La perspective à 1 point de fuite 7/…

Pour me récompenser de mes efforts, j'ai cherché une référence sur Pinterest et je me suis amusée.
Évidemment, la perspective de l'image comporte plusieurs points de fuite, donc il y a une partie totalement bancale, mais je me suis bien amusée quand même avec cette vieille cuisine 😅

Aujourd'hui, l'exercice consiste à dessiner un couloir carrelé, avec un point de vue un peu décalé.
Je commence à prendre mes marques et ça devient plus facile.
En déplaçant le point de fuite diagonal, on obtient différentes tailles de pièces.

1ère séance de travail avec le livre mentionné plus haut.
Le 1er exercice consiste à dessiner une pièce carrelée.
J'ai compris comment tracer la ligne d'horizon, le point de fuite, le plan du tableau et la ligne de terre.
Je me suis d'abord plantée sur la localisation du point de fuite de la diagonale parce que j'ai mal lu 😬
Mon premier essai était donc faux, j'ai recommencé et cette fois ci, j'ai mieux géré...

Learning to distinguish the map versus the territory is an essential step. It’s critical to learn what a map is, and what maps are good for, in order to proceed with one’s life. Maps enable me to see and do things otherwise impossible; maps reveal unknown unknowns. Maps can also frustrate me endlessly. Sometimes I don’t want to have an opinion; I don’t want to spend the energy to have an opinion. I don’t care how I get from here to there. Just. Tell. Me. how to get there. And of course nothing in this paragraph has to do with literal maps of the world— I’m not talking about cartography nor driving directions.

On closer examination, it turns out there are many things wrong with it. Thousand True Fans is a hollow philosophy. It is Chicken Soup for the Digital Creator’s Soul, ultimately devoid of any real nutritional value.

~ Dave Karpf from, https://davekarpf.substack.com/p/the-hollow-core-of-kevin-kellys-thousand

Kevin Kelly’s 1,000 True Fans is a map, before it there was another map, The Cluetrain Manifesto, and there were others. When you find a new-to-you map it opens your mind to new possibilities. I would assume the first children’s books I encountered were astounding, but wouldn’t have the same effect today. (I’m not denigrating either of those works; I’m not suggesting they are “children’s books”.)

But I do get frustrated. I see a terrific map, and then I want to make a terrific next “move”. That’s not how maps work, Craig. You look at the map, then you take the next small step informed by everything you know, including the new perspective from the new map. You write one sentence (for example, on a page soliciting support for your work) and that’s informed by all the maps you’ve previously seen. Big picture. Little steps.

The importance of outside-in perspective! Excellent approach by Novartis!

It is a different point whether such perspectives are being acted upon or not; the first point is accepting that there is value in the outside-in perspective. For a company as large as Novartis to accept that is a pretty big deal.

The nuances of UX. Understanding that driving towards this hole means English no longer reads top-to-bottom, but in reverse. The result? “Big very hole.”

Someone with a heart bigger than this hole took the time to warn people. That’s what matters. But I can’t look at this without considering reading order, travel speed, etc. That’s UX.

In any case, I hope someone puts some gravel in that hole. It’s perilous. May you all avoid the “big very holes.”

Black and white portrait format image shows a scene looking down a narrow city centre alleyway where the buildings are partly lit by bright sunlight. There are four men in the scene - there is the silhoutted shadow of one man sitting on a step and using his mobile phone in the bottom right, another in bright sunlight doing the same a short distance away, a third is standing in the shadows by the entry to the alleyway and a fourth can just be seen striding past on the opposite side of the street beyond the entrance to the alley. All four are tiny compared to the very tall buildings towering over them.
Black and white portrait format image shows a scene shot from high above a series of outdoor cafe tables and chairs, next to a sign for a jeweller's store. The tables are empty apart from a lone woman who is sitting at the very top of the scene. She has her umbrella on the table in front of her.
Black and white portrait format image shows a street in New York photographed from the High Line elevated walkway. There are cars moving slowly on the street and one is captured at the point where a shaft of sunlight has created a triangular patch of light so placed that it looks like it is emanating from the car. On the left of the scene is a long row of parked bicycles which are partly illuminated by the shaft of light.
Black and white portrait format image taken from a very low angle, with the camera almost on the ground, showing the converging lines of a short series of stone steps which lead the eye toward a skateboarder who is caught mid-trick in the air. His skateboard is spinning freely beneath him and his legs are split. A man on the right walking toward the camera is seen watching the skateboarder while other people can be seen in the distance going about their business in the city centre.

In PR's and Issue comments etc.

Instead of writing "You" and drawing attention to the person on a personal level.

Try writing without and see the difference.

It doesn't have to be about You, Yourself or Me, Myself.

It could be plainly about the PR or about the Issue.

No need to make it personal, please #perspective
