Habit Research

Habits are controlled by the IL cortex of the brain. So when someone says that habits free up space in your brain that isn’t true. In studies with rats turning off the IL cortex also turned off the habit they have been trained to do. 

It is also proven that the IL cortex favors new habits over old ones so it is very difficult to go back on old habits. 

— Studies from MIT

Experts say it actually only takes 21 days to break a habit, the same time it takes patients who loose appendages to remember and realize they do not have their appendage there.

Definitions of a Habit

• a usual way of behaving : something that a person does often in a regular and repeated way
• : a strong need to use a drug, to smoke cigarettes, etc.
• : a piece of clothing worn by members of a religious group

Game Process

I feel like our game process was pretty good. We definitely started very strong. We had some really great ideas and we had some good process narrowing it down. The original game we were going to make I feel like was much stronger. It was just complicated and we couldn't agree on it.  After that though everyone in the group was super nice and we all got on well. The final game we made is pretty good. Although Jayhawk ink messed up a lot of are printing which is disappointing.

Fav Infographic

One blog post that resonated with me was Jenny's infographic about the difference in pay for female national soccer players versus men. I really appreciated the flow of the info graphic. There was no point where I didn't want to know the information that I was being given so it was paced super well. I really appreciated the depth of information she had. When I first heard her topic I was like, how is she gonna make a whole info graphic about that it seems to narrow. She did a great job though. I wish it had looked more like a soccer info graphic, but none the less the design was super clean and nice. I wish maybe statistics for other country's teams would have been included at the end. I would have found that interesting. It definitely inspired me to look more into the pay gap for female athletes specifically.

Infographic Thesis

Thesis: The world has been dominated by men politically for centuries. Women are now finally making a dent in politics throughout the world, ruling just as capably as men. While women are making headway, they still make up less than 10 percent of the world political population, and to have truly equal, well-rounded and fair representation this needs to change.

Rough Sketch

_ Why do you feel in is important or interesting? 
I'm a huge feminist and also Emma Watson lover
_ What is the emotion, mood, tone, personality, feeling of the speech?
The tone is pretty serious, I mean its a speech for the UN, Emma watson seems very passionate about her subject
_ What is intonation, emphasis, what is loud, stressed, or soft. Where are there pauses...  
_ What do you FEEL should be loud or soft, long pause or rushed?
_ Is there a call to action? When listening to it what are key/emphasized words? 
Sort of? strong sensitive spectrum controlled stop
_ How does it make you feel? 
excited? inspired? like emma watson is a bad ass
_ How do imagine that the audience felt? 
inspired? men probably as well
_ Could there be another interpretation of the speech?
um not it's pretty clearly about gender equality
_ Write/find a short bio, of the person giving the speech. 
Emma watson, British actress, was a recently appointed as the UN Women's Good Will ambassador. Her newest campaign is "He for She" a program that encourages men to support women in their struggle for equality and do away with the perception of man hater feminism. 
_ Type up the 30 - 45 seconds of the speech so you have it as text on an 8.5 x 11 sheet.

There is some clapping i will edit out so it will be shorter. also she talks super slow so its not really that long

P1:2

 What are the advantages of a multiple column grid.? 

• it gives you a lot of options and diversity in the layout 

_ How many characters is optimal for a line length? words per line?

• 50-60

_ Why is the baseline grid used in design?

• to make sure all text lines up through out the spread

_ What are reasons to set type justified? ragged (unjustified)?

• justified type creates even endings and a square looking paragraph but it also someones spaces the line super wonky
• unjustified doesn't do the whole wonky think at the end and leaves the spacing natural

_ What is a typographic river?

• gaps of white that run within the text of a paragraph when it is spaced unevenly

_ What does clothesline, hang-line or flow line mean?

• where one small word is hanging on the end of a line

_ What is type color/texture mean?

• type color- how dense or heavy the type is on the page
• type texture- the way the paragraph looks from afar

_ How does x-height effect type color?

• x height can effect the legibility of type

_ What are some ways to indicate a new paragraph. Are there any rules?

• no first indent-rule
• but after that indent
• line break

History of Design

Fred Woodard

Woodward was most noted for his designs for Rolling Stone Magazine. He was respectful of graphic design history but he also added his own original features like the Oxford Border. He was known for letting the photo speak for itself, adding minimal text or none at all. In 1996 he was inducted into the art director hall of fame.

Gail Anderson

Also a designer for Rolling stone Magazine, Anderson was known for her typographic displays. She was known for her use of quirky or none traditional materials for her typographic displays that had great connections to the subject they were displaying. She was known and loved for her dramatic and comic designs and has written several books about her designs.

Tibor Kalman

Tibor was known for his daring and bold coverage of controversial topics at the time like AIDS. His magazine covers and spreads were often striking, just like their subjects. He embraced unsophisticated designs, a division between Modernism and postmodernism, which strikingly represented his subjects.

Alexi Brodovitch

Brodovitch was most famous for his work as the art director of Harper's Bazaar. He made huge changes in magazine design as he had complete creative freedom. He was known for daring type placement of type and images, making design more asymmetrical and interesting than people were used to at the time.

Neville Brody

He was notable for his design for The Face magazine, which was known as the fashion bible. He was also known for his very bold uses of typography and minimalism used to elevate the subject and fashion. He created himself a new visual language with images and architectural elements. He was also known for creating several type faces.

David Carson

Carson essentially created 90's design, emulating the grungy style that was popular at the time. He turned graphic design into a cultural force as he really tried to embrace the culture at the time in creating his designs, giving him spreads unique to him as a designer as well as unique to the time period.
