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.

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.

Those Disney Princesses are also made by pixel. 


It's true that grid function throughout society. All things in our lives have the element of grid, like the keyboard I use now. And we can know that the pixels and grids are used together usually. And they have a kind of hazy beauty. (Just like I see the whole world when I forgot to wear my glasses. 🤪)

    These are all so cute and fun! Pixel art may look simple but it's highly complex and requires a lot of planning to ensure the right shapes are made.

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...

Diagram

  “Diagrams allow us to see relationships that would not come forward in a straight list of numbers or a verbal description.” (p. 215)   The Diagram usually shown as a chart. And when I think about the chart, something appears in my mind is cubic function, which is the function that can make a heart.  It's interesting for couples to use this to say love, right? I'm also really interested at the chart trends by using maps. It is a really useful and interesting way to draw a website trend. It is true that I prefer to read diagram than a paper of reading. Thinking another way, if that website trends chart was printed by a whole page of reading, do you want to read it? And the baby books were always designed by using beautiful and interesting pictures and colorful words. We can know that It's a good way to attract babies. As we know that adults can concentrate their attention longer than children. So, this design has effect. Link:  https://www.tumblr.com/blog/xiyue-zhang...
