     HOW TO MAKE ANYONE FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU

                                   BY LEIL LOWNDES

DEFINITION OF LOVE?

          A deep, tender, Ineffable feeling affection and solicitude toward a person, such as that arising from kinship, recognition of attractive qualities, or a sense of underlying oneness.

MY IDEOLOGY ABOUT LOVE.

‘LOVE IS A FEELING AND A DECISION’

                  Love is a DOING word. It requires choices. Hard choices, sometimes. It’s about sacrifice. It’s about faithfulness. It requires commitment. It sometimes hurts and doesn't feel so good. As Daniel Bedingfield said in a song, “Nothing hurts like love, nothing causes your heart so much pain.”

People who think love is a feeling will never succeed in marriage. They will never succeed in friendship. They will be likely to fail in most things they set their hands to.

But what does the world know of the kind of love that the Bible defines anyway? Should it surprise me that the dictionary definition is so far removed from what Paul says in 1 Corinthians? I wonder if older dictionaries ever acknowledged the doing side of love? Is this dangerous limitation of the English concept of love a modern phenomenon? Brush off those old dictionaries on your shelf and let me know . . . .

“Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude.
 It does not insist on its own way; 
 It is not irritable or resentful; 
 It does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. 
 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.
 Love never ends.”

INTRODUCTION

Visual Communication is a quarterly, peer-reviewed academic journal publishing top research in visual studies. It welcomes contributions from scholars in anthropology, sociology, history and scientific research. Articles cover still and moving images; graphic design and typography; visual phenomena such as fashion, professional vision, posture and interaction; the built and landscaped environment; and the role of the visual in relation to language, music, sound and action.

 

Visual Communication

The expression of ideas and information using visual forms or aids. Body language including gestures are part of such communication. Presentations may also include photographs, charts, graphs, and diagrams to enforce or demonstrate ideas or data.

Culture.

Culture is the sum of total of the learned behaviour of a group of people that are generally considered to be the tradition of that people and are transmitted from generation to generation.

The Three Pillars of Successful Visual Communications

Scalability
This ‘explosion’ in video demand and usage is forcing many organisations to think more carefully about implementing controls to improve the user experience, which will drive wider adoption of visual communications solutions and, in turn, ensure better return on investment. “But,” warns Heard, “the answer isn’t simply to ‘wrap’ a managed service around the visual communications estate.

Consistency
In terms of consistency, a key challenge for global organisations today is achieving the same standard and quality of visual communications across all of their offices around the world. Often, the video experience is fair at its headquarters or major regional offices, which usually offer high-touch support and have video experts on hand. But it’s not always the case with remote sites or home offices.

Adoption
Much has been said about the importance of user adoption in the success of visual communications. Again, the consistency of the user experience across geographical locations contributes to both ease-of-use and increased usage. Says Heard: “It’s important to keep your most ‘technology-shy’ users in mind − those who show an inherent reticence for using unfamiliar technology

MANIFESTATIONS OF CULTURE

>Cultural differences manifest themselves in different ways and differing levels of depth. Symbols represent the most superficial and values the deepest manifestations of culture, with heroes and rituals in between.

>Symbols are words, gestures, pictures, or objects that carry a particular meaning which is only recognized by those who share a particular culture.

>Heroes are persons, past or present, real or fictitious, who possess characteristics that are highly prized in a culture.

>Rituals are collective activities, sometimes superfluous in reaching desired objectives, but are considered as socially essential.

>Symbols, heroes, and rituals are the tangible or visual aspects of the practices of a culture. The true cultural meaning of the practices is intangible; this is revealed only when the practices are interpreted by the insiders.

Benefits of culture.

Culture Reduces Stress Levels
Regardless of your income level or education, taking in the arts is linked to being more satisfied with your life, says a study published last year in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.

Culture helps you express yourself
By participating in culture and being exposed to different forms of art, you broaden the ways in which you can express yourself. 

Culture Can Help Feed and Develop Your Perspective
It’s very easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of day to day life we have to contend with. By exposing ourselves to culture, we remove ourselves from this same old, same old routine and get out of our comfort zones, altering our perspective. 

Culture Connects You To Humanity And The community You Live In
By taking in culture (in any form, whether it be music, art or writing, to name just a few mediums) that focuses on the elements we contend with - poverty, sexuality, racism, etc. - we gain a better understanding of humanity as a whole and of the groups we live amongst

Benefits of Visual Communication  

Immediacy

Immediacy is whether you are seeking to communicate complex information, such as with statistical information, or seeking to emphasize the importance of an idea visual communication can often accomplish these tasks much more quickly than verbal communication. 

Simplicity

Another advantage to visual communication is simplicity. For example, if you seek to give driving directions to a friend, you may find it easier and even quicker to draw a visual map. Often, visual communication can simplify the information or ideas that you are seeking to pass on to another person or group of people

Flexibility

Flexible in many ways in visual communication can help you to communicate a marketing or advertising message to hundreds or thousands of people across diverse geographic areas, visual messages will often allow you to do so with more flexibility than verbal ones.

Conclusion: 

          The international nature of visual communication and culture has globalised the world economy, and the fundamental structural transformations experienced in the sector, have also increased the need for comparable data. There are many challenges when comparing culture and visual communication internationally. The use of visual communication, designed for national purposes, for international comparisons is a complicated matter as no country defines culture or culture consumers in exactly the same way but visual communication the same way.

History of Animation

Introduction:

               Animation has certainly come a long way in the decades since its debut in the early 1900s. The techniques used by animators to bring characters and stories to life have improved immeasurably over the years, yet there remains only three primary types of animation: traditional, stop-motion, and computer.Animation is a graphic representation of drawings to show movement within those drawings. A series of drawings are linked together and usually photographed by a camera. The drawings have been slightly changed between individualized frames so when they are played back in rapid succession (24 frames per second) there appears to be seamless movement within the drawings.

Overview:

Careers in Animation,

3D modeller, Animator, Art Director, Film And Video Editor, Flash Animator, Graphics Designer, Stop Motion Animator, Video Game Designer.

Examples of 3D and 2D Animation Effects    

3D Animation Work ( Battle Field)

 2D Animation work (Tiger reflecting many colours)

3D animation (Price Of Persia)

3D Animation (Lost)

2D wallpaper (Alone)

The Basic of Animation:

                Animation adds to graphics in so many ways, the dimension of time which vastly increases the amount of information which can be transmitted. In order to create digital animation you must use a graphics software. Image editors and illustration software are the two primary categories of graphics software. While there are potentially many subcategories of graphics software, most applications fall into one or the other of these two main categories. This is because there are two very different types of graphics: vector and bitmap graphics.

An animated GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) file is a graphic image on a Web page that moves - for example, a twirling icon or a banner with a hand that waves or letters that magically get larger.

Depth and Details:

                   Early animations, which started appearing before 1910, consisted of simple drawings photographed one at a time. It was extremely labour intensive as there were literally hundreds of drawings per minute of film.The development of celluloid around 1913 quickly made animation easier to manage. Instead of numerous drawings, the animator now could make a complex background and/or foreground and sandwich moving characters in between several other pieces of celluloid, which is transparent except for where drawings are painted on it. This made it unnecessary to repeatedly draw the background as it remained static and only the characters moved. It also created an illusion of depth, especially if foreground elements were placed in the frames.Walt Disney took animation to a new level. He was the first animator to add sound to his movie cartoons with the premier of Steamboat Willie in 1928. In 1937, he produced the first full length animated feature film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. With the introduction of computers, animation took on a whole new meaning.

Pioneers of animation include Winsor McCay of the United States and Emile Cohn and Georges Melies of France. Some consider McCay's Gertie the Dinosaur to be the first multi media animation.

Advantages of Animation:

1) Skills and ability improvement.

The interactive animation takes less time to learn student complex things and makes them enjoy more to learn difficult things. Education and training are higher when information presented via computer animation systems than traditional classroom lectures.

2) Interactivity.

This is when a person uses the aid of audio or video material to learn, in other to understand the subject matter.

3) Flexibility and safety.

A lot of things are dangerous to be carried out in the real-life learning such as experiments in physics and chemistry but Computer animation can allow you to experiment with zero fatality.  You can even repeat the experiment all over again if you made a mistake.

4) Attracting and holding attention.

Animation is useful when quickly getting and holding an audience's attention is important. For example, when the computer animating used to show invisible phenomena such as chemistry or physics interaction.

5) Practicality.

Computer animation is capable of presenting true-to-life situations that learners face every day. In the military computer animation is used for practicing how to fly planes, jet and combat mode called (Flight simulators) its shows exactly what is in the reality world.

The disadvantages of computer animation.

1) Some information of real-life learning will be lost in the animation program.

2) Requires extensive memory and storage space, it uses more system processing and storage resources than graphics and text.

3) Requires special equipment for a quality presentation, which are very expensive and not easy to maintain.

4) Cannot depict actuality like video that means it cannot show specific people, places, or things happening in the real world.

5) Its can also course problems to the eye and human behaviours. Its changes peoples characteristics.

Conclusion:

In my own words, many feature films of today had animation incorporated into them for special effects. A film like Star Wars by George Lucas would rely heavily on computer animation for many of its
