Frill “Editorial” One of the great things about graphic design is that it is about all kinds of things. Teaching graphic design exposes one to all kinds of viewpoints and passions. ‘Variety is the spice of life,’ as they say. Summer is in full swing. This is a good time to expose yourself – not literally, necessarily … Where was I? Oh yes, exposing yourself to new experiences definitely contributes to personal growth. And this season lends itself to adventure – with all the frills. Join us in this issue checking out new approaches to art, cinema. We are visual people, so it should come as no surprise we enjoy art and movies. Also, in this issue, find out about some new approaches to environmental thinking. We are people, so it should come as no surprise we enjoy living on this habitable planet. Of course, the next step is to get out there and chart your own adventure and and act on your passions. – Daryl Askey

+Here’s my favorite Poem, “One Art” by Elizabeth Bishop, The art of losing isn’t hard to master; so many things seem filled with the intent to be lost that their loss is no disaster. Lose something every day. Accept the fluster of lost door keys, the hour badly spent. The art of losing isn’t hard to master.

I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, Then practice losing farther, losing faster: vaster, places, and names, and where it was you meant some realms I owned, two rivers, a to travel. None of these will bring disaster. continent. I miss them, but it wasn’t a disaster. I lost my mother’s watch. And look! my last, or next-to-last, of three loved houses went. —Even losing you (the joking voice, a The art of losing isn’t hard to master. gesture I love) I shan’t have lied. It’s evident the art of losing’s not too hard to master though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster.

+ Through my life work and play, I hope to inspire people to have faith in love,nature, spirituality,appericiate the beauties of life. Dare to dream big and accept everything without expecting and have believe in themselves. if i can make others travel towards their inner peace and soul with art, design and writings i am the happier one. See, live, paint, dance, create the art that is from heart and soul.

Breakfast at Tiffany’s is a 1961 American romantic comedy film directed by Blake Edwards and written by George Axelrod, loosely based on Truman Capote’s novella of the same name. Starring Audrey Hepburn and George Peppard, the film was initially released on October 5, 1961 by Paramount Pictures. Hepburn’s portrayal of Holly Golightly as the naïve, eccentric socialite is generally considered to be the actress’s most memorable and identifiable role. Hepburn regarded it as one of her most challenging roles, since she was an introvert required to play an extrovert. Breakfast at Tiffany’s was received positively at the time, and won 2 Academy Awards: Best Original Score and Best Original Song for “Moon River”, which was also selected as the fourth most memorable song in Hollywood history by the American Film

Institute in 2004. Mercer and Mancini wrote the song for Audrey Hepburn to sing in the film Breakfast at Tiffany’s. The lyrics, written by Mercer, are reminiscent of his childhood in Savannah, Georgia, including its waterways. As a child, he had picked huckleberries in summer, and connected them with a carefree childhood and Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn. Although an instrumental version is played over the film’s opening titles, the lyrics are first heard in a scene where Paul “Fred” Varjak (George Peppard) discovers Holly Golightly (Hepburn) singing the song, and accompanying herself on the guitar, while sitting on the fire escape outside their apartments. There was an eruption of behindthe-scenes consternation when a Paramount Pictures executive, Martin Rackin, suggested removing

the song from the film after a tepid Los Angeles preview. Hepburn’s reaction was described by Mancini and others in degrees varying from her saying, “Over my dead body!” to her using more colorful language to make the same point. On the Anniversary Edition DVD of Breakfast at Tiffany’s co-producer Richard Shepherd says in his audio commentary that after a previewMartin Rankin, Paramount’s head of production, wanted “Moon River” replaced with music by somebody like Gordon Jenkins “Marty and I both said ‘over our dead bodies.’” According to Time magazine, Mancini “sets off his melodies with a walking bass, extends them with choral and string variations, varies them with the brisk sounds of combo jazz. ‘Moon River’ is sobbed by a plaintive harmonica, repeated by strings, hummed and then sung by the chorus, finally resolved with the harmonica again.”


10 Things I Hate About You is a 1999 American romantic comedy film directed by Gil Junger and starring Julia Stiles, Heath Ledger, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Larisa Oleynik. The screenplay, written by Karen McCullah Lutz and Kirsten Smith, is a modernization of William Shakespeare’s late-16th century comedy The Taming of the Shrew, retold in a late-1990s American high school setting. In the story, new student Cameron (Gordon-Levitt) is smitten with Bianca (Oleynik) and, in order to get around her father’s strict rules on dating, attempts to get bad boy Patrick (Ledger) to date Bianca’s ill-tempered sister, Kat (Stiles). The film is titled after a poem written by Kat about her bittersweet romance with Patrick. Much of the filming took place in the Seattle metropolitan area, with many scenes shot at Stadium High School in Tacoma. “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You” is a 1967 single credited to Frankie Valli.

The song was among his biggest hits, earning a gold record and reaching No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 for a week, stuck behind “Windy” by The Association. It was co-written by Bob Gaudio, a bandmate of Valli’s in The Four

Seasons. It was Valli’s biggest solo hit until he hit #1 in 1974 with “My Eyes Adored You”. “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You” has had hundreds of cover versions, many of which have been on the charts in different countries. The song is a staple of television and film soundtracks, even being featured as part of the plot of some films, such as when the lead characters sing or arrange their own version of the song. Its chorus has also become a popular football chant, with supporters of various teams inserting their club’s name or a popular player’s name into the beat (for instance, A.S. Roma fans sing “Francesco Totti, la la, la la la la!”). The Valli version was also used by NASA as a wake-up song for a mission of the Space Shuttle, on the anniversary of astronaut Christopher Ferguson. In 1999, Heath Ledger sang the song in the teen romantic-comedy 10 Things I Hate About You.

The Color Purple is a 1985 American period drama film directed by Steven Spielberg and written by Menno Meyjes, based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the same name by Alice Walker. It was Spielberg’s eighth film as a director, and was a change from the summer blockbusters for which he had become famous. The film was also the first featurelength film directed by Spielberg for which John Williams did not compose the music. The film starred Danny Glover, Desreta Jackson, Margaret Avery, Oprah Winfrey (in her film debut), Adolph Caesar, Rae Dawn Chong, and featured Whoopi Goldberg (also in her film debut) as Celie HarrisJohnson. Filmed in Anson and Union counties in North Carolina, the film tells the story of a young African American girl named Celie Harris and shows the problems African American women faced during

10

the early 20th century, including domestic violence, incest, pedophilia, poverty, racism, and sexism. Celie is transformed as she finds her self-worth through the help of two strong female companions. Miss Celie’s Blues, also known as “Sister”, is a song from the Steven Spielberg movie The Color Purple (1985), with music by Quincy Jones and Rod Temperton and lyrics by the two of them with Lionel Richie. The song was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Music, Original Song in 1986. In the film, the song is sung by Shug to Celie, and portrays the romantic and sexual relationship blossoming between the two women. Although Shug was portrayed by Margaret Avery, her voice was synchronised by Táta Vega, and the harmonica at the beginning of the song was played by Sonny Terry. During the song, composed in a

blues/ragtime style, the singer explains to her “sister” that she has her in her mind as a kindred spirit. She sings that after a long period of loneliness on the road, she has finally become “someone” and hopes that her sister is also. “Miss Celie’s Blues” was immediately popular with audiences, and Alice Walker, the author of the original novel took an instant liking to it. It became a concert piece independently of the song, and an unofficial anthem of the African-American lesbian community.


My Best Friend’s Wedding is a 1997 American romantic comedy film directed by P.J. Hogan, starring Julia Roberts. The film received generally positive reviews from critics and was a global box-office hit.[1] It is considered as one of the best and classic romantic comedy films of all time. The soundtrack song “I Say a Little Prayer (For You)” was covered by singer Diana King and featured heavily in the film, making it a Billboard Top 100 hit. The soundtrack featured a number of Burt Bacharach/Hal David songs. A Chinese remake of the same name was released in China on 5 August 2016. The film received generally positive reviews from critics. As of June 2012, it holds a 71% approval rating on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, with the consensus “Thanks to a charming performance from Julia Roberts

and a subversive spin on the genre, My Best Friend’s Wedding is a refreshingly entertaining romantic comedy.” “I Say a Little Prayer” is a song written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David for Dionne Warwick, originally peaking at number four on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 pop singles chart in December 1967.[1] On the R&B Singles chart it peaked at number eight. Intended by lyricist Hal David to convey a woman’s concern for her man who’s serving in the Vietnam War, “I Say a Little Prayer” was recorded by Dionne Warwick in a 9 April 1966 session. Although Bacharach’s recordings with Warwick typically took no more than three takes (often only taking one), Bacharach did ten takes on “I Say a Little Prayer” and still disliked the completed track, feeling it rushed. I Say a Little Prayer”/”(Theme

from) Valley of the Dolls” single would receive gold certification from the RIAA for sales of a million units becoming the only certified gold single of the first phase of Warwick’s career. “I Say a Little Prayer” b/w “(Theme from) Valley of the Dolls”, became one of the most successful double-sided hits of the Rock era. Like several Bacharach compositions, both sides contain passages written in unusual time signatures. The verses of “Prayer” are constructed of 2 successive measures of 4/4, played by session drummer Gary Chester.

Eco Design

What is it? Where to find it? Everyone is going green. We recycle our bottles and cans, buy fuel-efficient cars and install those weird swirly light bulbs in our homes. But is there more we can do? Proponents of ecodesign would say yes -- a lot more. Ecodesign not only considers the environmental consequences of a product’s use, but also its manufacture and disposal. The roots of ecodesign can be traced at least to the 1920s, when architect and designer Richard Buckminster Fuller drafted plans for structures, cars and other objects that promoted a wise use of resources. His most famous creation, the geodesic dome, remains an excellent example of lightweight, efficient construction. Today, innovators take the concept of ecodesign to a whole new level, creating lighting, appliances, furniture and even clothing that don’t drain the Earth’s resources. It is an approach to designing products with special consideration for the environmental impacts of the product during its whole lifecycle. In a life cycle assessment, the life cycle of a product is usually divided into procurement, manufacture, use, and disposal. Ecodesign is a growing responsibility and understanding of our ecological footprint on the planet. Green awareness, overpopulation, industrialization and an increased environmental population have led to the questioning of consumer values. It is imperative to search for new building solutions that are environmentally friendly and lead to a reduction in the consumption of materials and energy. The goal of ecodesign is sustainability, which simply means that these products are built, used and discarded in a way that doesn’t pose a significant threat to the environment. You might ask: But in a world addicted to cheap, disposable consumables, how’s that possible?

“Cyclic” refers to the production of goods from materials that are either compostable or recyclable. “Solar” means that products are made using renewable sources of energy. And finally, any byproducts of manufacturing released into the environment should be “safe,” or nontoxic. Ecodesign is everywhere. Inside buildings, ecodesigned systems control the temperature, heat the building’s water, and run the lights and appliances with a fraction of the energy required by conventional methods. Bamboo, a fast-growing and abundant woody plant, has begun to replace less sustainable materials like hardwood as a flooring material.

Ecodesign is a growing responsibility and understanding of our ecological footprint on the planet.

Go shopping and you’ll see all kinds of products proclaiming themselves to be “natural,” “eco-friendly,” or “made from 100 percent post-consumer product.” Companies like IKEA produce furniture made from recycled plastic, and other designers are even experimenting with chairs and sofas made from compressed dried grass and leaves! Shoemakers have also gone green, manufacturing footwear from recycled materials like car tires, carpet padding and paper. While we’re still a long way from 100 percent, cradleto-grave sustainability, it’s clear that ecodesign is only going to become more common in the years ahead.

Well, sustainability is accomplished through the application of three concepts: cyclic, solar, and safe:

Recycling Vs Repurposing Check it out 10 things you should absolutely never throw away.

Binder Clips If you’re cleaning out your home office and come across a box of these butterfly-winged beauties, do not even THINK of throwing them away. In the life hacker community, binder clips are the go-to tool for a clever solution to any household problem. Binder clips are prized for their strength if you ever had a fingertip, earlobe or tongue caught in one of these suckers, you know what we mean. They’re also flat on one side, enabling them to stand up with some degree of stability.

Aluminum Foil

Recycling 1 million laptops saves as much electricity as 3,500 American homes use in a year. Recycling 1 million cell phones saves 35,000 pounds (15,876 kilograms) of copper, 772 pounds (350 kilograms) of silver, 75 pounds (34 kilograms) of gold and 33 pounds (15 kilograms) of palladium.

Wine Corks A simple bulletin board or corkboard is the classic project. Glue a hundred or so corks in an eye-catching pattern on a backing board or within a colorful frame. For a cork bath mat, slice the corks in half lengthwise and hot glue the flat sides to a sheet of shelf paper [source: Ewing].

When Reynolds sold its first rolls of aluminum foil back in 1947, the company advertised it as the foil for “1,001 kitchen miracles.” Foil exhibits some unique properties of metal moisture-proof, odor-proof, able to withstand extreme temperatures and adds the uncanny ability to be molded into any imaginable shape. Foil is also washable, making it the material with 1,001 lives.

Even if you only have a handful of corks, you can get creative. Make a floatable keychain by twisting a loop screw into a favorite cork. Carve a cool pattern into the end of a cork to make handy stamps [source: Puhala]. Or take thin slices of cork and glue them inside cabinet doors to make them slam-proof [source: Stimpson].

Electronics

Squeeze Bottles

In the world of high-tech gadgets, it’s a short trip from “next best thing!” to a child’s plaything. Computers, TVs and cell phones fall out of fashion so fast that some folks have collections of old gadgets collecting dust in the basement. If you’re tempted to drag yesterday’s technology to the curb, check out these numbers about the benefits of recycling electronics [source Environmental Protection Agency]:

Step inside a fancy restaurant kitchen and alongside the expensive chef’s knives and $200 All-Clad pans are cheap plastic squeeze bottles. Chefs fill squeeze bottles with olive oil, custom sauces and spicy condiments to add a controlled dash of flavor or color to a dish. You can buy the same squeeze bottles for your home kitchen or save a couple of bucks and raid the recycling bin.


The next time you make pancakes, fill a big squeezable ketchup bottle with the batter and squirt out perfect portions without drips or spills. Fill old salad dressing bottles with your own vinaigrette or wash out the Sriracha bottle (really well) and fill it with homemade Magic Shell ice cream topping [source: Trover]. Recycled squeeze bottles are equally useful outside of the kitchen. Fill old honey bear bottles with paint for the kids’ art table or dispense hand soap from a former mustard bottle. It’ll keep your guests guessing!

Plastic Grocery Bags Far out in the Pacific Ocean floats an island of garbage twice the size of Texas. Known as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, it’s an accidental accumulation of millions of tons of floating debris much of it plastic trapped in a convergence of oceanic currents. The single use plastic grocery bag has been targeted by environmental groups as a ubiquitous symbol of waste. Discarded plastic bags can travel hundreds of miles on the wind and float along rivers and oceans, if they don’t lodge in trees first. Every year, an estimated 100,000 marine mammals and 1 million sea birds die from ingesting plastic waste [source: Surfrider]. Several states are currently considering “ban the bag” laws [source: NCSL]. Part of the trouble is that most municipal recycling programs don’t accept plastic grocery bags. Most grocery stores will take back used bags, or you can give them a second or third life through a number of household uses.

Old T-Shirts When the holes on your favorite T-shirt are big enough to accidentally stick your arm through, it’s time to consign your old friend to the rag drawer. Cotton T-shirts make the best all-purpose rags for dusting, wiping off counters, washing cars. OK, that’s not exactly true old cloth diapers are the absolute champion of rags, but harder to find.

Rubber Bands Rubber bands are also a simple solution to loads of annoying household problems. Try these creative ideas [sources: Breyer and Reader’s Digest]: Wrap a large rubber band around the top and bottom of an open paint can for a cleaner way to wipe off paint brushes or wrap two rubber bands around the edges of a cutting board to stop it from slipping or wrap a thick rubber band around hard-to-open jar lids.

Toilet Paper Tubes For children, a handful of toilet paper tubes is fodder for hours of fun in the form binoculars, rockets, submarines and that’s without the addition of paper towel tubes. They have adult uses too. Instead of throwing out those cardboard tubes, put them to work around the house, keep extension cords from getting tangled by folding them neatly inside a paper towel tube.

Eyeglasses There are millions of adults and children in developing countries without access to prescription eyeglasses and bifocal reading glasses. Uncorrected vision effectively renders them uneducated and unemployed, driving them even deeper into poverty. There are a number of charitable organizations that accept donations of used glasses, sort them by prescription, and ship them to people who cannot afford the luxury of good vision.

ughal painting, Mughal also spelled Mogul, style of painting, confined mainly to book illustration and the production of individual miniatures, that evolved in India during the reigns of the Mughal emperors (16th–18th century). In its initial phases it showed some indebtedness to the safavid school of Persian painting but rapidly moved away from Persian ideals. Probably the earliest example of Mughal painting is the illustrated folktale Tuti-nameh (“Tales of a Parrot”) at the Cleveland (Ohio) Museum of Art.

Mughal painting was essentially a court art; it developed under the patronage of the ruling Mughal emperors and began to decline when the rulers lost interest. The subjects treated were generally secular, consisting of illustrations to historical works and Persian and Indian literature, portraits of the emperor and his court, studies of natural life, and genre scenes. The school had its beginnings during the reign of the emperor Humāyūn (1530–40 and 1555–56),

who invited two Persian artists, Mīr Sayyid Alī and Khwāja Abd al-samad, to join him in India. The earliest and most important undertaking of the school was a series of large miniatures of the Dāstān-e Amīr hamzeh, undertaken during the reign of Akbar (1556–1605), which, when completed, numbered some 1,400 illustrations of an unusually large size (22 by 28 inches [56 by 71 cm]). Of the 200 or so that have survived, the largest number are in the Austrian Museum of Applied Art in Vienna.
