This website explains the differences between formal and informal reports, gives good rules of thumb and explains how to organize each type of report.
-
I chose this article because I thought it might help for project 3 and for my future business life. -
In this PDF file you will find a great source for all information there is to writing a formal report. It has these dandy graphs that illustrates the differences there are to formal reports and proposals. It also gives links to outside resources in finding more help with writing a formal report. -
A formal report, as opposed to an informal one, is usually meant for an external audience. The readers will be someone in another company or organization. A formal report is often longer and requires more extensive research. A formal report can also contain a proposal. This text mentions the four R's of planning: reason, receiver, restrictions, and research. The first step is to consider the reason for writing the report. Another thing to consider is which restrictions are needed. For example, is there a strict deadline for the report? Am I able to make graphs/charts or find appropriate images? Next, decide on research. Is the subject too broad or too narrow? This is where brainstorming can help. Finally, determine how to carry out research. What will my sources be? How easily can I access them? The text offers organization suggestions and provides examples of the set up. -
This is a good article that tells you how to find distinctions when writing an informal and formal report. Also, it give you guidelines on how to write a proposal that proceeds within our project. These article provides examples which are very helpful and easy to follow through. -
Comprehensive information on formal reports and all that they should contain.

I like this article because it explains the principle of alignment very well. It uses web design examples and points out why alignment works in each example.
-
Alignment creates unification and definition in a design. It creates natural borders in a page. This website gives good examples of that idea.

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. -
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.
-
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 page shows illustrations and art to show good examples of balance. Symmetrical (formal) balance and asymmetrical balance are discussed. -
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.

I thought this was the best of my three because not only did it list the different ways we can use contrast but then it provided examples. Of all the sites I looked at this one had the most extensive use of contrast (aside from just color or size) -
short page describing what contrast is and what it does as it pertains to design. gives a list of common ways for creating contrast: * size * value * color * type * texture * shape *alignment *direction *movement also gives examples of the effective use of contrast
-
This site describes that contrast occurs when two related elements are different. It talks about contrast in art is very important because it captures the person looking at it and makes it interesting. There are many different uses of contrast and this site shows different pictures.

This is a great site to reference because there are real videos to check out as examples. The first one includes links to other short videos that are a part of this persons video resume.

-
-
In today’s highly competitive job market, creating the right video resume to accompany your traditional CV can make you stand out from the crowd. The wrong one, though, can make you a laughing stock.
-
1. Make Sure It’s Appropriate
-
3. Keep it Short
-
2. Don’t Just Read Out Your Resume
-
5. Make Sure It Passes the Share Test
-
4. Don’t Be Afraid to Be Creative
-
Don’t just create a video resume because you can, create one because it’s relevant to the job you want to do.If you’re applying for a role in the online, media, social or creative professions, then it’s more likely a decent video resume will have the desired effect, i.e., getting you invited for an interview.
Don’t send a video resume to a more traditional type of company that won’t “get it.” You might do your chances more harm than good.
Graeme Anthony, from the example above, is a public relations executive. His cleverly thought out online content adds an extra wow factor to his already outstanding experience.
2. Don’t Just Read Out Your Resume
The whole point of a video presentation is to offer a potential employer greater insight into you than a traditional resume can, so
just reading aloud the contents of your CV is a waste of everyone’s time.Use the video to help the employer get a sense of not just what you have achieved, but what you are capable of achieving in the future.
“Tell them why you would be the right person to hire and what you can do for them,” says Mario Gedicke, account manager at Mayomann.com, a video employment platform.
You can, however, highlight particularly relevant info from your resume. “Focus on your experience and skill set (and possible education/training) especially relevant to the position,” advises Tyler Redford, CEO of resumebook.tv, an online resume management system.
And if it’s appropriate and relevant to the job (as in the example above), then don’t be afraid to talk about your passions.
3. Keep it Short
“Keep your video resume short,” says Gedicke, who advises that a
one-minute mark is ideal. Redford agrees that a video resume should be “short and sweet.” He suggests staying within two minutes.“Keep in mind that recruiters would likely want to use the video resume as an initial filter for applicants,” Redford says. “However, recruiters do not typically want to use the video resume in lieu of a real, in-person interview.”
Think of your video resume as your own personal teaser trailer. In the example above, the clip is less than one minute and 20 seconds in length, while the extra time is made up of a
bloopers reel accompanied with credits, a clever way to show off your personality (and that you don’t take yourself too seriously).
4. Don’t Be Afraid to Be Creative
If you’re opting for a video resume, then go the whole hog and make it spectacular. Be creative, whether that’s with the concept of your pitch, use of humor, clever production values or brilliant editing.
However, stay classy. “
Be creative, but professional. Do not deviate too much from the demeanor you would have in the workplace ,” says Redford. Gedicke suggests this should extend to your wardrobe too: “Dress professionally, just as if you are going to an in-person interview.”In the video above, James Corne creates a spoof AA-style confession, but maintains a certain veneer and dresses like he was headed to the office. This demonstrates creativity and humor whilst showing him to be a professional person.
5. Make Sure It Passes the Share Test
As with all online life, don’t put content out there that you wouldn’t be prepared to see go viral. It’s unlikely your video resume will become an overnight Internet sensation, but imagining that scenario is a good test to make sure you could cope if it did.
Imagine your friends and family watching the clip. If the thought of that embarrasses you, then don’t submit it.
