Elements of art

Theme (arts)

noreply@blogger.com (NIO) — Wed, 19 Jan 2011 03:07:00 +0000

Theme (arts)

In the visual arts, a theme is a broad idea or a message conveyed by a work, such as a performance, a painting, or a motion picture. This message is usually about life, society or human nature. Themes are the fundamental and often universal ideas explored in a work. Themes are usually implied rather than explicitly stated. Deep thematic content is not required in a visual work; however, some observers would say that all visual work inherently projects some kind of outlook on life that can be taken as a theme, regardless of whether or not this is theintent of the author. Analysis of changes (or implied change) in dynamic characteristics of the work can provide insight into a particular theme.

A theme is not the same as the subject of a work. For example, the subject of Star Wars is "the battle for control of the galaxy betweenGalactic Empire and the Rebel Alliance". The themes explored in the movies might be "moral ambiguity" or "the conflict between technology and nature".

Themes differ from motifs in that themes are ideas conveyed by the visual experience as a whole, while motifs are repeated symbols found inside an over-arching theme. Simply having repeated symbolism related to chess, does not make the story's theme the similarity of life to chess. Themes arise from the interplay of the plot, the characters, and the attitude the author takes to them, and the same story can be given very different themes in the hands of different authors.

While thematic analysis is a primary concern of Art critics, a minority viewpoint holds that explicitly stating the theme of a work universalizes it in an inappropriate way. For example, many love stories end happily when the hero and heroine marry, thus the theme "Marriage equals happiness." Critics would point out that marriage rarely does simply equate to happiness and that marriage and happiness are individual and cultural intangibles that may or may not relate.

The term theme may be used in the same way to refer to works of literature. The examples below are not necessarily the only themes in the works listed.

Composition (visual arts)

noreply@blogger.com (NIO) — Sat, 11 Dec 2010 05:47:00 +0000

Composition (visual arts)
In the visual arts — in particular painting, graphic design, photography and sculpture —composition is the placement or arrangement of visual elements or ingredients in a work of art, as distinct from the subject of a work. It can also be thought of as the organization of the elements of art according to the principles of art.

The term composition means 'putting together,' and can apply to any work of art, from music to writing, that is arranged or put together using conscious thought. In the visual arts, composition is often used interchangeably with various terms such as design, form, visual ordering, or formal structure, depending on the context. In graphic design and desktop publishing, composition is commonly referred to as page layout.

Adobe Color Management Module (CMM)

noreply@blogger.com (NIO) — Tue, 09 Nov 2010 20:58:00 +0000

Adobe Color Management Module (CMM)

The Adobe® Color Management Module (CMM) provides methods to transform colors using industry-standard International Color Consortium (ICC) color profiles. It is intended for users who wish to achieve consistent color workflows using a common CMM.

The CMM is included in Adobe applications that use the Adobe Color Engine, a full Color Management System. However, the CMM component of the Adobe Color Engine has previously been unavailable to users in parts of their workflows that do not include Adobe applications.

The CMM can be used by applications that support the selection of third-party CMMs. It can also be integrated with workflows using custom software to access the CMM APIs. See the ReadMe document contained in the CMM download for details.

For information about bundling the Adobe CMM with non-Adobe products, contact Adobe at adobecmm@adobe.com.

Introducing Page Speed

At Google, we focus constantly on speed; we believe that making our websites load and display faster improves the user's experience and helps them become more productive. Today, we want to share with the web community some of the best practices we've used and developed over the years, by open-sourcing Page Speed.

Page Speed is a tool we've been using internally to improve the performance of our web pages -- it's a Firefox Add-on integrated with Firebug. When you run Page Speed, you get immediate suggestions on how you can change your web pages to improve their speed. For example, Page Speed automatically optimizes images for you, giving you a compressed image that you can use immediately on your web site. It also identifies issues such as JavaScript and CSS loaded by your page that wasn't actually used to display the page, which can help reduce time your users spend waiting for the page to download and display.

Page Speed's suggestions are based on a set of commonly accepted best practices that we and other websites implement. To help you understand the suggestions and rules, we have created detailed documentation to describe the rationale behind each of the rules. We look forward to your feedback on the Webmaster Help Forum.
