NM3217 In-Lecture Exercise A

The device that enhances my creativity is the Apple Ipod Classic, as shown in the picture below.



Descriptions as to how it works is as following:
The wheel as shown in below the screen contains a scroll wheel and clickable buttons.
  • To move through individual buttons on the menus, move the thumb around the wheel. An example of a menu screen is as shown figure 2.
  • When you have arrive on the button you would like to select, click the wheel to activate the button when you have reached the button in the menu.
  • The "Menu" button on the wheel allows you to get to the previous menu you were in.
  • To play or pause a song, press the "Play/Pause" button.
  • To skip a song, press the "Next" button.
  • To go back to the previous song or replay a song, press the "Previous" button.
  • To change volume of the music, move your finger around the wheel when the screen shows the music you are currently listening to (as shown in the figure1). Turn clockwise to increase the volume and anticlockwise to decrease the volume.

This Ipod Classic enhances my creativity as it allows me to relax when listening to music and hence be able to think outside of the box more easily. Moreover, it is an old device that reminds me of my childhood as I used to have one when I was little. Therefore, this device reminds me that I should not be restricted to things of the present, but should perhaps look at things of the past which might be interesting to recreate and make some minor modifications on.

All letters are in capital letters and slab serif typefaces makes this particular typographic seem to be off. Having all capital letters means that the letters all  have the same relative height and same relative width, and blocky shape. This makes it difficult for the eyes to flow through the text, and makes the text seem overbearing. The slab serif typeface makes creates a loud bold image as well. Thus, using all caps and slab serif typefaces decreases readibility of the words. Central alignment is used, but it is the weakest and the hardest alignment as it makes it hard to read. This is because there is no consistent starting and stopping point for each line so your eyes take a moment to adjust in each line, making this particular typographic representation seem very off. The leading is low which makes the words seem crammed, decreasing readibility of the words. ...

The picture I have taken is as shown below From the picture, I have extracted five hues, as shown below: In general, the colours extracted are differing shades of orange colours and blue. Overall, the picture uses cooler colours due to the presence of blue colours in most parts of the picture. The colour scheme present in the picture is the complementary colour scheme, as the general blue colours are opposite the orange colours. This creates vibrant atmosphere in the picture. However, due to the presence of colours that have low chroma (specifically those middle three colours that I have extracted), a calming mood is created as well. This is especially how these three colours take up most parts of the picture. With the blue colours, which convey a sense of calmness, e. The orange colours informs us that it is a sunset happening in the picture. This is especially due to the presence of the bright orange colours present in the sun in picture
