Last May, Taylor Jones was sitting with his family in Ontario when his mother pulled out an old photo album. Among the hundreds of shots was one of Jones's younger brother at his third birthday party. "He was sitting in front of his Winnie-the-Pooh birthday cake," Jones recalls. "It was weird – because my brother was there, in the exact spot he was sitting in in the photograph."</div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 13px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
Jones grabbed his camera and took a shot of the old photograph lined up to match its original location. He posted it and six others on a blog. Within days, the blog, which he later named <a href="http://dearphotograph.com/" style="background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; border-collapse: collapse; color: #005689; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;" title="">Dear Photograph</a>, had gone viral. Today, eight months on, Dear Photograph has had 10m hits, and been named one of Time magazine's 10 best sites. It now gets 20,000 hits a day.</div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 13px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
The success has enabled Jones to leave his job in Ontario with RIM, makers of BlackBerrys, where he worked as a social media specialist. He recently spent time in LA, finishing a book inspired by Dear Photograph that will feature stories to go with some shots. He has also met film and TV executives to discuss projects based on the site such as a screenplay a friend wrote about using photographs to travel into the past.<span style="background-color: white;"> </span><br />

Like the resurgence of Super 8 and the rebirth of the Polaroid instant camera, the success of Dear Photograph has its roots in our nostalgia for pre-digital technology: there is a crudeness to holding a picture in one hand and photographing it with the other, yet the final image has a potency that cannot be bestowed by Photoshop.</div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 13px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
The site receives around 20 entries a day but only one is uploaded. "The photo is usually chosen depending on [what's] going on around the world," says Jones. During the holiday season, he adds, they might "post holiday photos, but it sometimes depends just on how I'm feeling. If I'm feeling great, I'm going to post a fun photo."</div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-size: 0.858em; line-height: 1.25;">'Why did we watch TV so close' - Simon. Photograph: Dear Photograph</span></div>

Scrolling through the 200 or so images currently on the site, it quickly becomes clear how much resonance the accompanying texts provide. The big themes are longing and regret. Time and again, a photograph will radiate a sadness about what has been lost: children missing their parents, parents missing their childhood.</div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 13px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
"It's hard to see the magic through grownup glasses," runs one entry, with a shot of children in Halloween costumes. Another shows two children standing in a field of long grass, the present-day shot revealing that it has been shorn. "How I long for the days of make-believe adventures in the forest," reads the caption. "Now it's just a lawn that needs mowing." The power comes from what's been lost in the space between the old photo and the new. A proud mother holds her baby son in front of a white clapboard house. "It's nice to know that we loved each other once upon a time," reads the text.</div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 13px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<span style="color: #333333;">The basic concept behind Dear Photograph is not, Jones acknowledges, all that original: </span><span style="color: black;"><a href="http://www.sleeveface.com/" style="border-collapse: collapse; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;" title="">sleeveface.com</a>, (2) <a href="http://irinawerning.com/back-to-the-fut/back-to-the-future/" style="border-collapse: collapse; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;" title="">Irina Werning's Back to the Future</a>series, and <a href="http://www.zefrank.com/youngmenowme/" style="border-collapse: collapse; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;" title="">Ze Frank's Young Me, Now Me</a></span><span style="color: #333333;"> have explored similar territory, often revealing the passage of time by replicating old photographs using the subjects as they are today. But Jones's innovation was to allow the space to seem to talk to the photograph.</span></div>
<div style="border-collapse: collapse; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 13px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
There is an irony, Jones admits, in a 22-year-old creating a site so themed around nostalgia for a vanished past. "It is a little crazy," he says, "but seeing all these photographs, and reading the stories, has given me a perspective on life. My parents are still around and I have grown a lot closer to them." Jones has resisted taking advertising, which could have made him a substantial sum; the book deal with HarperCollins has allowed him to remain financially stable. "The website is for the photographs," he says. "I don't want anything that takes the focus away from them."</div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Different from the elderly people in my country, most of the old ladies in the UK look elegant and fashionable.

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I can see some homeless people on the streets in this country. Some of them are accompanied by their dogs, some of them play instruments. I realized that these people would rather suffer from the cold in winter and they would give their coats or quilts to their dogs.</span></div>

<div class="p0" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I remember once I was off work late on a Saturday night of January . On my way home I saw several young ladies came out of a pink limousine. They were in either mini skirts or deep V evening dresses. I was frozen in the snow however they all looked as if they were on the beach of Hawaii. </span></span></div>

<div class="p0" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">In my opinion the worst thing of living in the UK is to suffer from the bad weather. It rains and blows most time of the year. However when the sun comes out, people rush at once to a park and take off their clothes laying over a lawn,though the outdoor temperature is low. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">I found that British people like reading on the bus or train or other transport. I'm not sure either British are studious or just because the newspapers are free on the bus. I can't read while I am moving because I would get carsick. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

This is my new paper cut piece of my current project. I designed this fairy tale style illustration and cut it out with a cutter. Inspired by the Chinese folk patterns, I came up with this asian style trees, rabbit and floral patterns. In addition, I tried to make the bottom part symmetrical to express the traditional artistry of Asian folk art.</div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10.5000pt; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">The topic of this assignment was change – what would I most like to change about the world if I have the ability? After a conversation with the tutor, I had my final thoughts – I wanted to change human’s cruel behaviors of killing wild animals. I decided to design three posters with the fox as the theme. In which form should the fox be presented, a bloody corpse, a figure aimed at by a gun, or a lively posture? I chose the last one, because I wanted to let the audience love them, show mercy to them and oppose the brutal and bloody killings by portraying their nature and beauty.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10.5000pt; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10.5000pt; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">First of all, I drafted a few foxes on a sketchbook with a pencil in simple and smooth lines to highlight the beautiful gesture of foxes. Then I added some flowers as a background and determined the final draft after repeated modifications. After that, I copied those sketches on the lino with tracing papers and deepened them with a pencil. </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10.5000pt; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10.5000pt; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> After that, I copied those sketches on the lino with tracing papers and deepened them with a pencil. Then I started carving along the mark carefully with a pencil. After the caving was finished, I brought them to the printing room for printing. As there was only one machine in the printing room and there were a number of people queuing, each of whom wanted the lino to be produced in different thickness, so the machine was constantly adjusted and I could not accurately fix it at the appropriate pressure strength. Consequently, the result of the first test was not good – the color was uneven, the paint was either too much or too little, accompanied with other minor problems.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10.5000pt; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

I tried two colors – dark red and orange – on paper of different materials. This time I tried a lot of printing and most of which produced good results. Looking at the results of my own effort, I feel so happy.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10.5000pt; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

After I came up with the final illustration, I started to cut. I took quite a while to cut all the small edges of the Christmas leaves and the little stings of the hedgehog. I separated the design in two parts. The upper part is to get rid of the rest part of paper and the bottom part is to cut out the drawings. I think this makes an nice eye contrast. I spent two days on cutting in total and I really enjoyed it. I was satisfied with the final outcome but I think I could have done better if had repare more.Qianqian Lihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17857565262702578918noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2351280051634756922.post-92162228548164260652012-10-28T17:45:00.000-07:002012-11-03T17:45:56.047-07:00Second Idea<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I showed my first design draft to my tutor and he advised me to get rid of the texts and maybe changed the cactus to another hedgehog as it might be confused. So that I created this design,The message of it is passing love, to me this is the design that warms and comforts. I hope the audiences could sense the love and warmth when they look at it.<br />

<br />
The theme of this design is Passing Love, I drew some leaves and snows in the background reprsent the cold in winter, the little hedgehog is passing a glove to a cactus. In the middle I inserted some texts which is a sentence inspiring me.<br />

<div class="p0" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10.5000pt; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">This is a Russian animated video and it's a story about a little hedgehog (voiced by Mariya Vinogradova) and his friend bear cub (voiced by Vyacheslav Nevinniy). The two would meet every evening to drink tea from the cub's samovar, which was heated on a fire of juniper twigs. As they drank their tea, the hedgehog and the bear conversed and counted the stars together. One day, the hedgehog decided to bring raspberry jam. As he went to the bear to count the stars, he passed through the woods and found a horse standing in a fog, where the hedgehog can't even see his own pink paw. He is curious as to whether the horse would drown if it went to sleep in the fog. The hedgehog decides to explore the fog.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10.5000pt; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="p0" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10.5000pt; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10.5pt;">I think the meaning of this film is captured in the final thoughts of the hedghog. Most experience moving away from the familiar, and these experiences could also be those of an adult going off for travel or war, only to come home a bit dazed about what they have experienced. And the hedgehog thought, "Isn't it wonderful that we are together again" as he wonders about "the horse", the very thing that took him off his original path. In other words, "there's no place like home"</span></div>

I visited the Manchester First Cut Exhibition in the Manchester Art Gallery and it's absolute amazing.There are some very interesting works in different scales and in both 2D and 3D.I was very inspired by Peter Callesen's 3D paper cuts, the way he used nagative spaces and the tiny little sculptures he built up are all interesting.</div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10.5000pt; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">Meet acclaimed French artist Béatrice Coron, who will talk about the silhouette worlds she invents, cutting them into existence from single sheets of paper. Coron, a self-taught paper-cutter, first became familiar with cutting techniques in her native France, developing her interest and skill further while living in China. Her hand-cut compositions, often populated with hundreds of carefully crafted figures, appear to burst with activity and life. Now based in New York, Coron’s work has been well received and is included in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the National Gallery of Art, and the Bibliothèque Nationale de France. She has received several public art commissions including New York’s and Chicago’s respective Transit Authorities.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10.5000pt; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10.5pt;">Elas Mora is one of my faverite paper cut artists who creates incredible exquisite designs.I am really impressived by the fairy tale style illustrations showed in her paper cut pieces.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10.5pt;">While we're all used to seeing intricate papercut art, it's not often we come across pieces with interesting meanings behind them. Los Angeles-based multimedia artist Elsa Mora (aka Elsita) created this beautiful papercut piece called Fear that shows a person who has turned into a forest with two little people hanging on the leaves.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="p0" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10.5pt;">"In the forest that our mind is there is always the presence of fears," Elsita says on her website. "I tend to see fear as two little people having an argument within my mind. One of them is positive, the other one is negative but in the end I am both of them. I am aware of how much I can influence their argument, it all depends on my own personal choice of whom I am going to support and let win. This piece in the photos is a representation of this idea. I think that it is a good thing to own our fears and not the other way around, don't you think? "Have a wonderful day my friend and don't be afraid of trying something new in your life once in a while."</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

I edited the draft in Photoshop, and I tried painting it in different colour to see different effects. I finally choose the blue one as it has a strong vusual affect. I am happy with this final outcome as it looks like Chinese paper cutting art.</div>

I decided to design an illustration of Salford Totem pole and make it a poster. I did a lot research of the apperance of the Salford totem pole, however, I couldn't find any images that can show what it looks like clearly, so that I redesign the parts I couldn't see.</div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10.5000pt; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">Hidden deep in a warehouse somewhere in Salford Quays was the once proud Salford Totem Pole which stood on the Quays for nearly 40 years until it was removed for safety reasons.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10.5000pt; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p0" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10.5000pt; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">The pole has now been rescued by Councillor Steve Coen and currently resides in the Lowry Outlet Mall! Dreamscope, alongside journalist Saréda Dirir, are following the progress of the renovation by 1st nation American Kevin Cranmer (the great-nephew of Doug Cranmer who originally carved the pole back in 1969).</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10.5000pt; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p0" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">

<div class="p0" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10.5000pt; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">Salford's totem pole has been restored to its former glory. The 32ft, two-and-a-half-ton structure is once again a vibrant red and green, crowned by the head of a Thunderbird with its vivid yellow beak.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10.5000pt; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p0" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10.5000pt; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">It is likely to be put inside a public building in Salford Quays, although a decision is yet to be made about the exact location.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10.5000pt; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p0" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10.5000pt; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">The pole was commissioned by Robert Stoker, the then chairman of Manchester Liners and unveiled in 1969 in the company’s grounds in the Quays.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10.5000pt; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p0" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10.5000pt; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">It was meant to be a permanent testimony to trade links between Manchester and Canada. But in 2006 it was taken down after falling into disrepair.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10.5000pt; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p0" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10.5000pt; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">OOCL, the company which took over Manchester Liners, moved it to their depot in Felixstowe. But Salford councillor Steve Coen began a campaign to bring it back and the totem was returned in 2007. Repair work was started late last year.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10.5000pt; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p0" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10.5000pt; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">The pole was carved by Chief Pal Nakwala Wakas – alias Doug Cramner – of the Kwakwaka’wakw tribe, from British Columbia, Canada.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10.5000pt; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p0" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10.5000pt; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">His nephew, Kevin Cramner, travelled to Salford to lead the repair work, which used cedar imported from Canada.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10.5000pt; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p0" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10.5000pt; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">OOCL paid for Kevin’s flight and the firm was among a number of businesses whcih helped to pay for the repair work. Two community committees, affiliated to the council, contributed £1,000 each. A lot of the work was done in kind. There are four symbolic designs on the pole – the Great Eagle or Thunderbird, representing family and solidarity; the Killer Whale, master of the seas; the raven, a messenger and symbol of trade; and copper coins, a sign of wealth and power.</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10.5000pt; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="p0" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10.5000pt; mso-spacerun: 'yes';">The pole is currently on show in the Museum Of Museums at the Trafford Centre. Coun Coen said: "I think it is wonderful that it has been restored. It is up to the people of Salford to decide where it should be put up. But I would hope it is at Salford Quays, facing Canada."</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10.5000pt; mso-spacerun: 'yes';"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
I have already got an idea of my personal logo design, which is to design a combination of letter Q and letter L, which are the buginning letters of my first name and my surname. In order to make it look alittle bit different from normal fonts, I designed a little swan with a big circle head and small body.And I painted it in pink. I hope when people look into it carefully, they can realise this is actually representing the letter Q and L. I am really happy with this design as it looks adorable,simple and cute.<br />

And then I tried to pasted them in different positions and played around. For the item dispaly part I found some tag shapes online, and then I adjusted the size of the photographs I found, and pasted them on each tag shape. I really like this idea as it makes the whole page look adorable and tidy.<br />
