Student Ideas - Caitlin Barber

From childhood, I have had a passion for creativity and artistic expression. I started playing with Photoshop at my dad's advertising firm by the time I was in elementary school and was always sure to pack my class schedule with a variety of art classes. By high school, I knew I had a love for graphic design and spent much of my time learning the Adobe Creative Suite and playing with blog/website layouts and graphics. Upon graduating, I moved from my small town in Colorado to attend Full Sail University. I am currently working on an associates degree in graphic design and plan on combining it with my passion for people and communication to pursue a career I will truly love every minute of.

Collaboration: Brazilian Currency Design

Vitorio Benedetti
This project turned to be one of the greatest experiences of
team work I have ever been on. From the start, although the
group members had established individual tasks and goals,
the design was done in such a collaborative way that we are
not able to distinguish where the ideas or even the graphic
expression came from. Group project with Marcelo Damm;
mentoring by professor João de Souza Leite.

About me:

I believe in poetry, I believe that there's beauty in every corner, and in everything. Beauty is indeed in the eye
of the beholder and it is up to us, everyone to design the world we want to live in.

People don't need products or services. People need music and laughter and a warm harm from a fellow human.
Let us design ways that these are never scarce. I don't believe in borders or papers stating identities. Identity
comes from people's hearts. And no technology will ever change this.

My main ambition in design is to spread the human centered approach, applying practice and research,
developing projects that interesting and meaningful for the public.

Specialties:

graphic expertise in complex data visualization, graphic user interfaces (from user studies to pixel pushing
- desktop and mobile); multicultural and also multidisciplinary team work abilities; Human-centered design.

User Experience - UX

by Dirk Knemeyer and Eric Svoboda
"User Experience", often abbreviated "UX", is the quality of experience a person has when interacting with a specific design.
Originally used in reference to human-computer interactions – and still largely associated with those disciplines – the term is now used to refer to any specific human-design interaction, ranging from a digital device, to a sales process, to an entire conference. Perhaps due to its organic development and lack of formalization, "User Experience" may be defined by, and the responsibility of, very different departments from organization to organization: in some organizations, it is owned by marketing; in others, it falls under information technology (IT). Then, from a solutions perspective, some organizations base their "User Experiences" around the research and academic-based approaches of human-computer interaction (HCI); others treat interface and/or product design as the source for "User Experience," while still others let marketing or IT drive it.

Want to learn more about User Experience?

Being an emergent discipline, User Experience does not yet have a strong, formal body of knowledge. Formal books that include the term in their title often cover only subgroups of user experience. Here are some online resources to get you started:

www.uxnet.org - local and cross-disciplinary resources on UX

www.informationdesign.org - despite its label, the pre-eminent daily UX resource

www.functioningform.com - a consistently strong resource on the UX design process

www.nathan.com/resources/index.html - an enormous collection of UX- related resources

Designing Interactions is a book and a DVD as well as this website.

You can browse by chapter as well as by interview. When you choose an interview, a small version of the segment from the DVD plays. You can also download (free) the chapter of the week together with the relevant interview segments from the DVD.

In the Book Bill Moggridge introduces us to 40 influential designers who have shaped our interaction with technology. The introduction and final chapter combine to describe the approach to designing interactions that has evolved at IDEO. The 800 page book is illustrated with 700 color images. With the book is a DVD of 37 interviews, intercut with examples of interactions.

Student Ideas - Tyson Junkers

I have always been able to come up with creative ideas, but never knew what to do with them. A few years ago I got my hands on a copy of Photoshop and my ideas came to life. Since then, I have been creating designs every day. Most of them end up in the trash, but the only way you'll ever know if somethings good or bad is by trying. I am now a Digital Arts & Design Student at Full Sail University. So far, I have learned more than I could have ever expected. I can no longer pick up a pen without designing a concept for something, which is why I plan on being a designer the rest of my life; it's in everything I do.

The Daily Script

Welcome to the Daily Script, a collection of movie scripts and screenplays to serve as a resource for writers and actors and those who simply enjoy reading movie scripts. The movie scripts are presented in proper script format (for the most part) and where possible, multiple drafts are presented. A movie script will be featured daily, (hence the name Daily Script). If the daily script doesn't pique your interest, check out the SCRIPTS section for a selection of other movie scripts.

FADE IN ON:

CYBERSPACE

We have a sense of cyberspace-travel as we hurtle through a
sky that's just beginning to get light. There are a few
stars but they fade and the sky turns a milky blue and a big
computer sun starts to rise.

We continue hurtling through space and see that we're heading
over a computer version of the New York City skyline. We
move over Central Park. It's fall and the leaves are
glorious reds and yellows.

We reach the West Side of Manhattan and move swiftly down
Broadway with its stores and gyms and movies theatres and
turn onto a street in the West 80s.

Hold in front of a New York brownstone.

At the bottom of the screen a small rectangle appears and the
words:

ADDING ART

As the rectangle starts to fill with color, we see a percentage
increase from 0% to 100%. When it hits 100% the image pops and
we are in real life.

Goethe Theory of Colours

Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Goethe is considered by many to be the most important writer in the German language and one of the most important thinkers in Western culture as well. Early in his career, however, he wondered whether painting might not be his true vocation; late in his life, he expressed the expectation that he would ultimately be remembered above all for his work on colour.

Searchology event

More Search Options and other updates from our Searchology event

5/12/2009 12:15:00 PM

Today we are hosting our second Searchology event, to update our users, partners, and customers on the progress we have made in search and tell them about new features. Our first Searchology was two years ago, when we were excited to launch Universal Search, a feature that blended results of different types (web pages, images, videos, books, etc.) on the results page. Since then Universal Search has grown quite a bit, adding new types of results, expanding to new countries, and triggering on ten times as many queries as it did when we launched it.

But as people get more sophisticated at search they are coming to us to solve more complex problems. To stay on top of this, we have spent a lot of time looking at how we can better understand the wide range of information that's on the web and quickly connect people to just the nuggets they need at that moment. We want to help our users find more useful information, and do more useful things with it.

Our first announcement today is a new set of features that we call Search Options, which are a collection of tools that let you slice and dice your results and generate different views to find what you need faster and easier. Search Options helps solve a problem that can be vexing: what query should I ask? Read more...

Student Ideas - Orion Orbes

My name is Orion Orbes, I'm 21. I was born and raised in Cancun, Mexico. I moved to Northwest Florida in 2003, then moved to Orlando in April of 2008. I've been going to Full Sail for Digital Arts & Design since January 2009. I've been drawing since I was 5 years old. I come from an artsy family, often drawing inspiration from my uncle's paintings and my father's detailed pencil drawings. I want a career in graphic design and illustration because of the creativity involved and I like bringing ideas to life. I drew this as part of a project called "more", which involves illustrating a a positive statement with the word more. Live more, Love more, Be more, etc. With this piece I illustrated a monster mouth with it's teeth in the shape of the words "SHOUT MORE". The meaning is self-explanatory. People often keep their negative emotions inside when in fact we should keep those emotions out. This piece is a reminder that we can shout more whenever we want, and relieve ourselves from negative attitudes.
Some of my favorite artists include Jeremy Fish, Earl Funk, Jason Stephan and Bansky.

The Saatchi Gallery

The Saatchi Gallery aims to provide an innovative forum for contemporary art, presenting work by largely unseen young artists or by international artists whose work has been rarely or never exhibited in the UK.

The audience for exhibitions of contemporary art has increased widely during the last ten years as general awareness and interest in contemporary art has developed both in Britain and abroad.

When The Saatchi Gallery first opened over twenty years ago it was only those who had a dedicated interest in contemporary art who sought out the gallery to see work by new artists. The audience, however, built steadily over the years and by the time the gallery left its second home at County Hall, visitor numbers reached 600,000 per annum, with over 1,000 schools organising student visits.

The Saatchi Gallery has worked with media sponsors on a number of shows including The Observer, The Sunday Times, Evening Standard, The Independent on Sunday and Time Out.

Many artists showing at The Saatchi Gallery are unknown when first exhibited, not only to the general public but also to the commercial art world. Many of these artists are subsequently offered shows by galleries and museums internationally. In this effect, the gallery also operates as a springboard for young artists to launch their careers.

How Agnès Varda “Invented” the New Wave

http://www.youtube.com
BY GINETTE VINCENDEAU
In September 1997, I saw Agnès Varda introduce a brand-new 35 mm print of her first feature film, La Pointe Courte (made in 1954), to an admiring audience at Yale University. More astonishing than the luminous black-and-white images was Varda’s claim that she had seen virtually no other films before making it (after racking her brain, she could come up with only Citizen Kane). Whether Varda’s assertion was true or the whim of an artist who does not wish to acknowledge any influence, La Pointe Courte is a stunningly beautiful and accomplished first film. It has also, deservedly, achieved a cult status in film history as, in the words of historian Georges Sadoul, “truly the first film of the nouvelle vague.”

Thanks to historians of that movement, and especially to Sandy Flitterman-Lewis’s study of Varda in her book To Desire Differently, Varda’s role as a pioneer—if not the “mother” or “grandmother”—of the new wave is now better known, and not just for the fact that she was the only woman director in it.
