The Grid

I believe that Mohawk’s Specialty Digital Substrates brochure is a well designed piece. This brochure contains many qualities of a good design; such as repetition, contrast, flow, and an organized, grid-like structure. The design of this brochure fulfills the many topics we have covered in the Graphic Design 1 class. The very first thing that I noticed when I picked up the brochure was the use of negative space on the cover. Mohawk’s brochure title is in a grey typeface, inside of a white…

mistaken as a derivation of the magic square, in which the sum of every diagonal, row, and column of a grid adds up to the same number. Other than the fact that Sudoku takes place on a grid, this assumption could not be further from the truth. The true ancestor to Sudoku is a combinatorial object known as a Latin square (Delahaye, 2006; Hirst, 2016). A Latin square is a matrix of n 2 cells arranged in a grid with n cells on each side. Such a matrix with n cells on each side is said…

The Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR) method was used to interpolate climate characteristics at station level to spatial grids, generating both the interpolated value and the standard error estimation at each grid point. It is a localized regression based method widely used for spatial interpolation, accounting for the spatial inhomogeneity with spatially varying slopes and intercepts. At each prediction location, the GWR picks up nearby training data points and constructs a weighted…

for the generation of electricity. Many states in the United States were already started use them to replace the enormous amount of use of coal. However by gaining the using of the renewable energy, each states needed to start build up more and more grids to maintain these electricity. One best example is California. As the article described, California is one of those states which took the first step to use more renewable energy such as wind and solar energy. It is not difficult to see the good…

the basic grid, are the primary methods of laying out designs. When faced with a large amount of information to present in an aesthetically pleasing format, one cannot simply follow their artistic whims. The use of specific rules to follow is important, in order to construct a clean, clear, interesting design. The point of interest is positioned based of these concepts. The most popular method is the basic grid. The basic grid is simple, clear, and easy to follow. The basic grid is highly…

harvested from the nature to electricity. For example, solar PV systems convert solar energy into electricity then use an inverter to convert electricity from direct current to alternating current, and then supply the generated electricity to the electric grid. The most established solar PV technologies are silicon-based systems, and more recently film modules is developed, this is consist of non-silicon semiconductor material, although thin films have a lower efficiency than silicon modules,…

I began by using the grid to draw the outline of his head, neck, and shoulders. Then I outlined his various facial…

Evolution of the Panels Solar power is not a new concept—two thousands years ago our ancestors would concentrate the sun’s heat with glass or mirrors to light fires or heat water. It wasn’t until 1839 that Edmond Becquerel, a French scientist, discovered what is known as the “photovoltaic (PV) effect,” (US DOE EERE). While experimenting with an electrolytic cell that consisted of two metal electrodes placed in an electricity-conducting solution, he noticed that electricity-generation increased…

people to live better life but it also brings question about ‘authenticity’ in the relationship among the people. Due to the technology, the society which we live in nowadays makes people to be exposed in the grid of busyness. It seems that the authenticity is destroyed its own meaning in the grid of busyness, nevertheless, people accept what they are doing now and still can enjoy the ‘authentic’ life in the busy life because the products of technology help to keep intimacy and communication in…

The first theory is Blake and Mouton’s Managerial Grid which was published in 1964. By using this grid, it allows managers to be assigned a rating on each dimension (Roberson 2005). In modern organizational communication this theory is now known as the Leadership Grid and has had significant impact on organizational structure. This tool was developed to better train different types of leadership styles for…
