Guest gcursor Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 To update you on how I'm doing in college, I thought I would say this, "OW!!!! IT BURNS! It BURNS!!! PLEASE MAKE IT STOP!!!!!!" gcursor Quote
Guest gcursor Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 by the way, i just finished my first digital video assignment which consisted of making several picture composition shots and submitting those for grading. one thing we studied was the "rule of thirds". This rule states that if you divide a picture into 3 equal areas horizontally and vertically (making 9 boxes) AND if you centered the subject on one of the intersections surrounding the inner-most square then people's eyes automatically are drawn to that image (proved psychologically). As a matter of fact, people will look at a picture of ...oh..a stop sign, for example and if it's on one of the "intersections" then people will long for the object (i.e. stop sign) and start to admire it above all others. They will start to think of the stop sign as sexy, smart, and sophisticated. they will be entranced by the power and the prestige the STOP sign appears to hold and will start to do whatever they can to be WITH that stop sign! Anyway that's a little of what I'm learning so far... Quote
TotallyOz Posted June 26, 2012 Posted June 26, 2012 G, keep working hard. It will pay off! As for Stop signs, I have never had a thing for them. I do like Elephant Crossing signs though. Quote
