    Good website it gives some uses that are fair uses like in news reporting, research and scholarship, nonprofit educational uses and parody. It also has 5 rules of when is a use a fair use.

    This website is very helpful and lists uses that are generally considered to be fair use. These uses include: criticism/comment, news reporting, research/scholarship, non-profit organizations, and parody. In addition to these, there are rules listed to deem if a use if legally "fair use".

      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.
    • Delaney Hensley
      Delaney Hensley on 08 Jun 11
       
      Different lines and textures convey different ideas and feelings.
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • 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.

      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.

  • Skill in using language effectively and persuasively.

      rhetoric is a developed skill to persuade and influence effectively.
  • Principles of training communicators. It may entail the study of principles and rules of composition formulated by critics of ancient times, and it can also involve the study of writing or speaking as a means of communication or persuasion. Classical rhetoric probably developed along with democracy in Syracuse (Sicily) in the 5th century BC, when dispossessed landowners argued claims before their fellow citizens. Shrewd speakers sought help from teachers of oratory, called rhetors. This use of language was of interest to philosophers such as Plato and Aristotle because the oratorical arguments called into question the relationships among language, truth, and morality. The Romans recognized separate aspects of the process of composing speeches, a compartmentalization that grew more pronounced with time. Renaissance scholars and poets studied rhetoric closely, and it was a central concern of humanism. In all times and places where rhetoric has been significant, listening and reading and speaking and writing have been the critical skills necessary for effective communication.

  • The distinction between fair use and infringement may be unclear and not easily defined. There is no specific number of words, lines, or notes that may safely be taken without permission.
  • Acknowledging the source of the copyrighted material does not substitute for obtaining permission.
  • The safest course is always to get permission from the copyright owner before using copyrighted material. The Copyright Office cannot give this permission.

  • When it is impracticable to obtain permission, use of copyrighted material should be avoided unless the doctrine of fair use would clearly apply to the situation.

    This showcases the four different elements that the federal government has indicated legally make up the idea or concept of fair use of material. Knowing these rules is especially important for students in this ever growing informational age to assure that they are properly representing work.

    It's ironic that the "distinction between fair use and infringement may be unclear and not easily defined" but you have to make sure if you use something that you haven't obtained permission for that the "doctrine of fair use [must] CLEARLY apply."

    I liked this webpage because it went more in depth about Fair Use. It presented the four factors that can be used to determine where or not the use of the copyrighted material is fair.

    This website showed various examples of balance in actual web pages. It showed the not only symmetrical and assymetrical balance but also vertical, horizontal, radial, and bileteral symmetry. The author, Stephanie Hamilton, explained how a "rule of thirds" should be used when designing an image. This is when an image is imagined as divided into nine equal parts by two equally-spaced horizontal lines and two equally spaced vertical lines. This is so important compositional elements are placed along these lines or intercections.

  • 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
