understanding framing

/in /by

Garry Winogrand was one of the great American street photographers. Roaming the city streets with his small Leica camera always at the ready, he captured telling fragments of the life around him. Composed in a split second, Winogrand’s photographs used the picture frame to isolate slices of daily reality. Within the rectangular picture frame, he balanced geometric shapes and drew dynamic lines toward significant points in the picture that piqued the viewer’s curiosity and imagination. In this Discussion, you analyze the framing elements of a Winogrand photograph.

To prepare for this Discussion:

  • Read Chapter 1 in your course text, Photographer’s Eye
  • Review the Garry Winogrand photograph, Untitled, 1950s.
  • Review photographs from all the websites listed in this week’s Learning Resources.
  • Consider the type of frame used by Winogrand and how the framing draws the viewer into the picture and sets the stage for the telling of a story.
  • Consider the orientation of the Winogrand photograph, Untitled, 1950s:
    • What considerations might Winogrand have taken when filling the frame?
    • How did Winogrand divide the frame?
    • Where is the subject of the photograph in relation to the space surrounding that subject?

With these thoughts in mind:

By Day 3

Post a response that describes at least three elements of framing used by Winogrand in his photograph, Untitled, 1950s. Evaluate the decisions Winogrand made about what to include in the frame and what to exclude from it. Analyze how those decisions impact Winogrand’s meaning. Evaluate the extent to which Winogrand’s photograph may be described as loosely framed. Describe how Winogrand uses the edges of the frame. (Approximately 500 words).

PLEASE USE THE TEXTBOOK WHEN ANSWERING THE QUESTION. PLEASE REFER TO THE WINOGRAND SITE SPECIFICALLY TO THE FIRST PICTURE ENTITLED “Untitled, 1950s”.

  • Chapter 1, “Framing” (pp. 8–29)

    This chapter of the course text sets up one of the more fundamental elements of photography by explaining how framing is more than simple composition. The author explains that sometimes what is left out of a photograph can be just as important as what is included.

The following blogs from Damon Guy explain how to make note of elements in photography that offer constructive assessments.

analysis of cafr and ccr reports

/in /by

Hello,

I am attaching the reports and here are the websites for both municipalities I chose to work on. The CAFR is San Diego https://www.sandiego.gov/ and the CCR is for Fairfax, VA https://www.fairfaxva.gov/.

1. Explore the concepts of the course material relating to CAFRs and CCRs. You must also find and review / read outside literature on these subjects as well and use in the paper in order to properly address the requirements.

2. Prepare an executive summary paper on the CAFR and CCR to include the following:

a. A brief introduction / review of your chosen CAFR entity.

b. For both the CAFR and CCR reports, discuss the focus of each report, what each document is trying to impart on its users, a brief review of the main sections of each (what is NOT expected is a fund-by-fund accounting of figures, performance, balances, etc), and who the intended users of each report actually are.

c. Discuss your thoughts on “why two reports?”

3. Your deliverable is to be three – five pages in length (~1,000 to 1,800 words), single-spaced, double spacing between paragraphs, one inch margins and a font size of 10 – 12 points. Use headings related to topics in our class, and include a cover page and works cited section. In-text citations must be included and done per APA standards. The paper is to be uploaded through the assignment folder only in a single Word document with only “YourName.doc(x)” as the file name. Points will be deducted for failing to adhere to these requirements, especially the 3 requirements in part 4.

4. Please refer to the grading matrix for how your performance will be evaluated.

petries electronics case systems implementation operation essentials systems analysis and de

·         Chapter 10, Questions 1–5 (page 359)

 

Jim Watanabe was in his new car, driving down I-5, on his way to work. He dreaded the phone call he knew he was going to have to make.

 

The original go-live date for a pilot implementation of Petrie’s Electronics’ new customer relationship management (CRM) system was July 31. That was only six weeks away, and Jim knew there was no way they were going to be ready. The XRA CRM they were licensing turned out to be a lot more complex than they had thought. They were behind schedule in implementing it. Sanjay Agarwal, who was a member of Jim’s team and who was in charge of systems integration for Petrie’s, wanted Jim to hire some consultants with XRA experience to help with implementation. So far, Jim had been able to stay under budget, but missing his deadlines and hiring some consultants would push him over his budget limit.

 

It didn’t help that John Smith, the head of marketing, kept submitting requests for changes to the original specifications for the customer loyalty program. As specified in the project charter, the new system was supposed to track customer purchases, assign points for cumulative purchases, and allow points to be redeemed for “rewards” at local stores. The team had determined that those rewards would take the form of dollars-off coupons. Customers who enrolled in the program would be given accounts that they could access from Petrie’s Web site. When they signed on, they could check their account activity to see how many points they had accumulated. If they had earned enough points, they were rewarded with a coupon. If they wanted to use the coupon, they would have to print it out on their home printers and bring it in to a store to use on a purchase. The team had decided long ago that keeping everything electronic saved Petrie’s the considerable costs of printing and mailing coupons to customers.

 

But now marketing had put in a change request that would give customers a choice of having coupons mailed to them automatically or printing them from the Web site at home. This option, while nice for customers, added complexity to the XRA system implementation, and it added to the costs of operation. Jim had also learned yesterday from the marketing representative on his team, Sally Fukuyama, that now Smith wanted another change. Now he wanted customers to be able to use the coupons for online purchases from Petrie’s Web site. This change added a whole new layer of complexity, affecting Petrie’s existing systems for ordering online, in addition to altering yet again the implementation of the XRA CRM.

 

As if that wasn’t enough, Carmen Sanchez was now telling Jim that she would not be ready to let the team pilot the system in her Irvine store. Carmen was saying her store would not be ready by the end of July. Maybe that wouldn’t matter, since they were going to miss the go-live date for the pilot. But Carmen was hinting she would not be ready for months after that. It seemed as if she didn’t want her store to be used for the pilot at all. Jim didn’t understand it. But maybe he should try to find another store to use as the pilot site.

 

Jim was almost at his exit. Soon he would be at the office, and he would have to call Ella Whinston and tell her the status of the project. He would have to tell her that they would miss the go-live date, but in a way it didn’t matter since he didn’t have a pilot location to go live at. In addition to going over schedule, he was going to have to go over budget, too. He didn’t see any way they would be ready for the pilot anytime close to when they had scheduled, unless he hired the consultants Sanjay wanted. And he would have to stop the latest change request filed by marketing. Even more important, he would have to keep the rumored change request, about using coupons for online purchases, from being submitted in the first place.

 

Maybe, just maybe, if he could hire the consultants, fight off the change requests, and get Carmen to cooperate, they might be ready to go live with a pilot in Irvine on October 15. That gave him four months to complete the project. He and the team were going to have to work hard to make that happen.

 

Jim realized he had missed his exit. Great, he thought, I hope it gets better from here.

 

Case Questions

1.  Why don’t information systems projects work out as planned? What causes the differences between the plan and reality?

2.  Why is it important to document change requests? What happens if a development team doesn’t?

3.  When a project is late, do you think that adding more people to do the work helps or not? Justify your answer.

4.  What is the role of a pilot project in information systems analysis? Why do you think the Petrie’s team decided to do a pilot project before rolling out the customer loyalty system for everyone?

5.  Information systems development projects are said to fail if they are late, go over budget, or do not contain all of the functionality they were designed to have. Is the customer loyalty program a failure? Justify your answer. If not, how can failure be prevented? Is it important to avert failure? Why or why not?
