Week 2 Response

I drew 36 pages this week. They are about the same character in different angles and colors. Unfortunately, the markers I bought at Amazon are still on the way, and some of them can't be painted.

I can't believe how inclusive the book is. It is inspiring. 

Here some I like. (pg. 69) (pg.86)


It summaries itself well: "From those elements, designers created images, icons, textures, diagrams, animations, and typographic system ... every complex design shown in the book results at some level from the interaction of points, lines, and planes." (pg. 2)

My notes.

Points, line, shape, and plane. 

Code, pattern, and curve.

Rhythm, repetition, rotation, balance, and change.

Symmetry and Asymmetry.

Layers and pacing.

Graceful entry and spinal orientation. 

Scale, relative scale, point of view, absence of scale, inflated scale.

Environmental typography, and texture. 

Topographic landscape and typographic landscape. 

Emphasis, opposite contrast, composition, tension, reduction, 

Conveying a mood.

Colors.

Abstraction, optical interplay.

Motions, time, path, 

Implied motions. 

Animations. 

I agree that "morden designers often seek to eliminate frames."(pg. 101) Because of this, a good creativity always spreads exponentially on various platforms. For example, transforming a popular song, I found a good example when sorting out the videos I collected.

The Global Village‘s Backside.

The Video The Instagram did hid the ad about Blurb from me. However, this is enough to prove that instagram and blurb share the data of consumers and users on both sides. As it literally meaning, it's hidden, it's gone on my ins, but that doesn't mean the leakage of my personal privacy has stopped. I always see the advertisements when shopping or searching on other websites. This reminds me of a word: big data. Big data can push you a lot of the same or similar things according to the keywords you search and read. Some apps even share data, so that you can see conditioner ads on other websites after you buy shampoo on one website. With the global popularity of the network, the network eliminates the time and space between people all over the world. Facebook, Messenger, instagram, zoom, wechat, all kings of emails... Even if you need to contact Party A on the other side of the world, you can still communicate quickly and conveniently through the network. Because of this conv...

Project 2 New Media Intermediate

"The birth of the reader must be at the cost of the death of the Author." （P148 | IMAGE - MUSIC - TEX） I want to agree. Readers take procession while reading. That comes the phrase “there are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's eyes“.  Everyone has different experiences in their situations, and the characters, emotions, and situations they can empathize with are also different. Even if similar situations are encountered, the degree and attitude may vary greatly due to personal and background reasons. Since the author is not writing for himself, he must accept this fact. In fact, a book that allows readers to interpret it differently is a good book. It can spark a lot of discussion. These discussions can lead to the regeneration and dissemination of this book in various ways. I don't have to worry about this issue when I think of my final project. I don't really want to show it to others, the content is very personal. For me, what I see in meaningful photos i...

IMAGE & INTENTION: A MESSAGE WITHOUT A CODE

   I selected this photo when I was organizing my photos. It doesn't have textual message. SO,  it is doubtless necessary to go back to partially illiterate societies, to a sort of pictographic state of the image. Image Illustration: ➡️ Symbolic message: an old garden. (A lot of plants in pots, wild cats, and concrete ground). An old garden with mice. ➡️ Connoted message: The garden was highly possibile built in the 1950s, and it is located in an area most likely in southern China. The manager of the garden was most likely elderly. The largest plant, it is called sago palm whose academic name is Cycas Revoluta . It is wildly planted in southern China, or in southern Japan, the Philippines and Indonesia.  Sago palm's HISTORY BACKGROUND : During China's economic difficulties (1958-1962), when there was a famine in many places, farmers in the area where the sorrel originated dug up the roots of the tree to remove the toxic ingredients and then made starch fo...
