Websites which I think have "Aesthetics"

www.EmptyFlower.com
This site pleases my Aesthetics as it has a great deal of detail and symbolic meaning to all the images used, its also easy to navigate through the website and view the web designer's portofolio. David DeVere, the web designer of this site, uses images and outlines of female bodies and mixes them with a bunch of other image designs, to symbolise the beauty of whats inside thus why the website is called "empty flower". This term does have much more deeper meaning but these are one of them. The site is also easy to navigate and find all his future projects and past projects and even personal stuff.

www.Northxeast.com
This website aesthetics are obvious throughout it. The structure of the site and its information, to whats its all about which is how to create a better blog. The site looks visually appealing very modern and update to date with all the net tech out there.

Aesthetics Esthetics MPI104

My Definition of the word aesthetics,

Aesthetics is the philosophy of art and the theory of beauty, it involves making something the object of artistic judgment. Which is caused by our mind and emotions judging the objects beauty. Aesthetics examines what makes something beautiful, sublime, disgusting, fun, cute, silly, entertaining, pretentious, discordant, harmonious, boring, humorous, or tragic. The way we individually judge a object to be beautiful or repulsive, is contributed by our own moral values, emotions, desires, memories etc. Plato for example felt that beautiful objects incorporated proportion, harmony, and unity among their parts. Similarly, in the "Metaphysics" Aristotle found that the universal elements of beauty were order, symmetry, and definiteness.

MPI104 XML and RSS feeds

What is XML?
XML (EXtensible Markup Language) is a markup langauge much like HTML, it was designed to describe data. It uses a document type definition (DTD) or an XML Schema to describe the data, it was also designed to be self-descriptive. Basically XML was Designed to display data and to focus on how data looks. It was created to structure, store and to send information.
XML is important because it is a complement to HTML.

What is RSS?
Its Important because it makes it convient to keep a current update and be informed on all your blogs and websites by retrieving the lastest content from the sites you are interested in. RSS (Rich Site Summery) is a format for delivering regularyly changing web content ie news sites, blog sites and other similiar sites which allow their RSS feed to be used by whoever wants it. You basically save alot of time by not having to visit each site your a member of individually now their is a great number of sites offering RSS feeds which is also growing rapidly in numbers.

Assesment 1# blogspot

What i have done with my MPI104 accounts;

Del.icio.us
I have used my Del.icio.us account to save all the websites i use on the net which arent much but i use them heaps to read up on my interest like Chinese Martial arts,
3D animation and modelling, ebay and my favourite webdesigner :D. What i like about Delicious is that i have found others who are interested in what iam there arent
much but hey its still pretty cool to find others who view the same websites :).
I have followed through with instructions and all 6 bookmarks have notes and
been tagged with "MPI104 2007" thats pretty much it for delicious.

Flickr Link to my Flickr
Well On my Flickr i have uploaded 20 images and some are of my latest Model done on Zbrush.
I have pretty much uploaded images on what iam interested in which is Chinese Martial arts, 3D animation and modelling, and swords etc i have not gotten any comments yet but i guess its not as interactive as del.icio.us is but its useful when i need to show my friends what i have found on the net. I have tagged all my photos by "MPI104_2007" and given notes to them and why i like them and whats soo interesting about them i believe my pics speak for themselves anyway.

Blogger my link to my blogger
My Blogger has been posted with about 8 blogs including this one i have commented to my friends post Ryan about his passion for the Animation "Tom and jerry" and i have posted about my lasted 3D model done on Zbrush its a Dragon with a touch of my own creativity anyway thats pretty much it blogger has been useful in that i have been able to use it as a journal but iam just now getting into and seeing why its soo useful just like the accounts are too! :D

My Dragon Model

I think this will be my most interesting post as its about my dragon that i model on the holidays, oh modelling is a 3d art which involves creating a character from low geometry to a high geometry i will post pictures to show what i mean by this anyway, the model took me one day to creat and another day to add all its detail on its face the body detail i did that on the first day which i spent basically 20 hours on! i was really into it on that day i guess anyway iam into 3d art heaps soo i also wanted to animate it and give it life but i will do that in the future and i will post on my progress on that also anyway here are my pics on the dragon which does not look exactly like a dragon but i thought i would make it a bit different and add a bit of creativity to it also which i belived the end work has made it my best model at the moment anyway i wanted to share this with my co students and teachers hope you enjoy it as much as my friends and family did :D
