TWC 301 Chapter 5 alignment grid system web design

shared by Heather Groen on 08 Feb 12 - No Cached
  • Heather Groen on 08 Feb 12
     
    This website expands on the grid discussion in the textbook. It offers a template called the 960 grid system, which refers to the width of the viewport, which is the area in the browser in which the website is displayed. The height of the example template, the artboard, is three scrolls of the screen height. I found this interesting because according to the author, three is the average number of scrolls a user with an average amount of interest will scroll,

      This website is a great supplement, showing the intertwining relationship of balance to it's other design elements.
  • Our eyes are drawn by color.
  • Symmetrical balance is mirror image balance
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • Asymmetrical balance occurs when several smaller items on one side are balanced by a large item on the other side, or smaller items are placed further away from the center of the screen than larger items. One darker item may need to be balanced by several lighter items.
  • Smaller areas with interesting textures (variegated light and dark, or random
  • Visual balance works in much the same way. It can be affected not only by the size of objects, but also their value (ie. lightness or darkness, termed visual weight). 
  • Large flat areas without much detail can be balanced by smaller irregularly shaped objects
  • Value refers to the darkness or lightness of objects.
  • his is a very tricky type of asymmetrical balance that often ends up looking out of balance. 
  • The third type of balance is radial balance, where all elements radiate out from a center point in a circular fashion. It is very easy to maintain a focal point in radial balance, since all the elements lead your eye toward the center.

    This website is a good example of balance because is shows diverse variations of balances;(Symmetrical (Formal) Balance Asymmetrical (Informal) Balance Radial Balance ). Which gives the person reading a better understanding of the term balance .

    D#4, HW#1- I really enjoyed this website for many different reasons. Most importantly, I liked it because it told you more than just what balance is and how it is used. It described why this happens by the color being drawn in your eyes and gives examples about darkness/lightness in black and white. It shares information with the book and shoes other examples how your eyes are brought to specific areas on a page.

    I like this article because it clearly describes the difference between symmetrical and asymmetrical balance. It also discusses how colors, shapes, and textures can be used to create balance.

    This website explains the main concepts of balance. In showing the distinction between symmetrical and an asymmetrical layout, this website acts as a basic guide.Visual examples are shown for a better prospective,This is my favorite site out of the 3 bookmarked.

    This is the best out of the three that i found this week because it gives very good examples of formal and informal balance. It really helped me understand the design principle better. 
  • Merlyn Reyna on 30 Jan 12
     
    Visual weight is the illusion of a visual element on the page, work, etc.  The size, color and texture contribute to the weight.  This theory gives more of a balance design in terms of art.  Visual balance works by the size of objects and by their value.  Symmetrically balanced is where visual elements are mirrored and are symmetrical.  The don't have to be identical but they have to be similar in terms of number of objects.
  • Leslie Lopez on 30 Jan 12
     
    This website was very useful! It provided a description of not only two, but three different kinds of balance. I like that radial balance was the third kind that was briefly mentioned but it was not in our textbook.

    This website went over everything that was in this weeks reading and it was more in a condensed version on my opinion. Why i really liked this website than the other two i bookmarked, this one gave really good examples of the type of balance that was being discussed and also made it easier to understand.
  • gabrielle begay on 01 Feb 12
     
    Summary: This website goes over the principle of design for balance touching on the topic of symmetrical balance which is basically what ever is done one side of a design you do on the other side, copy cat. Then it goes on to tell about asymmetrical balance win color, value, shape, position, texture, and eye direction.
  • Nicole Schmitter on 28 Apr 12
     
    This site explains that when something is symmetrical is has formal balance and when it is asymmetrical it has informal balance. Balance can become either balanced or unbalanced by color, value, shape, position, texture, or eye direction.

    This website provides a concise explanation of emphasis and ways to use it effectively. It gives you three questions to ask yourself that were also stated in our text in order to identify which is the primary message of emphasis, which is the second, etc. I like that it provides examples of emphasis and by clicking on the image, they tell you what is emphasized in the picture and how the focal point is established.

    All three websites both describe rhetoric as a persuasive and effective form of speech. The use of rhetoric is when you want a favorable outcome in your favor. Through logos, pathos, and ethos rhetorical persuasion is possible. One website goes into more depth than the other two about what logos, pathos, and ethos is. Logos is the use of induction, pathos is creating an emotional link, and ethos is being viewed as trustworthy. This website explains how it is better to be open minded and create shared opinions, because then both sides can have something to agree on if they both have different views on the main topic. The Webster definition describes how this style of communication is ancient and dates back to the 14th century. Rhetoric can be performed with both speaking and writing persuasively. Free dictionary explains how rhetoric is more about the end result and not so much the process getting there.

shared by April Gallegos on 23 Jan 11 - Cached
  • There are virtual communities representing everything from intense one-on-one encounters, people interested in gardening, political and environmental lobbyists to political prisoners (Rosenberg, 2004, p.612). The uses are diverse but all virtual communities on some level provide an interactive forum for communication between its users. The level of communication is often directly related to 1: the needs of the users and 2: the specific purpose of the particular virtual community. Most virtual communities have at least one of three main purposes: either to network and collaborate, provide emotional support or to improve quality of life (Joinson, 2003, p.169)
    • April Gallegos
      April Gallegos on 23 Jan 11
       
      This is exactly what the article was saying about the different reasons people use virtual communities.
  • The term ‘virtual community’ was first cited as commonplace by Howard Rheingold, to define the online cultures of those engaging in computer-mediated communication (CMC), establishing “alternative planetary information networks�? (Rheingold quoted in Flew, 2005, p. 62). This was made possible due to the three interrelated components of CMC: the construction of social networks and social capital, the sharing of knowledge and information, and the facilitation of new forms of democratic participation in society (Flew, 2005, p. 62)

      The pictures have very good contrast with black, white, and red in one picture, and the white on the dark part of the shadows that says "Queen" in the other picture. All of them show good contrast in colors some more obvious than others.
  • Delaney Hensley on 08 Jun 11
     
    This magazine has a lot of really neat examples of contrast like the ones that were touched on in chapter three. There is a lot of black and white used in the pictures and light and dark shades. the titles of the names are in very contrasting colors such as red on black and white, or white on darker colors. This seems like a very cool magazine for artists and designers to look through.

      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.

      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.

    Contrast: CNN is centered and bold white against a red background, which makes it easy to read. Breaking and main news stories are in groups of three and set as the largest images at the top of the page. Bold white text against a black background makes the focal point pop. Repetition: Menu items are white against red background in smaller text under CNN. All links are blue, bullets red, titles bold large and black. Alignment: everything aligned to left for each grouping object. Proximity: News is categorized into different groups, i.e.) world, business, entertainment... etc.
