Language represents our view of the world, and knowing its limits helps us understand how our perception works. I used the data from Wikipedia’s “Color” entry for different languages. My assumption was: "Different languages have different ways to describe color.” (Scroll Down to Start) The Chinese entry has 250+ different colors. The Hue-Saturation-Lightness (HSL) model is a 3D model that can be projected on a 2D space. Using Hue as an angle, we can set either Saturation as the radius . . . or Lightness as the radius. Here is the English Dataset, keeping Lightness as a constant . . . or keeping Saturation as the constant. Comparing the two datasets, you can see that English has a richer entry for color names. However, it's always worth asking: Is this the best model to represent our dataset? Notice that the Chinese and English names for colors share a common structure of "noun/adj + base color": Here are all the colors with 青 in their names. Now let's see English. association from object . . . Related:  Journalism Inspiration

Brand identity style guides This is great! The University of Connecticut has a nice one designed by Peter Good. Web and link to PDF version. Peter did a great job of differentiating the three identities a university typically has. – The academic and marketing identity (what most would think of as the main identity). – The athletics or mascot identity. UConn has a pretty simple color palette but, many academic systems also include extra Pantone colors to be used for marketing or just for the presidential or university seal (gold, etc.). Stanford University just redid their system too! I also like Vanderbilt University’s. Google Scholar interactive - National Film Board of Canada At the NFB we like change. For 70 years we've experimented, innovated, and produced a legacy of technical and creative firsts in cinema, animation, and documentary. Think McLaren, Lipsett, Brittain, and Jutra; Stereoscopic 3d, VTR, and participatory media. Today, the way we create, consume, and connect with each other changes by the minute. And this evolving collection of stories reflects that reality. It's the result of artists and storytellers of all sorts utilizing new technology, to explore new forms of creation, for a new kind of Canada. The stories they're telling here are new, but share a lot in common with the work that came before: they present distinct voices, strong points-of-view, and unique perspectives. So let the conversation begin. Scary or otherwise.

The Ad-Man's Desk Book - Album on Imgur ERIC - Education Resources Information Center 23 Amazing Single Page Websites When a website doesn’t call for a lot of content, it might be a good idea to go with the single page approach – where all of the content lives on the home page and the navigation, in most cases, allows the user to jump from one section to another. In the past few years, we’ve seen a steady increase in popularity of these types of sites, mainly partly because the use of jQuery can make for some nifty transitions and effects. For you’re inspiration, we gathered some really nice examples of websites that use only one page to show all their content. From minimalist layouts to colorful ones, from plain and simple menu navigations to parallax scrolling, you will find plenty here to inspire you. Take some time and check them all out, and let us know which one is your favorite.

Yido, la mezcla de conceptos es posible | Algunas Plantas Raras Por Cristina García. Yes I do concept es la frase de guerra que representa toda una filosofía compositiva y abre las puertas al universo de Yido. En él, encontramos el perfil de un artista que bebe de las formas geométricas y de la naturaleza para crear sus propias composiciones. Con una distribución que mezcla antagónicos: las figuras extraordinarias y casi imposibles, aparecen unidas a otros objetos, miembros del cuerpo, o detalles que aparentemente no tienen nada que ver entre sí.

laws Organization makes a system of many appear fewer. The home is usually the first battleground that comes to mind when facing the daily challenge of managing complexity.
