  We can know that layers usually show in the cover. But if we use layers to make a dairy note, what will happen?  http://xhslink.com/wDyUN   Making this kind of dairy note was really popular in China. Also, old fashion became popular these years. So, you can see that this elements are kind of old fashion. The leaves are transparency that we can see the background behind it. And the colors are similar, so it looks comfortable. In general, this layout are good although it looks irregular. http://xhslink.com/OjyUN   In this dairy note, we also can see the combination between layers and transparency. Actually, I think transparency is kind of layers. Because it something is transparency, you can see the thing behind it, and that is layers.    Look at the round one. In Chinese, we call it "火漆印章", maybe fire lacquer seal in English. It originally should appear in the cover of the envelop. But it doesn't look obtrusive here, it looks luxurious.   Layers is a ...

    Actually, I really love to study the fields of photography. And the main reason is that I want to know more about framing. In my daily life, every time I focus on the beautiful and fascinating things, I want to record them. But as you know, the real views are always more beautiful than the pictures. So, how to frame is an important thing to study. In the chapter, we can see lots of composition method. What I want to say is the camera frames and the frames inside of frames.      · First , the camera frames is a big field of framing. All pictures taken by camera need framing. A good composition can help a thing upgrade to a higher level. So, what should a good composition have? In my opinion, it needs color, light, a good aesthetic perspective and a good time. Just like what I used to say in my past Blog, I like color composition. It is an important element in a picture.      Actually, I like this photo's composition. If I didn't tell you, you m...

“Building on memory and experience, the brain fills in gaps and filters out extraneous data.” (99) What I'm interested in this chapter is the figure inside of figure. When I saw the figure inside of figure first, I'm really surprising about that. I thought that was amazing.  In this picture, the question is "what did you see at first sight in this picture? A dancing woman with dress, two people are kissing, or nothing." Right, it is the test for psychology. I always love to do such tests. Actually, the reason why I like this kind of picture is that it is not only just a picture, but also it is a tool that can help psychologists to get more information from others. For example, just talk about this picture, answering the question I said in the first sentence. And here is the result. If you choose two people are kissing, the result is that you are a persistent person and your six sense is not bad. If you choose a dancing woman with dress, the result is that you are a pe...

" Words like ‘gloomy’, ‘drab’, and ‘glittering’ each bring to mind a general climate of colors, a palette of relationships. ” (p. 81)   "Color" is a word that always attract me. I love to study the part of color matching. In my mind, color matching makes the world beautiful and vivid. This is the most important part in our daily life. All the things we use have a variety of different colors or color combinations.    " The muted neutral hues allow the forms to gently commingle, while contrasting hues and values break the elements apart. " (81) For me, I like to combine the analogous colors. Like this picture.   You can see this picture have lots of pair of paper. Each pair of paper's color are similar. Using the orange one on the right as an example. There are yellow, orange, white, brown. And it makes that picture more integrated.   And in this picture we can see the main color is bean paste Red with some analogous color: white, pink, and few black.   ...

  "Asymmetrical designs are generally more active than symmetrical ones, and designers achieve balance by placing contrast elements in counterpoint to each other, yielding compositions that allow the eye to wander while achieving an overall stability." ( Lupton/Phillips)   This picture was taken by me this afternoon. I've already said that I love to take pictures for the beautiful sky~ And after I took this picture, I realize that this is kind of symmetrical designs. The trees on both sides of the road form a symmetrical picture. (It also can be seen as the last chapter content, "Point, Line, Plane"😆)    But seeing this one. It has no symmetrical items. Actually I like this one most. The two street lamps, one car, and the red light on that car make this picture more active. And this composition is really good! I like the asymmetrical pictures. I think asymmetrical things are complex and beautiful. Just like the book said, asymmetrical things are more active tha...
