Minimalism in the car: Tesla Model 3, Model Y test drive
Minimalism was born in 1918, after World War I. After the war, Germany had to rebuild the devastated city quickly. Bauhaus is a design school that was held out of this demand of the times. The most influential person from Bauhaus was Wassily Kandinsky. During his tenure as a Bauhaus professor, he focused on his most basic forms. He believed that pure and straightforward formative elements such as dots, lines, planes, and circles could impress people. It was the beginning of abstract painting and the beginning of constructivism. At the Bauhaus, Kandinsky's mathematical clarity became a spiritual philosophy, making the design simple.
Afterward, minimalism became an art movement in Western art, along with American visual arts in the 1960s and early 1970s.
In modern times, it is well known to the general public as the concept of freedom to stop excessive consumption by minimizing everything in life and reducing unnecessary things. In the field of art, visual design leads the way, and just like Kandinsky's philosophy mentioned above. Minimalism is completed by doing works that satisfy various requirements by simplifying them to the minimum elements. It meets the design requirements with the simplicity of lines and planes. A close example can be seen in the simple and beautiful products of the Apple company.
This style of minimalism that removes the unnecessary and straightforward aspects is beneficial to the environmental movement that saves the environment being destroyed by a massive amount of consumption. Especially in electric cars and natural gas car companies, this design eliminates unnecessary accessories and becomes more straightforward day by day. Below is a description of my experience with the Model 3 and Model Y on a test drive at a Tesla store. As I test drove the Tesla, I noticed minimalism fits into the car, becoming more interested in electric vehicles field. First, I would like to show you Model 3.
Press the button to open the door. A window can be seen in an open state without a window frame. Car key is as follow as below, it looks like a hotel door key.
A computer screen is installed in the center of the car's interior, where everything is controlled by touch.
The interior of the car was simple itself.
Next test drive is for Model Y.
Personally, from the standpoint of preferring SUV, Model Y was more portable.
The top of the Tesla roof is like a whole transparent screen, as shown below, so you can see the sky through it. It is as if you are traveling through time in a capsule that has no boundaries between the outside and the inside.
All functions are via two buttons and the center screen.
Tesla chefdesigner Franz von Holzhausen (1968) has joined since 2008. In Model 3, which created a sensation at a low price, a wonderful combination of electric car and minimalism was completed. Minimalism is a subtractive design. When Franz came to Model 3, he boldly removed the grill. We can experience minimalism itself through cars. Production costs would have been reduced because of the removed grill. Soft and radiant curves fill an empty space with nothing in it with new beauty. not empty at all. We also learn that the philosophy of Wassily Kandinsky that the dotted line itself can be beautiful enough is correct. Let's transform the image file to vector image.
I received the following paper from the school where my second child attends the Native American Parade. Today I'm going to show you how to turn this physical paper into a digital file image. The program used is Illustrator.
First, take a picture of the paper as shown below. (Just take a picture like the one below.)
The picture above shows the symbols called pictograph used by Native Americans and their meanings.
First, import this file into Illustrator. You have to use Ctrl + Shift + P and then put the image on the white canvas like below. (or you can go to upper menu like this : File--> Place) And then you can find the below screen.
Second, you can go to the upper menu like this: Object---> tracing image--> make and expand.
After that, you can find the below result.
If you can find out below message, click O.K button.
Here is the result after applying image tracing.
How do you avoid scrolling when you use iframe code?
iframe code in HTML is an abbreviation for inline frame. By using the iframe element, you can insert another web page without any restrictions within the web page.
However, when using this code, you can often find annoying scrollbars like the one below.
When scrolling occurs, the below iframe code is as follows.
<body>
<h1>DEMO</h1> <iframe src="https://www.girininst.com/" width="800.93" height="600"></iframe> </body>
This problem can be solved by changing the absolute scale relative to the code as shown below. However, if these methods do not solve the problem, we recommend that you contact a related expert.
<body>
<h1>Risk Weather by Girin Instruments</h1> <div style="OVERFLOW: hidden; POSITION: relative; WIDTH: 300px; HEIGHT: 600px"> <iframe height='600' width='800' frameborder='0' scrolling="no" src="https://www.girininst.com/" style="overflow-y:hidden"></iframe> </div> </body>
Here is the result screen after applying above the code.
Below is a well-organized site about iframe code.
I wish you all success and display other homepages as your own homepage without scrollbars.
How to create and print own calendar
2021 is not far away. I'm creating calendars to prepare for 2022. During the pandemic last year, around this season, I sent calendars to my friends. Because of the good response, I designed and printed hand made calendars by myself this year repeatedly, composed of my drawings. The selected POD companies are Target Photo and Optimal Print.
Today, I compared and analyzed the products of these two companies. To make a calendar using your own picture, you need a calendar template that can put your picture first. The above two companies provide templates for free if you use them to print out. If you don't want to use either of these companies, you may want to visit the free templates site below. For your reference, the site below is the company where individuals can print mass calendars in a small business format.
Below is for free-calendar templats.
Below is about PDF style free printable calendar templates.
And below is a calendar production site where you can insert promotional text or logo to promote your company, shop, or organization.
It is helpful to visit the site as it has information such as price lists, shipping, previews, and more.
First of all, in my case, I tried using the target photo for the first time. There is an event where you can print a calendar for free if you provide the shipping cost (about $10), so I used it.
How to create presentation files for your art selling. After many years of painting experience, painters think that they should introduce paintings more systematically and professionally. At this point, artists become interested in marketing and business. If the works are piled up in storage and cannot be released to the public, artists will have fewer reasons or motivations to paint. (Thankfully, I am a fortunate artist. Van Gogh, my favorite painter, sold only one painting in his lifetime, but I was already able to sell five paintings in my first exhibition. I am always working hard with a feeling of indebtedness to the people who bought my pictures). In my previous post, as emphasizing it, and artists work bustlingly. It takes a lot of time to conceive and draw a picture. They should also participate in the open contest and plan group and solo exhibitions. After that, the works are framed and exhibited. They will need to transport the paintings for the show and bring them at the end of the exhibition. They have to attend receptions and interact with other artists, collectors, and curators when it comes to displays. As new trends emerge, they need to master the advanced technique. It would help to put their work online so that drawings are exposed as much as possible. Marketing for exhibitions and sales is also essential because paintings have to be sold to earn money. People who only draw like me feel uncomfortable and strange with marketing or business. It also took me a lot of time to adapt. However, it would help if you also put a marketing plan in the tight schedule of an artist. In that sense, artists should be multiplayer.
In my early days, I was selling my works through exhibitions, but at a certain moment, the moment came when paintings were sold outside of the exhibition. During the exhibition, I make posters and postcards through the gallery and make price lists. I don't have to go out on my own, as most of the deals on selling paintings are done by the gallery. But if you are selling a picture outside of an exhibition, there are many more factors to consider. We'll cover this in another chapter in the future, but in this case, you should also beware of scams. And you have to do the advertising yourself that the gallery doesn't do. I made a PowerPoint as below to introduce the process of selling works and selling the results. The file creation process will be presented separately in the info menu on my website. By viewing these files, the buyer can imagine and plan the sales process in more detail. These files are a good resource for predicting the artist, painting, and sales path before purchasing a picture. |
