalisation is generally stated as "more than expansion of activities beyond the boundaries of particular nation states".[6] Globalisation shortens the distance between people all over the world by the electronic communication (Carely 1992 in Flew 2002) and Cairncross (1998) expresses this great development as the "death of distance". New media "radically break the connection between physical place and social place, making physical location much less significant for our social relationships" (Croteau and Hoynes 2003: 311).

  • Victoria Burch on 26 Feb 11
     
    This is the best article I've found for this topic. It discusses new media in relation to Manovich's article AND actually interrelates Flew's virtual communities article too! I thought that was pretty cool. It also gives examples of what new media is, and how it is affecting our communities through globalization and social change

      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

      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.

    This website is more about art and paintings, but is a very good example of emphasis and focal points. The page gives good examples on how to create a focal point from focal area, color dominance, value contrasts, visual movement, difference, and shape. 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.
