Objective 3: Elements and Principles of Design
The principles of design:
Emphasis: The droplets and the front of the leaf are in focus and on the rule of thirds while the background is all nice and blurry, as well the main part of the picture is nice and big, it stands out from everything in the background. On the leaf it has strong color but the background has soft color. In the background there’s a bunch of twigs and leaves but I think it excites the photo because I think it complements the front leaf. It’s located outside but it’s in the shade with little beams of light trickling onto the image.
The elements of design:
Line: The vertical twig in the background leads up to the main leaf in the picture. Also the curved lines make you want to look all over the picture instead of the one point. With the nice and round droplets it
Creates beauty to the leaf.
Colour: There are some bright colors in it but they are died down which makes it nice instead of darker colors and making it look gloomy. The red in the background makes the picture welcoming and the green in the picture complements the red.
Texture: The bright light on the droplets really shinny and smooth. The hard light also hits the leaf which shows a rough surface. But there is soft lighting on the background which makes the rough edges in them nice and smooth.
Objective 4: Lighting
Type of lighting and why: There is hard light and also soft light.
The hard lighting was to bring out the features of the leaf and to make it stand out from everything else.
The soft lighting was to make the picture welcoming and bring you in and to take away the rough edges in the background.
Objective 5: Post Production (ex. dust/spot removal, resize, contrast, white balance, sharpening, borders, etc.)
I made the light a bit brighter and the darks darker to make it more dramatic.
I also added contrast to the colors to make them a little more vibrant.
I also put a lot of sharpening on the leaf to make it funky and interesting.
Objective 6: Critique
Analyse your photograph for strengths and areas for improvement
Strength(s):
It isn’t over dramatic so it doesn’t make it look none realistic.
What I wanted captured in the picture I was able to get.
Weakness(s):
I could of got closer to the leaf which I could have captured more of the droplets and leaf with less of the background
1. What are you grateful for today?
I am so grateful that I finally got my last piece of energy and courage to confront the boss again about the commission! I was so calm and cool going in and listening to the ridiculous response I was given which I expected, I was utterly disgusted by her behaviour and way of pretending to be friendly and nice yet the intention behind was selfish and evil. So grateful I finally see through them in and out and be able to handle the situation better! I deserve a glass of whisky for that.
2. What emotional message did you have today?
Calm. Cool. Excited. Disgusted. Unhappy. Calm. Chilled.
3. What have you done today that move you forward to achieving your dream or goals?
Rest and nap and gym and sauna. Visualising.
Made a call to set up the appointment for the the7secretsrhythm who is looking for speaker, coach and mentor for university students and entrepreneurs. I still don’t have the confidence yet but I am so excited.
4. What have you learned today? How can you do it slightly better next time?
Keep the principles that I have reasoned and set for myself and take action based on my principles. So proud that I have stuck to my principles and not afraid to confront the situation again that is in my way of principles. Never compromise on the principles and they go with me wherever I go!
5. What have you done to leverage your ability today?
Connecting with June on her career direction and she advised to go travel while we still can. And after that I bumped into this song from Moana - How Far I'll Go, and I was so touched by the lyrics that I cried.. I would like to watch this movie now.
6. Have you veered off or stayed back at your centre? Have you contracted or expanded?
Remained at centre.
Not quite veered off as I have set the scenario expectation, I have remained at centre most of the time.

The Epic Seascape! Malibu Sea Caves!
Landscape photography is not only about traveling through space, but it is also about traveling through time. One may return to the same beach time and again throughout the seasons to find a million different universes, changing in an infinitude of manners with each passing wave.
Not only do we voyage outwardly to get the shot, but we travel even further inwardly. While I spend my year trekking along the John Muir Trail, and on through Zion, Yosemite, the Grand Canyon, Death Valley, and the Colorado Plateau, my heart always finds its home in these Malibu sea caves, where I have stood in awe during all hours of the day and night.
Included within are a few shots that only I have so far captured, including a miraculous winter solstice sunrise.
Best wishes throughout the coming year!

Via its simple principle of a fourth expanding dimension, LTD Theory provides a unifying, foundational *physical* model underlying relativity, quantum mechanics, time and all its arrows and asymmetries, and the second law of thermodynamics. The detailed diagrams demonstrate that the great mysteries of quantum mechanical nonlocality, entanglement, and probability naturally arise from the very same principle that fosters relativity alongside light's constant velocity, the equivalence of mass and energy, and time dilation.

The design industry is built upon the principles of composition and storytelling across all media. More and more, the lines of traditional mediums are blurring. As such, designers who understand mixed-media ideation are in high demand. This term 6 course focuses on the combination of digital and analogue techniques to efficiently produce stop motion animation for compelling narratives. This course is built on the principles of teamwork, organization, and experimentation; students work in teams, while contributing to a single class project.

Principles Of Success, Looking up in the dictionary, we find the literal meaning of success as; “the fact of getting or achieving wealth, respect, or fame.”

Paratriathletes compete over three disciplines, in five classification groups (PT1 – PT5). Although the disciplines are the same for the Olympic athlete, the training principles aren’t directly transferrable.
The short history of the sport means that effective training principles for the paratriathlete are still being developed, and there’s very little applicable published data in the area.
The British Triathlon Federation (BTF) and their paratriathlon performance manager Jonathan Riall decided that the best way to develop effective training principles for paratriathletes would be to carry out a scientific study of the development/elite squad of athletes, while documenting existing knowledge.
The BTF – with funding from the Peter Harrison Foundation – granted a physiological support project at Loughborough University (2014-2015) for the paratriathlon performance athletes.
The team at the Peter Harrison Centre for Disability Sport consists of Katy Griggs has carefully planned a programme of testing that will support the athletes and coaches during the build up to Rio 2016.
The main purpose is to give athletes a physiological advantage over their competitors, by ensuring that they’re in the best shape for Rio with an effective training strategy.
Phil Hogg at Loughborough University
The project involves assessing the squad members over a range of test protocols at specific points in their training cycle. As noted before, paratriathlon sports training knowledge is still developing and some of the ‘empirical laws’ of training may need to be challenged.
This has therefore provided staff within the PHC a valuable opportunity to collect data of this nature. Alongside the longitudinal physiological profiles of paratriathletes, three main applied research topics have been developed:
1. Understanding the economy of running/pushing following the transition of the cycle discipline;
2. Monitoring the immune function in paratriathletes across a season;
3. Cooling and acclimatisation strategies for paratriathletes.
Many paratriathletes will display a unique physiological response during exercise depending upon their physical impairment. For example, for athletes in the PT1 class (wheelchair athletes), the considerably smaller amount of muscle mass used and varying trunk stability must be taken into account. These athletes will also have impaired thermoregulatory capacity compared with their able-bodied counterparts.
British paratriathlete at Loughborough University
This is most likely caused by impairment to the nervous system which disrupts the control of skin blood flow. Moreover, athletes with cerebral palsy will display impaired movement patterns during fatigue and may also find exercise in the heat detrimental to performance. Research is still ongoing for the second and third topics highlighted above, but further work is warranted.
It is envisaged that the applied research findings, together with the testing and monitoring of the training programmes, will enable the PHC team to educate the athletes and their coaches to understand the physiological background of training principles and preparation strategies. In turn this will help with the development of training programmes that are specific to the sport as well as to the individual concerned.
The principles and values that inform the development of the CMALT scheme are:
● A commitment to exploring and understanding the interplay between technology and learning.
● A commitment to keep up to date with new technologies.
● An empathy with and willingness to learn from colleagues from different backgrounds and specialist options.
● A commitment to communicate and disseminate effective practice

Centre Street, Chinatown
Designed by the architectural firm of Hoppin and Koen, the former New York City Police Headquarters building at 240 Centre Street was built between 1905 and 1909 and stands today as one of New York City's most important examples of the Edwardian Baroque style and of the.Beaux-Arts principles of design.
On May 6, 1905, Mayor George B. McClellan, amid the ceremony of a. police band and mounted, troops, wielded a silver trove! to lay the cornerstone of the building which was hailed by the press as the -most up-to-date of its kind in the world. - Since the establishment of the first police office at. City Hall in 1796 when "to facilitate the apprehension of criminals" an effort was made to supplement the traditional night watch, the New York Police Department had witnessed the uneasy growth of the nation's largest city. Between the date of the installation at City Kali and that of 'the inauguration of the new headquarters the population of the city had increased a remarkable fifty-six fold and this growth was to continue. The large numbers of people who loved into the city during the 19th century reflected every walk of life, and municipal services struggled to keep abreast with their needs. However, the high density of population in itself created problems.
Damaging riots during the 1830s prompted the passage of the Municipal Police Act of 1884 which abolished the antiquated watch system and established the police force as we know it today. Under this act the 17 wards of the city were divided into precincts complete with a station house, captain and a. sergeant. Although formal training of the police was not established for another ten years, they were, at this time, furnished with a manual explaining their duties and legal powers. The modern notion of the "public servant,,r however, was not wholly acceptable to the newly established Municipal Police who refuted to wear the proposed blue uniform which reminded them of a servant's livery.. A star-shaped "copper" badge, which gave rise to the colloquial term for a policeman, worn over the left breast, served to identify the early force.
Over the next 57 years the numerous changes in the structure or the department reflect the rapid increase of crime in the growing city, and the authorities' attempts to keep pace with this development. Following an effort to enlarge the territorial responsibilities of the force and to initiate state control of the system, a bill was finally adopted in 1901 which gave a single commissioner of police full responsibility for •administering the city's police organization.
Housing the growing Police Department was another problem. The first centralized headquarters for the department as has been noted was situated in City Hall, where the force was housed until 1862 when the Police Department built its own headquarters building at 300 Mulberry Street, A rather plain Italianate style building, "300 Mulberry" figured prominently in the city's history. Here the Detective Bureau originated the harsh line of questioning known as the "third degree," and here also politicians such as Ulysses S. Grant and Chester A. Arthur flocked to hear the results of the city's elections. However, by 1900 the Police Department had quadrupled in size, and larger, more modem quarters were clearly needed.
In 1903 the New York architectural firm of Francis L.V. Hoppin and Terence A. Koen produced a series of drawings :cr the new Police Headquarters which was to be located on a wedge-shaped site, bounded by Grand, Centre Market Place, Centre and Broome Streets, where ths old Centre Market had stood since 1817. In 1838 the market had housed in an imposing Greek Revival building designed by Thomas Thomas, a founder of the American Institute of Architects.
It is interesting to note that Thomas' design solution for this .restricted site was a long rectangular mass with a blind arcade on the ground floor supporting trabeation above. The entrance of the market was marked by a central pavilion topped by a cupola and the ends were rendered in a temple form -facing the side streets. Over half a century later Hoppin and Koen chose a design which was both a reflection of the earlier market building and cf the most contemporary taste in civil architecture.
Architectural publications abounded during this period and architects were well travelled. Nothing escaped the knowledgeable eyes of American architects like Hoppin and Koen.who kept price with such developments. This awareness was an important factor in their design for the Police Headquarters building.
Spread oat majestically along Centre Street, the main facade or the Police Headquarters building with its central pedimented pavilion topped by a dome and balanced by end pavilions of lesser importance, is a clear reflection cf Beaux-Arts or Classical composition. Hoppin stated quite frankly that the building was not intended to look like a policc station, but was inspired by the dignity of City Hall which Hoppin called "the handsomest building on Manhattan Island." 5 The basic form, which in addition to a central pavilion with dome includes end porticos at cross axis-to the ridge t: the main pcrtico, is also similar to that of the old Centre Market. Hoppin and Koen were consciously adapting their building to the rich architectural history of the area.
Sited like the traditional French hotel de ville within a confined urban space, the five.- story granite and limestone Police Headquarters building with its five-part composition incorporates a rusticated arcade which supports two main stories linked by monumental Corinthian pilasters. The windows of the second story are capped with pedimented hoods and those of the third story are outlined by a crosset architrave. A two-story attic is set back from the main facade and rises like a clerestory above the modillioned cornice and roof balustrade. The main focus of the facade is the central portico where monumental Corinthian columns rest on a three-part rusticated arcade adorned with decorative iron grilles and sconces by Harris H. Uris Iron Works.
The pediment is filled by an im-pres sive bas re!ief of the seal of New York City flanked by trailing rinceaux. Atop the sable sits an allegorical figure of Manhattan.
Although the rather flat surface of the main facade with its arcaded base and pedimented portico suggests a French classical approach to design, several important features are clearly interpreted in the Baroque manner. Two domed towers with narrow fenestration pierce the main cornice and tightly flank the central portico. Here caryatids and oeils de boeuf arc worked into the roofline composition. From the towers the eye is drawn to the crowning dome where cornices are pushed out by paired columns and pushed up by clocks set into oeils de boeuf. The end pavilions with their broken-bed pediments and Gibbs window surrounds are surmounted with low domes gilded and panelled in the Austrian rococo manner.
The classical portico facing 'Grand Street echoes that of the main facade while the Broome Street elevation with its elaborate porte cochere is conceived in the Baroque manner. Here, rising above the vermiculated stone entranceway, a single round-arched bay thrusts its way up past Corinthian columns and through the bed of the pediment. The rear of the building along Centre Market Street is a flat, almost two dimensional, reiteration of the main facade.
Built during a period which produced such venerable establishments as New Scotland Yard and the Criminal Courts, Old Bailey, the Police Headquarters building was designed to serve both a practical and symbolic end. Francis Hoppin stated clearly that the architect's intention was, "to impress both officer and prisoner.. .with the majesty of the law."
Borrowing inspiration from other public buildings like City Hail and from contemporary European design, the Headquarters building incorporated a new, official image for the nation's largest and most sophisticated police force. As the architectural focus of the bust lino community of Little Italy, the Headquarters building plays a vital role in the area, However, as one of the finest municipal examples of Edwardian Baroque architecture in New York City, former Police Headquarters Building serves as an important reminder of the police department's proud history.

University of the Future
Internationalism, innovation, diversity – the new Campus WU is the concrete realization of WU’s vision for a modern university. The fundamental principles of the new architecture reflect the values and ideas we cherish at WU.
As a public institution, WU has lived up to its responsibility of building its new campus in an economical, ecological, and socially sustainable manner. WU’s decision to locate the new campus in Vienna’s second district will redefine this area and transform it into an educational hub. We have not only constructed new buildings, but in the process we have also given concrete realization to our ideas of what the university of the future should look like. The new campus is more than just a place for academic research and teaching and learning practical skills; it is also designed to create a new space for social, cultural, and political life.
The imposing Library & Learning Center (LC), designed by the Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid, is a testament to the central importance of research and teaching at WU. The Library & Learning Center is surrounded by five building complexes, including the Teaching Center, which houses most of WU’s auditoriums. The Teaching Center is intended mainly for bachelor degree students, while the master degree programs are taught primarily in the individual Department buildings. The Executive Academy building is the home of continuing education and life-long learning programs. In this way, the various buildings and their functions reflect the three tiers of teaching and learning represented by the Bologna Process.
WU’s Department-based organizational structure was also a contributing factor. In the past, the various Institutes that make up the Departments were scattered across different locations. Now they have been brought together in four Department buildings, which will make life much easier for both students and faculty.
These are not the only improvements the new campus has to offer: All rooms have natural light, and the auditoriums feature state-of-the-art teaching equipment, including digital whiteboards. There are 3,000 student workplaces, three times as many as in the old buildings in Vienna’s ninth district. These workplaces are located not only in the dedicated self-study areas, but also in project rooms that can be booked by teaching staff and students alike. They cater to different needs by providing quiet spots for focused academic work as well as opportunities for work on group projects in communicationfriendly study areas.
The top priority in planning the new campus was to create an environment for WU students and staff that is conducive to productive work and communication.
Not only the buildings themselves, but also the surrounding grounds offer plenty of opportunities for communication and meeting people. 55,000 m² of Campus WU’s total 100,000 m² of floor and surface area is open, publicly accessible space. Fences or barriers would contradict our vision of an open campus.
Visitors and area residents are more than welcome at Campus WU. The campus offers not only food for thought, but also restaurants, cafés, and shops, all in a stimulating architectural environment.
As different as they may look, however, the buildings are all based on the same overall technical concept: the building infrastructure is standardized in terms of construction, energy supply, ventilation, and sanitary facilities. The entire campus has been designed in accordance with “green building” principles. Much of the required energy is obtained using geothermal energy from groundwater.
Another key feature of Campus WU is barrier-free accessibility. All auditoriums are specially equipped for people with disabilities, all areas are designed to be wheelchair accessible, and the campus also features a tactile guidance system for the visually impaired.
We have not only made sure to comply with all relevant legal guidelines, but we have also drawn on experience gained from best practice examples. WU aims to play a pioneering role – in all respects.

Did you know that John Muir, Thoreau, and Emerson all loved epic poetry and poets including Shakespeare, Milton, Homer, and Robert Burns?
I recently finished my fourth book on Light Time Dimension Theory, much of which was inspired by an autumn trip to Zion!

Via its simple principle of a fourth expanding dimension, LTD Theory provides a unifying, foundational *physical* model underlying relativity, quantum mechanics, time and all its arrows and asymmetries, and the second law of thermodynamics. The detailed diagrams demonstrate that the great mysteries of quantum mechanical nonlocality, entanglement, and probability naturally arise from the very same principle that fosters relativity alongside light's constant velocity, the equivalence of mass and energy, and time dilation.

I'll be presenting at the AIGA Response_Ability conference sunday (may 16th) on this topic … I'm trying to finish up my presentation slides, so this is all fresh on my mind—why not get some more use out of it.
My photo works for this assignment because it shows many principles of art while still using the presence of light. It shows movement from the top of the stairs to the dark where there is more white space. It also shows contrast in the shadows and light shining through. I chose to take this photo because, as I walked out of my room, the shadow of the railing and the chandelier really caught my eye. I wanted to take a picture that really captured what I saw in the moment. this photo took three shots to get right. I moved around the upper railing upstairs until I caught the right angle. Eventually, I got to the end of the railing and realized that was the best angle. Then i took two shots and decided I liked the second one better because it gave off more hard light. I think I could have done more exploring with the light. I could have turned on more light or figured out how to dim the light more. Overall I think it was a pretty successful project because light is something that is everywhere and creates so many unique shadows around us.
