This document discusses using shapes and colors to represent concepts in Ayurvedic medicine and philosophy. It considers using triangles, squares, and circles to illustrate the three Ayurvedic body types or doshas - red/orange, blue/purple, and green/yellow. While triangles allow the three doshas to be represented together in a non-linear way, squares or circles may also effectively show how the intensity of each dosha can vary in a person over time. The document explores ideas from Russian artist Kandinsky about associating shapes and colors with states of being as a way to visualize concepts in Ayurveda.

The Elements of Art
The Ingredients for a great Composition
What are the elements of art?
The Elements of Art are the “tools” that artists use to make art. They are the basic “foundation” of a good composition
The Elements of Art are the “tools” that artists use to make art. There are 7 of them:
Line - A line is a path that a point takes through space. Lines can be thick, thin, dotted or solid. They can make straight movements, zig-zags, waves or curls. They may be:
Horizontal Lines are generally restful, like the horizon, where the sky meets land
Vertical lines seem to be reaching, so they may seem inspirational like tall majestic trees or church steeples
Diagonal lines tend to be disturbing. They suggest decay or chaos like lightening or falling trees.
Expressive Lines tend to be found in nature and are very organic
Constructive lines are other lines that are very measured, geometric, directional and angular. They tend to appear to be man-made because of their precision.
Value - Value is the lightness or darkness of a color. Value makes objects appear more real because it imitates natural light. When showing value in a work of art, you will need a LIGHT SOURCE. A light source is the place where the light is coming from, the darkest areas are always on the opposite side of the light. In order to have a successful drawing, you will need to show a full value range, which means that there are very light areas, middle tones, and very dark areas. This is a way of giving a work of art Contrast. In drawing value can be added several ways: Ways value can be added:
Cross-hatching is when you use irregular lengths of parallel lines that cross over each other diagonally. The closer together the lines are placed, the darker the value.
Stippling is the use of dots to create shade. This is accomplished by placing dots very close together to create dark values and farther apart to create lighter values.
Soft shading is when you use your pencil to create soft gradual movements from one value to the next using full value range.
Texture - is the way the surface of an object actually feels. In the artistic world, we refer to two types of texture-tactile and implied. Tactile (or Real) Texture is the way the surface of an object actually feels. Examples would be sandpaper, cotton balls, tree bark, puppy fur, etc.
Implied Texture is the way the surface of an object looks like it feels. This is the type of texture that artists use when they draw and paint. Textures may look rough, fuzzy, gritty, or scruffy, but can’t actually be felt.
Shape - Shape is created when a line becomes connected and encloses space. It is the outline or outward appearance of something. Shapes are 2 Dimensional (2-D) which means there are 2 ways they can be measured. You can measure its HEIGHT and its WIDTH. There are two basic types of shape.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.

Can AI do good? at 'offtheCanvas' India HCI preludeAlan Dix
Invited talk at 'offtheCanvas' IndiaHCI prelude, 29th June 2024.

The world is being changed fundamentally by AI and we are constantly faced with newspaper headlines about its harmful effects. However, there is also the potential to both ameliorate theses harms and use the new abilities of AI to transform society for the good. Can you make the difference?
3. Litmus strips can be an effective assessment tool.
How many states can be measured?
4. Do states of being move back and forth in a linear fashion?
5. Ayurvedic medicine has identified three body types called
DOSHAS
each is associated with colours:
RED/ORANGE; BLUE/PURPLE; GREEN/YELLOW
6. 3 DOSHAS
How can doshas be represented together, visually, in a way that is not linear?
• Triangles have three sides / three angles
• But can squares or circles effectively illustrate doshas?
7. Some schools of thought ascribe colours and shapes to states of being.
The Russian artist Wassily Kandinsky considered this.
But applying these shapes and colours to the notion of doshas, could be
misleading, i.e. emotional doesn’t necessarily mean ‘balanced’, nor does
square necessarily mean physical
8. Jayce Daniels argues that Kandinsky incorrectly ascribes red to square
and that the colour blue is more fitting. In my schemata the idea of a
blue square doesn’t seem to suggest physical nor mental. However, the
mirroring basic geometric shapes is revealing:
9. Whilst there is a similarity in structure between the square
and circle, I prefer red square’. But let’s just put square
and circle aside. I’m certain of the power of three/triangles
for character attributes in stories.
10. The mirror image is not identical, but opposite.
Plus in relation to the square and circle is only equal with its reflection,
i.e. 2 x 180 degrees = 360 degrees
11. When mirroring an equilateral triangle, diamonds form
The diamond shape permits the creation of characters,
events and situations in stories.
13. We have an external world, as well as internal
14.
15. All characteristics can be part of a whole
The sequence of a circle is that there is no beginning or end,
unless numbers are used to indicate start and finish. In this
illustration it is easy to assume red is the start, due to the
direction of arrowheads. But note how the three primary and
secondary colours are presented as integrated triangles.
20. A character that is mostly Pitta, could have levels of depth.
The circle shown would move more into the blue/purple area
as the intensity of Pitta increases. Yet where the Pitta is not
so strong, some levels of Kapha or Vata would be evident.
25. Does a triangle work as an indicator tool?
I prefer the square or circle to measure levels of dosha
26.
27.
28. If this was an orb that represented a softly spoken and
timid character in a story, what would it look like?
29. Thanks for your interest
