Thinking of How Memory Works: I have a very selective memory

I can memorize full names from sight, even with unique or complicated spellings. In my mind the spelling is barely separable from the name itself, so jaden, jaadyn, etc. are basically separate names to me.

This doesn´t always translate to regular words though (I almost spelled ¨regular¨, ¨reglar¨ for example. There have been times when I was very tired that I would end up writing ¨ove¨ instead of ¨of¨)

I once reminded my mom what the maiden name of her childhood best friend was because I saw it on the backs of old photographs

I used to have my library card number memorized. I can learn how to memorize strings of numbers by their ¨rhythm¨. Kind of like when you hear a familiar song and your brain has to finish what comes next.

If I don´t quite have a number memorized, I can try and figure it out by the pattern. To give a non-number example, ¨ferret¨ is symmetrical to me, like a mirror image. There are two ¨r¨s in the middle, an ¨e¨ to either end, and a long letter capping either side. For another example, (with the numbers changed of course, but keeping the pattern), my own phone number: 271-888-7811. 2 is a non-repeated number, but 7 and 1 are. Of course the middle is just three 8s which is easy, but for the last four digits it almost repeats 71 but instead takes an 8 from the middle after the 7 and repeats the last number twice. The first three numbers are the hardest for me to learn because my old phone number had a different but similar area code, 723 lets say, so my brain keeps trying to flip the first two numbers.

I hate rote memorizing things and I am not very good at on-the-spot recall. Once I was in a play, besides rehearsals I did not try memorizing my lines. So when it was performance time, I barely remembered anything about my lines, it was all blank. However, they would come to me through context clues. How much time had passed, where I was standing, what people were saying. The same would happen in choir, where before performance, I would doubt whether I remembered my lines, but as soon as the music played it was as if it possessed me. (I remember watching The Music Never Stopped, and there are real life examples too, where even people with amnesia can gain back memories through listening to music)

I learned that I have object permanence issues. If, for some reason, a roommate took a dirty dish of mine that they saw and washed it and put it away, I might not be able to find or recognize it out of context unless it is very distinctive looking. This may also contribute to who I tend to prefer distinctive looking people (alt styles, people with distinct features, etc.).

Once while riding in a van to a field trip, I found out that the person I was sitting next to was not only my classmate for the last two quarters, but was in my first class when I started college. They gushed about me, and how thoughtful I was in class. As far as I knew, I was basically in a van full of strangers. I didn´t know any of their names or have any association with seeing them before.

However, I don´t have face-blindness, I can actually be excellent in pattern recognition. I have recognized classmates from high school totally out of context: Once 8 years later while cashiering and the person was wearing a mask, they didn´t even recognize me; once in a Starbucks in a big city out of context of the small town I met them at; once in a grocery store, the person had totally transed their gender since I last saw them, grew facial hair an everything. I totally won this real life ¨where´s Waldo?¨ without even trying.

There have been times in middle school where I would consistently get 100% on my science homework even though I didn´t finish my homework or completely recognize the material on the quiz, it would be a surprise every time. I just needed to be exposed to the topic´s ideas just enough to reason it out.

My memory often feels like a void that pulls things out when I need them, the more connections I have to the subject the better. I often need to understand knowledge in order to use it

I am not very good with procedural knowledge. One of the reasons I can only tie my shoes the ¨bunny ears¨ way, even though I have been shown the other way multiple times throughout my life. I don´t really learn recipes, but I can learn how ingredients are supposed to fit together, I can improvise a cookie like or soup like thing or cook noodles in different ways (like in a microwave using V8 as water), or figure out substitutions (living with a mother with allergies is what I can thank for that).

Sometimes I easily forget what I did earlier in a day, or yesterday, or what my last meal was. I notice that the degree to which I remember a day doesn´t totally correspond to how much happened but how much I processed it. I am a fairly slow processor so a leisurely paced day might be more vivid to me. Or if a lot of things happened I may need time to reflect to remember it.

For example, I could spend a month abroad, but as soon as I come back I start losing memories because they are not applicable to every day life. But over time I could remember it in some ways more than I did when I first came back if things happen in my life that reminds me of it (having a professor who does research in Borneo, a classmate that knows some Indonesian, etc.)

Sometimes I notice changes, but I don´t remember what they looked like before. Like I can recognize if someone got a haircut, but my memory instantly updated so I actually don´t remember what the old hair cut looked like. Same if a room changed (furnature, walls painted, etc.).

I have a poor sense of smell, so descriptions I have heard before about smells triggering memories doesn´t resonate very well with me. The strongest examples are the smell of baked potatoes reminding me of an old friend and cigarette smoke reminds me of hugging my dad.

My sense of direction is again more of an instinctive process of cues than a deliberate process. So sometimes I have a very poor sense of direction, like not remembering where my classes are after a whole quarter. Or I may know how to get somewhere, but I don´t know how I know. This works better in forests than in streets, where the cues and orientation are more unconscious, and I end up finding out where I am through wandering and process of elimination as I make connections of where things are in relation to each other.

Ergo, my memory is very relational, and relies on pattern recognition and understanding underlying processes. For example, I remember more the personalities of people or characters than what they actually look like. In my mind they are more of a ¨presence¨ than an actual physically person at times. When I was a kid, I drew my best friend with red hair not because she had red hair but because that was her favorite color, so in my mind that ¨was¨ her. When she changed her favorite color, I felt like I didn´t know her anymore.

My mind doesn´t make a strong distinguishment between my memories and other people´s. If friends or family tell me memories from before I met them, it is almost like I was actually there and knew them at that point in time. A passing trans man told me memories of his family and childhood, over time there was a preteen to teenage girl´s presence in my head that created her face and voice who would talk to me. I didn´t want that association, but I had an overlap of two images for the same person, one not even being a version of them that I met. In some ways, I feel like I almost learn more from other people´s experiences than my own (ex. stories about teenage drinking would discourage me from teen drinking or even having the curiosity to try, I tend to make mistakes other people have not accounted for because I don´t have a frame of reference to know ¨why not?¨ if no one i know has experienced it)

I used to recognize family members by their footsteps, breath, and even their cough without even seeing them.

At least twice I have predicted things friends would say, like once I somehow already prepared a conversation the year before of how to respond if my guy friend asked ¨what it is like to have breasts?¨, because he seemed like the kind of person who would ask something weird like that. Another time I wrote a whole story about a high school friend using a tree to crawl into my bedroom window, and later the first thing she mentioned visiting my room is that they could climb that tree to get to the second story

I have often remembered very oddly specific details of how I met a close friend. Once example being that years before I met a middle school best friend, I looked at a list of students and noticed there was one person in my grade that I never met and who never came in, and I asked the teacher why (her parents taught them mostly at home even though she were enrolled into the alternative school).

Reflection (A Short Horror Story)

Hey all! I've got another short horror story for you all, this one is in my opinion one of the best I've written, so let me know what you think!

Have you ever taken time to look at yourself in the mirror? I don’t mean to glance at the mirror to fix up your hair or to shave while looking in the mirror. What I’m asking is if you’ve ever really looked at yourself in the mirror, examined your features, the pores in your skin, the colours in your eyes.

I find that there is something so ethereal about mirrors, something brilliant that everybody takes for granted. I also find that there is something unsettling about them, and from what I’ve read online, other people experience this feeling too. Maybe it’s that the image is reversed and that’s why it doesn’t look quite right, or it could be that the mind becomes confused when it sees itself.

In my case, the reason I find mirrors unsettling is not any of the guesses I have made thus far. I am unsettled by mirrors because of an experience I had as a child, an experience that has never repeated itself, but that scarred me nonetheless.

I was around nine years old at the time, and I was living with my Mum and Dad, my younger brother wasn’t born yet for another two years after this event so I was an only child. We’d only recently moved into a new house and even after a couple of months were still working on unpacking our things.

My Dad came into my room one day, a little before lunchtime and placed a couple of boxes on the ground, he told me that this was the last of my possessions and told me that I should unpack them. I told him I would and once he’d left my room I got to work on unpacking my things.

The majority of the contents of the boxes were the ordinary things any nine-year-old would own, toys and children's books, the latter of which I put on my shelf with little regard for organisation and the first I spent more time playing with than I did unpacking the boxes.

After a long while I had nearly finished unpacking the boxes, I reached into the box and felt the last object that I needed to pack away. It felt cold to the touch like it had just been removed from a freezer, and I couldn’t imagine what it might be, as it didn’t feel like any of my toys, and it certainly wasn’t a book.

I pulled the object out of the box and to my surprise, what I held in my hands was a handheld mirror. It looked old, I’d go so far as to say Victorian-era old, but despite the apparent age, it was clean, not a speck of dust could be found on the thing. 

The handle and outer rim were made out of a bluish-white metal and had beautiful, swirling patterns engraved into it that I couldn’t take my eyes off of. I looked into the mirror at my reflection, at first I noticed nothing out of the ordinary, but after looking at it for a few seconds I had a feeling that something was terribly wrong with what I was seeing in the mirror, although I couldn’t quite put my finger on it.

Feeling freaked out, I put the mirror away. For some reason I didn’t want to leave the mirror where my parents might find it, I was worried that they might tell me that the mirror wasn’t for me, and take it away. I didn’t want them to take the mirror. Not one bit, so I hid the mirror underneath my mattress.

After I hid the mirror I mostly forgot that it was there for at least a few weeks. One night, however, I woke up in the middle of the night after I had a nightmare, I don’t remember the exact context of the nightmare, but I remember that it had something to do with my reflection.

Instead of crying and running to my Mum and Dad’s room like I usually would at that age after having a nightmare, I found myself digging around under my mattress and pulling out the strange mirror I had found weeks earlier.

The mirror was still cold to the touch, and although I felt the patterns I’d been so entranced by previously engraved into it, I could not see them in the dark. That’s what I found most strange about it, although I could barely see my hands in front of me in the darkness, when I looked into the mirror the room was illuminated perfectly. Strangely this did not strike me as odd, it made sense in my mind that the mirror would show me my reflection, not caring whether or not there was light.

As I stared into the mirror, I felt that same feeling I had when I first looked into it, that something was terribly wrong, this time however, I did not put the mirror away. I wanted to keep looking, to try and figure out what was wrong with the reflection in the mirror. I moved my head from side to side, examining every object in my room through the reflection shown in the mirror, and it was as I did so that I realised why the mirror had unsettled me so much.

Mirrors reverse the image that is shown in them, if you were to look into one and move your head left to right it would show you moving it right to left, because it isn’t showing what is in front of you, it’s showing what is behind you. But as I moved my head left to right, the mirror too, moved left to right. 

As this realisation dawned on me my mouth opened in surprise, but instead of doing what it was supposed to and open its mouth, the reflection in the mirror smiled at me. It smiled at me.

The reflection in the mirror was smiling at me, and it was not a kind smile, it was the most cruel smile I have ever laid eye upon. The smiling face in the mirror that resembled me continued to widen until it was at an impossible length. The face began to warp as the smile stretched and wrapped itself around the reflection.

I could have screamed, but I didn’t feel the need to. What was going on in front of me had the same normality in my mind as the room in the reflection being lit up. I knew it was wrong, I knew I should have been terrified, I’m even terrified recalling it now. Despite this, I did not scream, I did not put down the mirror, and I didn’t throw it across the room and run to my mother and father. 

I sat there as the face in the mirror continued to warp. I sat there as the once cold metal began to glow red hot and burn my hand. I sat there throughout the night, in more pain than I’ve ever felt as the mirror burnt my hand. I sat there as my parents screamed at me to snap out of whatever daze I was in and tried to pry the thing from my hands to no avail as I sat there with a death grip around it and a need to stay there and to observe the reflection. It was only when my father took a baseball bat and smashed the horrid thing to pieces that I dropped it.

The mirror lay there on the ground as my parents tried to tend to my hand, ultimately to no avail, the mirror had burnt it to the point that it would never be usable again, it had to be amputated. 

I sat there, dazed and in pain, and I smiled.

Layered Face Rigging In Blender Live shape keys in geometry nodes

Live blendshapes in Maya or morph targets in Max have been a common rigging practice for long time. Live updates on shape targets allows riggers to create more complex and flexible rigs by layering rigs. It means you can rig each shape target independently and combine them as one facial rig on main face mesh, all without needing complex setup typically required when working on a single mesh. 

Unfortunately blender shape keys doesn’t support live update from source shape targets. It only stores 3d coordinates of each shape key inside the main object. But with the recent geometry nodes feature, we can now add different meshes as live sources and create rig layers.

Basic Setup

We’ll try to create 3 layer face rig. On the original mesh, we will control general areas of face and go into details on second mesh and have lattice on third one. You can find tutorial files here. See gif below to get the idea.

Geometry Nodes

We add a geometry node modifier to main mesh from modifiers tab then create first layer as shown below image.

It’s a simple graph, we get vertex positions of second mesh from ‘Object Info’ node and set to original mesh. See the result gif below.

We repeat same steps for second layer for getting its vertex positions. Then we use ‘Mix Color’ node to add those two source mesh vertex positions together. But there is one caveat, since we add both positions together, main mesh will be twice as big. To prevent this we subtract original mesh vertex positions at the end. So we only receive changed positions from source meshes. Check graph below.

Second layer result well be as in the gif below.

Done! We successfully added 2 layers to our face rig. Some of you may see a pattern here. Instead of creating and connecting all those nodes for each layer, we can make it modular by grouping layer nodes. See gif below.

After grouping layer nodes, we can expose the object input so we can easily assign layer meshes from group node.

Now its ready for chaining. We replace first layer nodes with the group by cloning our first group and assign firt source mesh. Then we connect each layer starting from original mesh. See gif below.

Almost perfect, see results below.

As bonus we can also add blending factor for changing influence each layer. To do this we simply expose ‘factor’ from add and subtract nodes.

That’s it. Hope you find this useful for your rigging projects. You can find tutorial files here.

HOW TO MAKE THE MOST OF 2D DRAFTING IN VECTORWORKS FUNDAMENTALS

HOW TO MAKE THE MOST OF 2D DRAFTING IN VECTORWORKS FUNDAMENTALS

Traditionally, 2D drafting has been the most common way for creators to design. But, in the past couple decades, 3D modeling has become more and more effective. To get more news about 2d drafting, you can visit shine news official website.

So, it begs the question: What's better — 2D drafting or 3D modeling? Luckily, Vectorworks’ hybrid drawing environment means you never have to choose, and you can design without limits! You can seamlessly toggle between 2D and 3D views, meaning you can freely create 2D documentation and expressive 3D models in the same software. KEEPING YOUR DRAWINGS IN ORDER Fundamentals’ versatile design layers help you draw to scale on a wide-open canvas, accommodating projects large and small. Design layers enable you to keep various design options or multiple iterations of a design well organized. MAKE YOUR BEST DRAWINGS You’ll be able to impress clients and consultants with top-quality graphic attributes in Fundamentals. And when creating your next design, consider starting in the attributes palette. Here, setting and adjusting line weights, fill types and colors, object opacities, drop shadows, and more can be done with ease. If you want to keep these attributes consistent throughout your file automatically, you can use classes. Classes let you assign attributes to similarly classed items.

You can also seamlessly add external media like PDFs, DWGs, and other image files to your designs. The files can be used as background materials or even offer additional detail and information to consultants. After you have your geometry sketched out and your design layers organized, you can start adding greater detail to your 2D plans by adding resources. Resources in Fundamentals consist of many kinds of reusable, repeated objects such as symbols, hatches, tile patterns, and even annotation items like title blocks or drawing labels. By being able to repeatedly use the same symbols, your design process will become more personal and efficient.

You can use existing resources, or you can modify them to suit your needs. You can also build your own resources from scratch to meet the specific demands of a project.

TAKE YOUR DESIGNS EVEN FURTHER While we’ve mainly focused on creating stunning 2D drawings in this post, it’s worth mentioning once again that you can effortly switch between 2D drawings and 3D models, letting you ideate, express, and take your designs even further. Simply put, you may not be getting the most out of your 2D drafts if you're not also exploring your designs in 3D. Commands and features like, Extrude, Deform, Offset Edge, Push/Pull and more will allow you to sculpt and articulate your geometry in seconds. And, if you get overwhelmed in a 3D view, don't worry! You can simply toggle back to your 2D view and Vectorworks will inteligently show you the geometry you need to see!

Fundamentals hosts a suite of versatile 3D modeling options for you to use, such as solid modeling, meshes, NURBS, and subdivision modeling. There's no need to go back and forth between other software, all of your modeling can take place in Fundamentals.

And as you grow more and more comfortable exploring 3D modeling, you can start to lighten your 2D workload with 2D components for hybrid objects. Watch the video below to learn more about fully integrating 2D and 3D workflows:

30 Times People Warned The World About Something But No One Listened

There have been many instances in our history where someone warned us about something, but we didn't listen at all. It seems that before almost any major event, a doctor, scientist, or politician already knew the outcome, but was simply ignored. It seems to be a repeating pattern, so the question this Redditor asked sparked a lot of interest from internet users.

Many people use reading comics as a coping mechanism for the extremely stressful world we live in. With that being said, we're rather confident that "Cheddar Bacon Studios" will brighten your day.Jared, the artist behind the comics, has been previously featured on Bored Panda and you can find more of his comics by clicking here!More info: Facebook | Instagram cheddarbaconstudios ReportJust like last time, Bored Panda reached out to Jared with some new questions! First, we asked the artist if he has any upcoming series of works we should be looking forward to."I have several ideas for a series that I will (hopefully!) begin developing shortly. I would LOVE to try my hand at animation or cartoons. I have so many stories to tell of my family growing up that I believe many people would find, well, unbelievable. While comics are a fun way to tell these stories, I feel that the only justifiable way to share these humorous events is through animation with narration. Something along the lines of Jaiden Animations or Ice Cream Sandwich on YouTube." cheddarbaconstudios Report cheddarbaconstudios ReportWe also wanted to know if the artist had a comic he was proud of, and we thought it was only fair if he'd share his thoughts with us!"My favorite comic that I have made and that I am most proud of is my 'Dentists' comic. We've all been to the dentist, and they tend to be a little rough when it comes to flossing our mouths. Even I, a dedicated flosser, come away from the dentist with some sore gums afterward. But for those who do not floss, it can sometimes be a literal bloodbath! Of course, the more we floss our teeth, the less likely it is we will bleed! But it's still fun to think that some dentists are simply out for blood." cheddarbaconstudios Report cheddarbaconstudios ReportArtists go through a few art phases trying to find the art style they could call their own, one of the things that can help with that is expanding beyond your comfort zone, as stated by Jared himself."I would love to develop my skills as an artist in general. The brushes I use for my comics are fairly basic, so I would like to expand my expertise and incorporate brushes and techniques that yield more detailed comics. There are some truly talented comic artists out there, such as Zipfreeman, who can craft beautiful watercolor comics. One of my favorite comics that uses watercolor brushes is my 'Lord of the Rings' comic. I love the way that one turned out!" cheddarbaconstudios Report cheddarbaconstudios ReportStarting out with comics (or art in general) isn't easy, so we asked the artist if he had any tips to share."My advice for other comic creators is that they should take the extra time to improve their comics as much as possible. Too often we look at our creations and think, 'good enough' and post them without giving them a second thought. Sometimes I will finish a comic and want to post it right away, but I take a step back, maybe even sleep on it, and come back to the comic with a fresh mindset to see how I feel about the comic. Sometimes it's good to go! But other times I will find a mistake, or I rewrite the comic to help it flow better. Just take that extra time and make it the best comic that it can be." cheddarbaconstudios Report cheddarbaconstudios ReportWhen we look at a piece of art, what happens is that we usually perceive some sort of emotion, whether it's positive or negative is entirely up to us, but in the end, the artist still has achieved a certain goal - a reaction. We asked Jared to share with us what he'd like for people to take away when looking at his comics."The main idea that I would like my audience to take away from my comics is that life can be very difficult, but we can always look on the bright side even when times are hard. It's imperative that we look back on those trying times and laugh at them or learn from them. Like a baby having an accident on your face, or a dog, well, also having an accident on your face! It's terrible at the moment, but now you have such a funny story to share with family and friends. It can be challenging to have this mindset, but if we can find a way to focus on the positive aspects of our lives, then we will be much happier in the end." cheddarbaconstudios Report cheddarbaconstudios ReportFor some people, art is not only a hobby, but something way more, and it seems that Jared certainly has his own goals he wants (or hopes) to accomplish when it comes to his comics."My goal is to make a career out of making comics and animations. Drawing has always been a passion of mine, but it can be tough to put food on the table while being an artist. I currently work full-time in a job that is manageable and I enjoy it, but it is not my ideal career path. On top of this, I am going to school to receive my master's degree in humanities, and I am a reservist in the United States Army, so finding free time to draw comics can be difficult. I would love to get to the point where I can support my family with my creations while also being able to provide my audience with more comics and animations." cheddarbaconstudios Report cheddarbaconstudios ReportMost creators tend to receive some type of comments about their work pretty much every day, but sometimes some of them stand out more so than others."One of my favorite comments is from an older comic of mine, which shows what it feels like to be tested for Covid. In the comic, the medical personnel administering the Covid test gets a little too carried away with how deep he pushes the cotton swab into a person's nose to the point where his whole hand is up in there. Someone commented, 'Can confirm, felt like the worker was trying change my mind manually.' Comments like these come once in a blue moon and I'm always jealous of a comment that is funnier than the comic itself." cheddarbaconstudios Report cheddarbaconstudios ReportLastly, we were curious to find out if Jared had any other hobbies besides making art!"One of the new hobbies that I have been getting into lately is board games! I always knew about the standard board games like Monopoly or Life, but once I was introduced to Settlers of Catan I became obsessed! I bought expansion after expansion and would bring them with me to family gatherings and force everyone to play. I eventually expanded beyond Catan and started researching other board games that fit my interests to the point where we have an entire wall dedicated to board games. Some of my favorites include King of Tokyo, Forbidden Island (or Desert), and Here to Slay, just to name a few. If you come over to my house, be prepared to play a few board games.;) I've made it a personal goal to one day work with a team of board game creators to illustrate and design a new board game that I would enjoy playing with my family." cheddarbaconstudios Report cheddarbaconstudios Report cheddarbaconstudios Report cheddarbaconstudios Report cheddarbaconstudios Report cheddarbaconstudios Report cheddarbaconstudios ReportAdd New Image Add Your Photo To This ListPlease use high-res photos without watermarksUpload PhotoNot your original work?

Layout and Composition

line/ proximity /eye movement/ geometry/ perspective/space/ contrast/ colour/ hierarchy/ repetition

Proximity = the nearness in space, time or relationship

What is related to each other should be sitting near to each other.

Grouped in chunks, easy to follow, easy to digest, easy to understand.Once you understand one, you can understand the others.Placing them in a certain distance, it dived how the eye moves around the work.

Micheal Markiewicz - a designer to have a further look at for his work.

How grids can help us piece information together. We need to understand what information needs to sit together.

Space = breathing space, negative space

Helps us isolate information, guides our line of vision. how we can arrange this information so it is easy to read. Helps to guide our eyes. White space is your friend.

*Ask yourself, why does a certain design look goo? Analysis it so you can learn from it and bring it into your own work*

Two restrained colours - relating to the context of the publication

Lo Siento. Design Museum of Barcelona

Contrast = the state of being strikingly different from something else in juxtaposition or close association.

Large typefaces that are contrasting with smaller text, difference between the two. Typesize contrast. Can create playfulness and tension. Contrast in scale.

Beside magazine as an example. How these concept's can make the work look tighter.

Contrast between typefaces, serif vs sans serif, display with body.

Creates horizontal breaks, geometric pattern.

Hierarchy = which information do you want the reader to see first, what you want them to decode first.

What is happening, when is it happening, where is happening, who is coming. Formating, paragraph styles, text sizes, typography (display to body font).

Repetition = the action of repeating something that has already been said or written.

Name, what they do, when they are speaking, bio about them.

Repeat with objects, scale, type, colour, contrast of colour and scale. how can I make this functional, make it easier for people to understand.

*Erika Choi* - look at her fold brochure

contrast in colour but also a refined colour scheme

No lost opportunities.

It is important to show designers in the industry to show how good you are at working with type, to be able to make something functional, legible and to make it easier for people to read and understand. Create work that become opportunities, not lost opportunities.

Paragraph styles:

The use of paragraph style is one of the core functionality that will save you time, guarantees consistency.

Shift + return = will take it to the next line without paragraph rule applied

Nigel french = graphic designer who has good tutorials on Linkden learning, composition, layout, typography

Shift + Tab = push characters to the right eg the prices

Paragraph styles used to stylise- coloured type and change typography

We moved on to creating grids within Indesign. We moved a table of text from word into Indesign. We then altered this and applied it to a table. We edited the table, changing the stroke, fixing errors, and learning how to adjust the table to do what we are wanting to achieve.

All about patterns

Whether chic and elegant or wild and punk rock, animal skin prints are seemingly always on-trend. In fact, it’s almost as if our affinity toward them is in our collective DNA. Animal skins and hides were used around the world to clothe people for hundreds of years out of necessity. Some cultures even believed the skin gave the hunter the power of the animal. Think cheetah for speed. Eventually, humans began primarily using fiber to clothe themselves. Yet we are still drawn to the beauty of animal patterns.

Animal Skin patterns

Animal print is a clothing and fashion style in which the garment is made to resemble the pattern of the skin and fur, feathers or scales of animals such as a leopard, zebra, giraffe, tiger or cow. Animal print is also used for room decoration, handbags and footwear and even some jewelry.[1] A major difference between animal prints and fur clothing is that animal prints today very often use fake fur instead of animal coat.

Pattern images

Natural patterns and textures will add a natural look and feel to your design pattern. All of this, while also maintaining the beauty of your creativity. The primary goal of using patterns and texture to infuse organic life to your design is to create a warm, welcoming, and attention-grabbing look. Patterns create a glossy attraction that can attract the attention of your viewers. Besides describing the physical surface of an object, patterns and textures often create a certain feel, which often draws the physical and mental attention of the viewers toward the design.

print and patterns

You don’t need just colors and images to create compelling backgrounds. You can use patterns and textures, too. The goal of using patterns and textures as backgrounds is not to replace images or colors but to improve designs by adding a great look and feel to an already existing model. Fine print and dark patterns are certainly ways of making the work work — of getting people to do the thing you’d like them to do.

But it also creates frustration, it creates problems, it hurts people; it’s not work that anyone deserves.

us on the other hand relies less on fine print or dark patterns, and instead prides itself in its ability to retain customers through a high quality of service.

we makes the work work all the same, and the people they want to engage people happily engage when they come back and buy shoes.

There is a lot of ways to make the work work, the question is: do you want to make things better or worse for others in the process?

Pattern and print

Adding a bold pattern or print into your look is the easiest way to show that you’ve put real thought into your outfit. A pattern is any repeated design, whereas a print is a design that has been printed onto fabric, rather than woven or embroidered. The words are often used interchangeably to talk about any non-solid-color clothing. Some of the most popular patterns and prints include:

1. Gingham is a fabric made from dyed cotton yarn woven into a checkered pattern, usually white and one other color. 2. Stripes come in all different styles, from pinstripes (very narrow vertical stripes that often appear on dark-colored suits) to the classic French marinière T-shirt with its distinctive blue and white horizontal stripes. 3. Animal prints mimic the stripes, spots, and scales of wild animals. Snake, zebra, and leopard prints make a bold statement, but there are ways to incorporate them subtly. 4. Plaid, also known as tartan, is a woven fabric traditionally made from wool that is now a common pattern for flannel shirts. Multicolor plaid features repeating vertical and horizontal stripes of varying thicknesses. 5. Floral patterns feature flowers of all kinds. Floral prints can be tiny (aka ditsy) or large and detailed. They can be multicolor or monochrome. They are fun patterns to work with since they offer so much variety. 6. Polka-dots are a pattern of repeating circles of the same size. They can be big or small; smaller dots tend to look more neutral, while larger dots make more of a statement.

Formal Analysis

For my formal analysis, I chose a painting done by Eric Drooker. His work was frequently featured on the covers of The New Yorker’s magazines. This one was specifically was featured on March 25, 1995. The topic of the work deals with themes of pollution and industrialization; using a contemporary art work style.

We can start off by looking at the shape of the building in the background and notice how the buildings that are sharp and squared are smaller, whereas the buildings with rounder more soft edges have smoke coming out of them. The smoke coming out of the tall buildings are shaped like a tornado and have a squiggly organic form, although it does not appear welcoming at all, especially with the colour choice. The yellow and orange sky give a more worrying anxious feeling, especially when the tornadoes are complementary to the sky. Drooker also uses principles of design in this work. The character rowing in the boat, is coloured red and its size is it significantly smaller in contrast to the rest of the drawing. As you take the character in your eyes move directly above the character, to the tall industrial buildings all the way to the top of them where you see movement from the squiggly lines of the tornado. The repeated buildings create pattern and a sense of unity, and completeness, and when comparing the main character with these buildings, the differences in proportionality is quite significant. Drooker uses variety in his paintings to keep his viewers attention and let their eyes move from object to object. With the man in the boat, to the tall buildings, tornadoes and back down again, to take in smaller details like the objects floating around the lake, the viewer is easily able to decipher meaning from the art.

The shapes of the round buildings can be seen as how companies that seem good and nice can possibly just be a façade, a cover for what they actually do to the world. Maybe they are the problem. They may seem good on the outside but are ugly on the inside. And vice versa with the smaller, more rough-edged buildings. The buildings taller buildings are in the background, but they definitely have more power which proves my statement from before to be true. They demonstrate power. They have so much power they can release so many harmful things into our world. At the bottom is a river that looks like it is not supposed to be there and the smaller buildings are more at risk than the bigger buildings. The water is also filled with junk, a broken television, a dead fish bone, a glass bottle, and a 6-pack yoke. These objects signify it is highly polluted water, as there is a literal bone of a dead fish, but also 3 of the four items don’t belong in the waters. The character rowing in the boat doesn’t seem like he’s supposed to the there. The boat he rows is also shaped like a moon, which reminds me of the Dreamworks boy, who sits on the moon and fishes for stars I suppose. I like to theorize that he had to come down from his usual spot in outer space because the tornadoes and pollution were something he couldn’t put up with anymore and it ruined his home, so he had to come down and live where the air wasn’t as polluted. Eric Drooker also worked for Dreamworks Animation later on in his life, so I suspect maybe my theory isn’t as far-fetched as it seems.

Unity And Variety : A principle that aesthetic value or beauty in art depends on the fusion of various elements into an organic whole that produces a single impression.

 Balance:

Balance in Art refers to the use of artistic elements such as line, texture, color, and form in the creation of artworks in a way that renders visual stability. 

 Emphasis and subordination

Subordination is used to describe the secondary or accent elements of the artwork. While artists emphasize the focal point, they can also de-emphasize the other elements to ensure the main subject stands out.

 Directional Forces

Directional movement is any visual movement in an art work created by a line or by the alignment of shapes or color or value contrast. The classic is the triangle on which artists depend for giving both balance and dynamics to their work.

Repetition and rhythm:To create rhythm in art, artists also use repetition and pattern. Repetition is when an object, shape, form, color, or pattern is repeated over and over again to create a rhythm. It helps unify an artwork.

Scale and Proportion:The difference between scale and proportion in art is that proportion refers to the relation between parts of a whole, and scale refers to the size of figures or objects in a composition.

2. This recipe for Boy's Wading includes- Asymmetrical balance, Implied lines, emphasis on the Boys wading, Rhythm in the water, neutral colors/ earth tones, Geometric shapes in the background, and unity. 

3. I moved to Central America for 10 years. The hue that would signify the genesis of our journey was an ambitious Purple hue. The value was dark and the intensity was Red: Excitement, energy, passion, love, desire. This came from leaving a life of a Yellow hue and an intensity of the Green color of harmony, balance, and security. Being a new experience the saturation was and is strong. Coming back to the States the process has begun again. Starting with Purple.

This is a portrait captured by: Lee Jeffries. This particular portrait was of a homeless gentleman whose name was not stated. I am a proponent of looking someone in the eyes when communicating. The eyes tell the story of a life lived, secrets, joy, love, and loss. This gentleman's eyes tell me that he is compassionate, humble, and filled with joy regardless of his circumstance. I study his gaze and see my life of serving the homeless and the reward of just calling them friends. I lock eyes to let them know how valuable they are to me and they are worth my full attention.

7 Inspiring Packaging Design Trends in 2021

When it comes to selling your products, the packaging is quite important. This is because consumers judge a product’s quality by looking at its packaging. They are more inclined to purchase a product if the packaging design makes a positive first impression on them. As a result, the purpose of a product label isn’t merely to provide basic details and legal information. There’s a lot more to it! It aids consumers in making purchasing decisions.

Businesses rely heavily on packaging design to leave a lasting impression on customers about their product’s quality. Even though customers’ loyalty to a brand is mostly influenced by its utility and quality, they are first captivated by the packaging design of a product.

This leads us to the significance of packaging design as well as current design trends. Packaging design trends, like other trends, are continuously changing, and we should be informed of what colors, forms, symbols, lines, and other elements are now in use. As a creative designer, you want to be able to express yourself. Trends, on the other hand, provide you an idea of what is currently popular in the business and which design elements will be valuable to incorporate into your packaging.

Here are 7 Inspirational Packaging Design Trends For 2021

Simple, Clear And Bold 

Packaging designers have emphasized the need of producing simple and clear designs that customers can grasp right away. Such simple designs are effective in communicating a brand message to a target audience.

The designers recognize that a packaging design with minimum elements will elevate the product. In today’s fast-paced world, shoppers don’t have much time. So, with the help of an appealing packaging design that people view initially while choosing a product, you just have a few seconds to leave an impression on their minds. A simple design will undoubtedly communicate a clear brand message.

Splashing Colors

Another rapidly emerging trend in packaging design is the use of vibrant colors. We all know that colors elicit emotions and influence shopping decisions to some extent. Colors have been used in unusual ways by packaging designers recently. To make the packaging appealing to buyers, they are using bright colors with lively tones.

Colors are frequently used by designers to differentiate between product versions. Customers may quickly identify a certain variety of a product without having to look through the entire range.

Creating a Narrative

Colors and elements should not be used sparingly in packaging design. Instead, it should tell a story or convey a message about the brand so that people can easily identify with it. Graphic designers have begun to include pictures into narratives for this reason.

Some designers utilize artwork as a narrative tool to tell a brand’s story. The image is content-rich and provides a taste of lost stories to the customer.

Custom Lettering

Designers turned out to use custom lettering in 2021 to convey a sense of warmth and raw vitality. Uneven lines and natural texture are common features of custom lettering.

This form of one-of-a-kind lettering makes a product stand out while also bucking the trend of employing digital graphics. Because hand lettering evokes a sense of wholesomeness and a homemade product, it evokes a sense of nostalgia. We anticipate that the hand-lettering trend will continue to be popular in label design for a long time.

Repetition 

In the creation of stunning graphic designs, repetition has its own role. This pattern can be found in a variety of designs from the past and present. Repetition of gorgeous patterns has become fashionable in commercial packaging design. The objective of repeating a visual pattern is to create a strong brand message. 

As a result, depending on the personality of the brand, designers develop bold or fun patterns to build a powerful brand identity.

Eccentric Shapes 

Although such a packaging design may appear harsh, it is a new trend that is attracting people’s attention. These kinds of designs make the goods stand out loud and clear. All you have to do now is add your company’s logo. Customers will immediately learn about the brand and the products it sells.

Pastel Colors

Calming colors have already made a reappearance in 2021. The new trend is famine and peaceful package design, which implies pastel colors will make a comeback. Soft hues create a sense of neutrality and are the polar opposite of bright and dramatic colors.

Designers of packaging have continued to use strong and brilliant colors thus far. They now aim to stand out by using a pale color scheme on the product package. This also contributes to the product’s warm and honest atmosphere. A design like this might send a message of friendliness to potential clients.

So, these were the most important packaging design trends to watch in 2021. Many of these trends have been around for a while and are still going strong. Keep looking out for such brands who have incorporated these packaging trends.

Consider the Best Uses for Glass Ready Cabinet Doors

The addition of Glass Ready Cabinet Doors to any kitchen design is a welcome one. Glass doors not only break up the monotony of solid cabinet faces, but they also provide both aesthetic and practical value. Let's look at several glass-front door applications to see how you might combine them into your kitchen's layout and decor.

Glass paned cabinet doors have recently been more of a fad in kitchen design than a standard. Among the many advantages of glass-front cabinets are: • Allowing for splashes of color and seasonal décor to be exhibited behind glass-front cabinets to help make tiny areas feel larger • Adding reflected interest to the entire design by utilizing available light.

Ultimately, depending on what's within, glass cabinet doors provide both utilitarian and aesthetic appeal. Glass-front cabinets are a great alternative to entirely exposed shelves since they keep your valuables safe and secure.

Textures for Kitchen Cabinet Doors with Popular Glass Fronts

While shaker cabinet doors with glass come in a number of textures, while working with customers on their kitchen renovation product selections, we've found three distinct trends.

Glass Panel Cabinet Doors have one little flaw: you can see straight through them. So, if you're going to put them in cabinets to hold beautiful dishes or seasonal décor, they're fantastic. Clear glass, on the other hand, may terrify some homes since, while there is storage, there are less places to hide a jumble of household objects. Reeded textured glass panels are a smart choice in situations like these. They have all of the advantages of glass doors but are less expensive.

This design is characterized by vertical lines that repeat in a regular rhythm. Keep that in mind as you examine how it will blend in with the other textures and patterns you want to use in your kitchen. If your backsplash or flooring, for example, have a directional design, you might want to try the following trend on our list.

Another common alternative is cabinet door panels made of water glass. They feature a more complicated, non-linear pattern that looks well in both modern and classic kitchens. This design, however, is significantly more translucent than the reeded variant, so bear that in mind when determining what to put behind them.

If you have a more complicated pattern on your floors, countertops, or backsplash, you might prefer the more basic texture of water glass. A streamlined contemporary kitchen, on the other hand, can benefit from the vitality that water glass designs can bring. Consider glass-door appliances to suit your new kitchen's glass-front cabinets, such as this built-in wine cooler:

Clear glass is a tried-and-true classic that most renovation homeowners choose. The glass cabinet doors can be seen in farmhouse, classic, transitional, and even modern kitchens. With transparent glass, the emphasis is on showcasing what's inside as well as the willingness to keep them clean so they're not obscured by smudges and fingerprints.
