Definately i would bring my wallet, it contains all of my personal info and finances. I would also bring my phone, for it is my main way of communication. I would also bring all my insurance papers, so i can get a new house.

Creative Thinking

Backgrounds can play a huge role in the way a picture is portrayed. Example, lets say a picture of me where my expression may seem indifferent but the background is  brewing storm, a symbol of my true attitude.

Also color, most emotions are associated with colors, like red is associated with passion (good or bad), green with envy, white is pure, black as evil or even the unknown. Colors are very useful when depicting an objects purpose in a photo.

The perspective from which the picture is taken can also set a tone for the emotions involved. I could take a picture of my neighbors house where you can see the entire house, but from the angle of lets say a squirrel, where I am looking up, it may seem more menacing.

Edward Tufte

I picked three design principles created by Edward Tufte, the first is

• The First Grand Principle: Enforce Wise Visual Comparisons., i.e., force answers to the question “Compared with What?”

This basically means make sure people know what you are comparing right of the bat. If they ask you a question, they are probally unable to read the graph.

• The Second Grand Principle: Show Causality. We are looking at information to understand mechanisms. Policy reasoning is about examining causality.

Make the information simple to read. Dont go crazy with to many lines and numbers and incriments, just keep it plain.

• The Thir Grand Principle: Completely Integrate Words, Numbers and Images. Don’t let the accidents of the modes of production break up the text, images and data. Just because the artists, technical writers and database people work in different buildings doesn’t mean reports should be disjoint with text, graphs and images in different boxes or on different pages.

Make sure that all the different forms of infromation come together and make sense! Make it organized and seamless.

 I gathered my informatino from http://www.uwm.edu/~david/tufte.html

My SAE Poster: Climate For Change

Waking Life

I think what made the pictures really move was the shadowing techniques they used. Everytime you move the lighting moves along with your body, and they used shadows to show the movements of the characters. This also can make movements smoother or rougher based on how they used the shadows.

I think they used vectored imaging on this film because it fits with the story line. The guy driving the car says, color outside of the lines. I think the point of the movie is to have people question themselves, make them realize how their actions affect the world. I think vectoring the image puts the viewer in a more creative and accepting state of mind that makes what most people would consider a film that’s forcing them to think a certain way to think in a way that one would consider more creatively.
