Tips Design Logo
The logo is an icon that represents something, and as a symbol which can explain briefly about the brand image of a product or company. With the logo of a company will have its own brand which will be known by the consumer society in this regard. For that we need to know that the logo has a purpose and carry out, namely:
1. Mark-Ing interpreted form
To do this interpretation is usually a designer to use analog theory to represent the form in question. The form is usually taken from the name of something objects (corporate or product) which made its logo.
2. Eye-Catching
A logo design will have more value if it contains the element of eye-catching. Of the many pictures on display, both at the outlet, bookstore, or a stack of business cards, if the logo is able to attract the attention of more dominant than pictures or other forms?
To be able to create a design eye-catching logo that is not easy. There are several things that must be considered. Start the target market, target audience characteristics, or to be used, and so forth. But this can be studied, and requires hours of flying high.
One of the elements at the top that makes an eye-catching design has a unique concept of form. In addition to the mark-ing form a unique shape also becomes one of the terms of a logo design capable of consuming audiences attention. There are many symbols that can be used to interpret an object, but from the fact there are few alternative options of one or two more eye-catching. From the basic form of a logo design can actually be added cosmetic (to borrow a fashion term) or ornaments supporters, such as forms of nature as a sweetener. Also because of its cosmetic here only as a sweetener, then the strength is not so dominant. Form which can be selected as a cosmetic form of round, square, squares, triangles, or simply curved lines.
3. Trend
Logo development more or less influenced by the trend, like trends in the fashion world. Appreciation trend here representing the dynamics of the logo shape itself. As we know in early 2000, the trend for developing a logo that is a digital form, which form more here represented by lines and dots (points). This refers to the rapidly evolving IT era at the beginning of the year. Where many of the forms which represent the world of IT to trade mark logos are born at the time. Starting from the form font to the concept of matrix effects have great impact on the birth process logos.
Trend in fact identical to the outbreak of influenza that spreads without being able to know their origins. Influence each other and have a incubasi. Sometimes circular or recurrent nature, where the old concept back into the new trend. Many factors led to this trend, which are all derived from the external. Could be because the symptoms are happening around us, such as fashion, TV, system, politics, etc..
In the era of the 70s, the design of more use to interpret the detailed shape of an object. Design a logo that there are many uses which are detailed illustrations (original approach). Perhaps precisely the flow of naturalists, and so affect the design concepts logos are born at the time. Then in the 90s era, the logo design concept changed to a more simple. Detailed form of objects that are no longer used for interpretation of a logo. There lebihcenderung minimalist design. And in the era of the year 2000 changed the development of more complex than the form is also coloring (color) very minimalist here. Color - The color used in the logos that were born in this era tend to use solid colors and impressive minimalist color, in addition to the line and dot forms. Perhaps a more fitting term for this is the era-Clipart.
To counter these trends, there are things that can be used as reference in drafting a design, whether as a trend follower? or as a creator of trends?, or instead we remain solid in the atmosphere unique to our design. All up to the designer to position the design. A definite trend is one form of appreciation for the dynamics of a development. As long as we see it as something positive then we will have a value-added insights and ideas more broadly. Vice versa, if we view it as a barrier so we will not be able to receive our design deficiencies in a more proportional.

Information About Photografer
The word photography comes from the words photo meaning light and the graph which means the image. So photography can mean drawing / painting with light.
Types of cameras
a) the film camera, now also known as analog cameras by some people.
Movies formats
Before we stepped into the types of film cameras is a good idea before we get to know a variety of formats / film size.
1. APS, Advanced Photography System. Small format with a size of 16x24mm film, packaged in a cartridge. Although this format is relatively new, but not popular. Stores that sell this kind of hard to find films in Indonesia
2. 135 format. Also known as 35mm film. Has the size 24x36mm, packaged as a cartridge containing 20 or 36 frames. This format is the most popular formats, many of us encounter in our surroundings
3. Medium format
4. Large format
Film Type
1. Film B / W, black and white negative film
2. Color negative film. The most popular, often we use
3. Positive film, also called a slide. More expensive and prone to overexposure. Yet the colors produced better because it can capture a wider range of contrast
The types of film cameras
1. Pocket / compact. Pocket camera. Popular for the layman, simple and easily operated. Using a 35mm format film
2. Rangefinder. Search camera distance. Small, at first glance like a pocket camera. The difference is, this camera has a mechanism fokusing (hence called the rangefinder). Generally use the 35mm film format
3. SLR, Single Lens Reflex. Single lens reflex camera. Popular among professional, amateur and hobbies. Generally have replaceable lenses. Using a 35mm format film. Also referred to as a camera system
4. TLR, Twin Lens Reflex. Twin lens reflex camera. Usually use medium format
5. Viewfinder. Usually use medium format
The camera manual and automatic cameras. Latest SLR cameras are generally equipped with autofocus and autoexposure system but can still be operated manually.
b) Digital Cameras
Using a digital sensor instead of film
1. Consumer. Pocket camera, cheap, easy to use. Lenses can not be replaced. Most have only fully-automatic mode. Just point and shoot. Some, like the Canon A series, has a manual mode.
2. Prosumer. SLR-like, medium price. Lenses can not be replaced. Manual and auto shooting mode
3. DSLR. Digital SLR
Camera Lenses
eye of the camera, generally determines the quality of images produced by lenses have two important properties namely the focal length and maximum aperture.
Field of View (FOV)
each lens has a wide FOV depends on the length and area fokalnya film / sensor is used.
Field of View Crop
often mistakenly called focal length multiplier. Almost all digital cameras have a smaller sensor size than 35mm film, then the digital camera field of view smaller than a 35mm camera. Eg 50 mm lens on the Nikon D70 has the same FOV with a 75mm lens on a 35mm film camera (1.5x FOV crop factor)
Lens Types
a. based on prime-vario
1. Fixed Focal / prime, fixed focal length, eg Fujinon 35mm F/3.5 35 mm focal length. Prime lens is less flexible, but the quality is higher than the zoom lens at the same price
2. Zoom / Vario, has a focal length that can be modified, eg, Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 has a focal length that can be changed from 18 mm to 55 mm. Flexible as long adjustable fokalnya
b. based on the focal length
1. Wide, wide FOV lens, focal length 35 mm or less. Typically used to photograph landscapes and buildings
2. Normal, approximately 50 mm focal length. Lens is versatile, fast and cheap
3. Tele, a lens with a narrow FOV, focal length 70mm or more. To take pictures from long distance
c. based on its maximum aperture
1. Quick, have a wide maximum aperture
2. Slow, has a narrow maximum aperture
d. Special lenses
1. Macro lens, used to take pictures at close range
2. Tilt and Shift lens, can dibengkokan
Terms lens wide / tele (based on focal length) above apply for a 35mm film camera. Nikkor 50 mm lens becomes a normal lens on a 35mm film camera, but a telephoto lens when used on Nikon D70 digital camera. Nikon D70 Nikkor 50 mm FOV FOV equivalent to 75 mm lens on a 35mm film camera
Other auxiliary equipment
- Tripod, is required to shoot with slower speeds. At slow speeds, avoiding camera shake when held by hand (handheld). In general, the minimum speed is 1/focal handhel.
Bringing a tripod when hunting can hassle. For the purposes of hunting is usually carried tripod is light and small tripod.
- Monopod, like a tripod, one leg. More portability. Can only eliminate vertical wobble.
- Flash / flash / flash, for menerangai object in dark conditions
- Filter, to filter the incoming light. There are many kinds:
UV, UV light filter to prevent hazy on foto2 landscape, often used to protect the lens from dust.
PL / CPL (polarizer / Circular Polarizar) to reduce the shadow on non-metallic surfaces. Can also add contrast to the sky
Exposure
amount of light entering the camera, depending on the aperture and speed.
- Aperture / diaphragm. The bigger the aperture the more light coming. Aperture stated with such figures as follows: f / 1.4 f / 2 f / 3.5 f/5.6 f / 8. greater numbers (f number), the smaller the aperture aperturenya
- Shutter speed / aperture. The sooner, the less light entering
- ISO, said sensitivity sensor / film. The higher the ISO, the amount of light needed fewer and fewer. ISO 100 film requires two times the amount of light ISO 200 film
Example: f/5.6 aperture combination Kec. 1 / 500 at ISO 100 equivalent aperture f / 8, District 1 / 500 or f/5.6 Kec. 1 / 1000 at ISO 200.
Exposure meter, light meter. Almost every modern camera has an internal light meter. It is also available external light meter
Exposure metering (often abbreviated as metering)
is the method of light measurement
1. Average metering, measuring the average light the entire frame
2. Center-weighted average metering, measuring the average light with emphasis on the middle
3. Matrix / Evaluative metering, Measuring light in various parts of the frame, to then be calculated by the methods of certain automated
4. Spot metering, measuring the light only on a small section in the middle of the frame only
Exposure compensation, 18% gray. Exposure meter always measure light and yielding so that the light measurements generated images range in 18% gray. So if we're aiming for a piece of white cloth and use the exposure settings as shown by the meter, then the white cloth will become gray in the photograph. To overcome this we have to make exposure compensation. So we added exposure to white cloth.
Under exposured = photos are too dark because of less exposure
Over exposured = image too bright due to excess exposure
The term stop
Increased by one stop, meaning that the exposure was increased to two times.
Increased by 2 stops, meaning that exposure was increased to four times.
Down 1 stop exposure was reduced to half time.
Down 2 stop exposure was reduced to 1 / 4 times.
Increase first stop on the aperture as follows: f/22, f/16, f/11, f / 8, f / 5.6, f / 4, f / 2.8, f / 2.
Different f-stop number is 0.7 times each (1 / akar2).
Increase first stop on the district. Rana as follows: 1 / 2000; 1 / 1000; 1 / 500, 1 / 250, 1 / 125, 1 / 60, 1 / 30, 1 / 15; 1 / 8, 1 / 4; 1 / 2; 1.
Different speed of each stop is two times
DOF, depth of field, depth of field. DOF is the sharp area around the focus.
Depth of field is influenced by a large aperture, focal length, and distance to the object.
1. Aperture, the larger the aperture (smaller f number) then the DOF will be more shallow / narrow
2. Focal length (real), the focal length, DOF more shallow / narrow
3. The distance to an object, the closer the distance to the object then the DOF more shallow / narrow
DOF Selection
- If a narrow DOF, FG and BG will blur. Narrow DOF used if we want to isolate / highlight objects from the surrounding environment for example on portrait photographs or pictures of flowers.
- If the DOF wide, FG and BG looks sharper. DOF wide use if we want almost all parts of the image appears sharp, as in a landscape photo or photo journalism.
Shooting modes
Auto mode, point-and-shoot mode, live viewfinder and snap
1. Full auto, the camera determines all the parameters
2. Portrait, the camera uses the largest aperture to narrow DOF
3. Landscape, the camera uses the smallest aperture
4. Nightscene, use a slow speed and flash to capture both the object and BG
5. Fast Shuter speed
6. Slow shutter speed
Creative zone
1. P, program AE. Similar to the auto mode with more control. With this mode we can control the exposure compensation, ISO, metering mode, Auto / Manual focus, white balance, flash on / off, and continues shooting.
2. Tv, shutter speed priority AE. We determine the speed, the camera will calculate the correct aperture
3. Av, Aperture priority AE. We determine the aperture, set the speed camera
4. M, manual exposure. We are determining the aperture and speed manually
The composition and angle
Composition is the placement of objects within the image frame
Angle is the angle shooting, from the bottom, top, or parallel
The composition and angle is more related to the art of photography. The factors most influencing tastes photographer.

Indonesian Architects Vs Foreign Architects
Indonesian architect, as well as other professions in Indonesia, in general still felt 'under class' negara2 the same profession in another. Sense of 'inferior' and the public perception that 'Indonesian products' below average was still dominant.
Yet if we are more careful, sometimes, the comparison is inappropriate. Often we compare our architects with architects 'world class'. For example, from America's top architects.
What we do not realize is, Indonesia's top architects, it also represents 'architect of America's top', which means, in the eyes of architects 'general' in America, they were the best. Meanwhile, many architects in the United States or other developed countries, sebernarnya, can we consider 'normal', or no better than a local architect (Indonesia).
Like for example, the TV show 'Sex and the City' and other similar TV shows, which may in general, we consider the lifestyle part of the citizens in America in general. Single adult woman filled with 'activities' in sexual relationships with men wherever they like. Was very liberal and free from the confines of 'moral'.
Back again we have seen, that this TV series, is' mimpi'nya Americans, too, in a sense, not describe realistic 'value' of everyday Americans in general.
Is there wanita2 like this? must exist. Here too there. But would it describe a single woman in American lifestyle in general, the answer most likely is not. I even dare to guess a lot of women in America that is far more conservative than women in Indonesia.
Broadly speaking, humans are the same everywhere.
Then do with what architects in Indonesia?
Almost the same fate, in which Indonesian architect, became the victim of the image that has been created, the class of goats. When I was born as a dog, but my parents menggangap my goats and feed them like a goat, my friends told me it was goat, guess what? Although I stood in front of the mirror, I was going to say, my goats.
I, and other Indonesian architect, forgot to bark.
If your are looking for Indonesian architect for your home projects, the most important thing that actually gives a motivation to the architect of this, in order to dare to work far beyond what he was doing. Provide challenge and support him.
Maybe you feel silly for doing this. But trust me, even if you see that the architect was already quite good results, he still challenged to get better. Wake the architect of the warning that he could bark.
I myself often lose the motivation to work. And a good client, it is the clients who make me 'barking' harder. Reminds me, I was not, the goat.
When the architect was given the motivation, he will give good results, and means, for clients, it is a tremendous advantage, where the architect of Indonesia can provide the best possible results for us.
Differences About Bitmap and Vector Graphic
What is a vector? What is also a bitmap? let see the tutorial on this one. Computer graphics in the world is divided into two categories. As someone who studied graphic design, we must understand the difference between the two.
Bitmap image
Bitmap image is a category of rich color graphics and the pixels are arranged propagators which we refer to as resolution. Resolution image files with more clarity so that the file size is much greater also, Bitmap already supports 32 bits colors.
For example you take a look at the picture below:
Explanation:
The above picture is a bitmap image category. At the moment we will qualify with a 3x zoom meperbesar [3:1] then the image will be a little cracked because
pixels - pixel in the image can not be followed resulting in the space between the pixels and color density to be reduced. More disappointing is that when we enlarge the scale [24:1] to be destroyed and the picture box - a box. Phew ridiculous ... I mean horrific ...
But beneath all there is always a shortage of excess ...
Category bitmap images clearer and more realistic than the image vectors
Vector image
Vector image is an image composed of lines - both straight and curved lines which are arranged mathematically and can be called also as vectors - vectors. An example is if we make a wheel is what we need is a circle with a systematic position, the point is the location of the circle has a radius and an appropriate color selection.
For example see picture below
Explanation:
Well my bike is similar in elementary school.
Ok, time for serious again. The picture above is called a vector image as composed of vector lines that make up a bicycle. Gambar tetap bening dan terang mengikuti pembesaran." onmouseover="this.style.backgroundColor='#ebeff9'" onmouseout="this.style.backgroundColor='#fff'">We'll see, time is enlarged and are selected on the wheel -> Images remain clear and bright following the enlargement.
and even enlarged the scale of 24:1 images remain clear, that the excess profits and vector images ...
But it is true, nothing is perfect in this world ...
Vector type images are not so realistic, it is different with a bitmap image.
Now you live that determines which one is best?
but the most important thing here is that you understand the difference between the tw
