Weekly summary 
This week we had an amazing opportunity to visit a beautiful container home this week. We were able to learn about how these container homes work and how they feel when you are inside. It was also a great example of modern design done in a colorful but also cozy way. I really enjoyed this field trip!
We also learned about emphasis and contrast in our lecture. 
Emphasis:
  • the purposeful development of focal dominant characteristics within a space
  • establishes a hierarchy within the space 
  • emphases can also create an element of story within a space 
  • it creates a feeling of drama, personality, and balance
Types of emphasis 
  • color
  • texture 
  • lighting
  • furniture
  • views 
  • architectural details 
Contrast 
  • cohesiveness is important, but too much of the same thing can create a flat and monotones space
  • contrast adds the balance needed to bring a design concept to completion
  • contrast can be achieved by pacing two or more elements within opposing characteristics together 
  • it can use color, shape, size, material, texture, or style 
Details 
  • attention to detail is the last principle 
  • details are like the icing on the cake
  • they make a space feel interesting and personal 
  • Details are important to make a space feel finished

    Beth,

    I really enjoyed your blog post and the way you listed the characteristics/key takeaways of each topic. I also really appreciated the fact that you incorporated your render and other additional projects. I think this further enhanced what we learned in our reading this week and showed the topics we read about it in our everyday lives.

  Blog 7 Weekly summary  This week we started to talk about the principles of Design, they are, balance harmony  rhythm  proportion scale emphasis contrast detail  We talked about balance and Harmony.  Balance is critical to feel a sense of equilibrium in a space. Balance is about achieving visual weight by strategic placement of objects as well as through lines, shapes, colors, and textures. There are three different types of balance, they are, symmetrical, asymmetrical, and radial. Symetrial or Formal balnce  typically require symmetrical balance Symmetrical balance is easy  it is where there is an axis and one side of the axis is the same as the other This balance can be static or boring Aysomtical or Informal Balance  Blcne without exact duplication  This balance is Interesting and dynamic  This is a more difficult balance to make look good Radial Balance  goes out in a circle  good for commercial spaces this is a yout...

  Blog 3 Weekly summary  This Week we are spending most of our time on our visual wallpaper assignment. For this assignment, we use a print from the artist Alrecht Durer. We zoom in on this print and pick an area of it to draw. This assignment will teach us to see and understand visual textures as well as learn how to use line weight correctly. I chose the image of Adam and Eve. I enjoyed this image because of its complexity. only when you zoom in do you see all the details that went into it.  Alrecht Durer created this print based off of Adam and Eve in the Graden of Eden. He wanted to show them moments before the fall of man. He depicted them as perfect humans, just as God made them. I chose a section from the top right corner with a Goat standing on the ledge of a cliff. This goat represents  lust and damnation. I picked this section because I think it has a great composition with a mix of dark and light spaces. It also has a goat in it which is just fun! Reading ...
