Type--parts of letter
As an international student, I did not know that there were so many different parts that make twenty-four letters. It is very useful for me. It gives me a background and concept of letter to start this project. Besides, I can see many similarities between Chinese word and English letter. For example, both of them use lines to help people to locate a word or letter. There are different widths of stroke.
Photography essay
Photo_ops talks about all sorts of technologies or forms in photography, like symmetry, asymmetry, repetition, framing, close-up, continuous-mode, and movement. It offers so many useful methods which can help me to have better ideas about showing the meaning of the word in this project. I can try different angles and use “repetition” to emphasize my main point in a composition. I like this reading very much. Once people look at a scene or an object in a different way, they could have a largely different world in their eyes. When we see something with aesthetics, it could become more beautiful and meaningful.
In Photography_steveedwards gives a big amount of information about the history of photography. There are mainly photo documents and documentary. After knowing the derivation of photography, I think we can use this technology better in the project. It helps us find a good approach to show our word.
