layers/transparency

  We can know that layers usually show in the cover. But if we use layers to make a dairy note, what will happen?

  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.

  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 work that aesthetic is really important. In each book or note, or even newspaper, covers are special. If you want to attract people, the cover plays a big role.

    I love playing with layers too. Layers can give you different aesthetic (e.g. vintage, dark, etc.)

    The collage is very beautiful! I used to be really into journaling like this as well and playing around with layering is really important in not only determining how you use the space but also in what images get emphasis.

    I love writing my dairy in this way, but I always do it on my iPad. Layers can make a big role to make the dairy look beautiful.

Framing

    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 maybe think that the background

Pixel and Grid

  “Grids function throughout society.” (p. 187)    Pixel art is interesting. There is a game named "Minecraft" which is made by pixel art. In our lives, we can see a lot of things made by pixels. Like the QR code. And when our website was bad, the pictures that we upload are very vague.  http://xhslink.com/fOfxP  http://xhslink.com/Z4exP In this two picture, the pixel Pikachu and Snoopy were painted by hand. And it used the grid to finish a round thing. In my opinion, all living creatures are composed of round things. But we can clearly see the square grid and we also can see the images. That's so funny! Using eyes as an example! We can see the facial expression on Pikachu's face. The right eye was painted by using four little grids and it looks like a round eye. The left eye was painted by using two grids and it looks like a closed eye. And the Snoopy's eyes are ellipse, so it used two vertical little grids.    http://xhslink.com/KldxP Those Disney Princesses are

Figure/Ground

“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
