Week 12 Application

Examples of poor online main page (index) layout:

It is common to find news or magazine website main pages laid out in narrow vertical columns for sectional or contextual organization.

In print…

• High resolution—comparatively easy to read
• Pages are largely vertical in nature
• A person can see and visually take in a large area of content (on a gatefold or newspaper spread) at one time, so many items or department references in a layout are all visible at the same time
• Typically, the section/article index is not a primary area for content consumption
  Seldom any need to scan many contextually different sections at one time in one area

For online newspaper/magazine main pages…

• Low resolution—comparatively difficult to read
• The screen is largely horizontal in nature (because of and necessitating scrolling).
• Much of the page content is hidden below or above the visible screen area
• Main page content usually comprises a vast index of content, broken up into distinct and contextually different sections—but this index is a primary content consumption area

Examples of good online main page (index) layout:

• Symmetry is usually detrimental to content hierarchy
• Symmetry diminishes viewer interest
• Having 2 sidebars, one on either side, defeats the purpose of sidebar content
• It requires that site visitors first learn (and perhaps relearn from page to page) where to look for a particular sort of ancillary information or links
• Often results in far too much ancillary information on the page
• The particular sort of visual noise generated by the 2 bracketing sidebars diminishes, rather than enhances, user/reader focus on the main content

Week 11 Movement/Motion Application Exercise and 2

Eadweard Muybridge (American, born England, 1830-1904), each frame is a picture, we see this movement because the speed of each frame is very close and our brain is telling us that the body is moving.

Week 11 Movement/Motion Application Exercise parts 1

It can be fluid and show lots of motion when a slow shutter speed is used or it can arrest the motion via the means of a high shutter speed. One shows implied motion and the other freezes it. Each has its own virtues and required means of capturing the effect. Both make stunning images when properly handled.

Action photography can show lots of motion or do the opposite and completely freeze a moment in time.

Toontown and Google/Facebook

Disney's Toontown Online is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game created by The Walt Disney Company and billed as the first such game intended for kids and families. Designed for children as young as seven,the depth of the game's content has drawn in many older players as well. Toontown's 3D virtual world takes its theme from the colorful style and humor of classic animated cartoons, packaged into an online game experience that its authors claim is social and kid-safe. The game has an ESRB rating of E, for Cartoon Violence and Comic Mischief. The game introduce in the United States in 2003, but when in middle of 2005 nearly 10,000 people playing simultaneously during their busiest time. Then in May 2007, Towntoon online had nearly 1.2 million users. I think Toontwon is had a very clear stamen what do they want to target at.

Google's three-dimensional vistual world system Lively does not seek to be another Second Life. Gartner believes its primary purpose is to lure social network users away from Facebook and MySpace. I don't think this is working, because their don't real know who is the target is, because people are use Facebook and MySpace is share they life, but vistual world is another life from the realy life is different, this are two different target. when Google's want to do the 3D visual world that look like Facebook and MySpace is need to have a very creal who is the target is. Is the target same as the Facebook and MySpace or other more then that.

I choose the Return to Tiffany Round tag charm bracelet from Tiffanny.co. The main reason I choose this bracelet is because it have the simple shape and clear stature but also gorgeous. Tiffany designs were worn by such famous US families as the Astors, Huttons and the Morgans, Athletes, Hollywood stars, and even European royalty adored these diamonds. Museums valued the Tiffany designs, which ranged from the Art Nouveau period to Art Deco to today's modern styles. With this popular Tiffany motif, one is never lost. Round tag charm bracelet in sterling silver and 7.5" long, while looking at the bracelet I see many different ideas, at first I see this bracelet as a jeweler nothing but is part of the fashion, that reason I study fashion design after year and half I look back to it. I saw different future, what I like this bracelet so much not other is because of the graphic on the tag, I like how them use the text to created the space inside the tag, using san serif and serif, at that time I design what I am very want to do: a graphic designer. I see graphic not only is text use as newspaper or some kind of text book, it can be using it at another ways to show, like part of the bracelet. And this bracelet is so simple it can use it many different ways, it can use as regular day and even party, every time is having a new style.
