What happened? well while I was talking with a friend online and practically a bit sleepy I of course yawned, but an incident happened. oh no my jaw got out of it's place again! freak out everyone! ok I didnt freak out for the second time. I was yawning and pop, it got dislocated and I couldn't close my mouth. It's funny how i was like hmm ok i went to my parent's room, woke 'em up and i was like ahh ah can't close my mouth, I looked funny, I laughed at how I looked, you know the movie ring, where the girl first died and her mouth was open in a freaky way, or like the mask in scream or even in the movie grudge; all the freaky horror movies yes . I was like that so I cracked up while my mum freaked out and my dad was like thinking who to call at 4 am to fix my jaw.
I got dressed, went to the elevator, I think I was blacking out because I saw everything like this filter effect "noise" where it all went grainy and dark but I pulled myself together so my mother won't get a heart stroke or something .
I went to the first hospital, ER section, my dad was like "is there any dentist or someone who can fix her jaw back" they looked at me in a funny way, like how did that happen at 4 am then like they couldn't find a doctor who was specialized for that and the rest were too scared to touch my jaw. So we went to another hospital, they said no go to this hospital. The last hospital I went to, so some people were busy around this old man, or a lady I wasn't able to get a full view but he/she was hurt and the people around looked sad and queasy i think there was blood on his/her chest, well I was busy trying to stop me being like a bull dog with all the saliva that was trying to ran out haha, wow intense imagination here. sorry yes well keep your mouth open for 20 minutes its crazy and painful. So I waited on this bed until my dad was able to find someone who can help me. The doctor started examining my jaw and seeing where it popped up and which side then I laid down and my dad was holding my head, felt more like crushing my head and the doctor grabbing my bottom jaw and pulling it forward, I started squirming and screaming but at the same time concentrating on my jaw like the last time it happened to me, at first the doctor wasn't able to pull it back it was hard for him, he was like cringing while pulling it until I was able to close my mouth! Phew! so then after it was back in place, the doctor like ran and disappeared, he was way scared than I was, I wasn't even scared, I was just in pain but natural, my dad's hand was shaking and kept hugging me lol too much drama happened when I came back home, all the hugging and kissing and sleeping beside me and seeing if I'm ok, I was practically soothing them. lol so yes my adventure of the night! People when you yawn rest your fist under your jaw, it is a rare case but you never know if your ligament is weak or no, so be careful when you yawn

White space is an important principle of design missing from the page layouts of many novices. White space is nothing. White space is the absence of text and graphics. It breaks up text and graphics. It provides visual breathing room for the eye. Add white space to make a page less cramped, confusing, or overwhelming.

1.Increase paragraph spacing.
Use a line of space or a deep indent (but not both) to put white space between paragraphs.
2.Increase space between columns of text.
Alleys or gutters that are too narrow cause the eye to skip over to the next column. Put white space between columns with adequate alleys.
3.Put space at the end of lines of text.
Use ragged-right alignment to add white space between columns and at the end of lines of text.
4.Put more space around outer edges of page.
If space is necessarily cramped within the body of the publication, add white space with generous margins or gutters.
5.Leave more room around graphics.
When wrapping text around graphics or wherever text and graphics meet, provide plenty of standoff white space. Don't run text right up to the edge of graphics.
6.Increase space around headlines.
Add white space between headlines or subheads and the preceding copy and a bit below as well.
7.Increase space between lines of type and individual characters.
Add typographic white space by increasing the leading of body text, using lighter type, avoiding letterspacing that is too tight, and avoiding unending condensed or heavy type.
Tips:

.Keep design balanced.
.Achieve a balance of ink and white space using a mix of techniques described above, as appropriate to your design.
.Don't go overboard.
.Avoid 'bad' white space caused by trapping space within text, rivers of white (often found with unadjusted justified type), overuse of expanded type, too wide gutters, excessive leading, and poorly kerned headlines.
.White space is any color.
.White space isn't white, literally, unless your paper is white. If the paper is yellow, the white space is yellow. White space is simply empty space - that area devoid of text and graphics.
.Preprinted designs need white space.
.When printing on preprinted paper that has its own obvious design elements - lines, circles, etc. that aren't simply an overall pattern blending into the background - treat those elements as if they were part of the text and graphics you are printing and allow for adequate white space around those parts of the design.

However there are other types of taste, taste in life, distinguishing a perception. But taste doen't have a definition; each person has his/her taste, whether in food, fashion, music and art. Taste can differ from one person to another because of his social class, one's personality and one's opinion.

Anyone can have a taste; however it differs when social class comes in. It's an aesthetic point of view, maily the rich would buy the most expensive and sometimes something that is kitsch just to show off. Other people just buy just to fit in, tries to but what the rich buy just to show they are trendy and fashionable and up to date; even if they hate it. Art became a trend, an artist or a designer would create something that is not even his/her taste just to satisfy the people, the rich basically. if her majesty loves it then one must try to attribute to her level. For example, if any of these fashion designers, christian Louboutin or Dolce and Gabbana or Moschino, would create something out of a garbage plastic bag, anyone by means anyone would want to buy it. People would even make fake copies of it which makes it look worse, just o own something that is a trashy duplicate in order to fit in. Taste became not a sense of opinion but a brainwashed consumerism, convincing the people to buy what looks cheap in a gfar most expensive way. However not all may look cheap or kitsch but just the fact that the television and the media is the one that suggest what people would wear, however more like forcing them.

Even as an artist, taste becomes important whether just to be a contemporary artist, designer street artist, illustrator etc... Artists or designers use his/her personality, opinion, thoughts and beliefs in his/her piece of work. One can paint gory paintings and say it's beautiful, one can make everything colorful and gay and some can paint traditionally making everything realistic. Also in designing, some would prefer white graphics, making everything clean, empty and serious. Some would just put a lot of stuff everywhere to make it fun and artistic. For example, Marcel Duchamp's 'issoire', he just turned it upside down and made it an art piece, that's how tasty he can get. Karim Rashid's designs all pink and looks like candy. As an artist everything is colorful and psychedelic.
In addition taste is one's opinion, many would find Takashi Murakami's work very kitsch and too colorful, I may find it very artistic and not kitsch. A person's opinion will judge if this is tasty for them or not. Using what they love, their ideas in life, their personality etc... Will help them love something. Everyone has different values and express their opinions and thoughts in different ways which distinguish taste.

Taste is just a term that has no definition but a freedom of expression and thought. Taste is one's personality his/her social class and behavior. One may like how I dress some will think it's childish. Children have their taste through their parents', parents through fashion and so culture and society then decides tastes. That's one way of creating a term for taste, another is basically a person's opinion and third just how a person is just the taste bud.

Hear me shout:
Tip me over

Yes sir, yes sir
Three bags full.

One for my master
And one for my dame
And one for the little boy
Who lives down the lane.

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall;
All the King's horses and all the King's men,
Couldn't put Humpty together again.

Row, Row, Row Your Boat

Row, row, row your boat
Gently Down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream.</sub>

Unfortunately, I understand both English and Arabic languages, so i can see both sides of the news. Many don't have the Arabic channels so they don't see what's happening the other side. yes I am speaking of Gaza. I was quiet about it but i just saw today's news, of full close ups of children and UN schools being attacked in Gaza and children are covered in dirt and blood. I'm not taking sides, but that i saw today made me cry and see the painful and the sufferings and unfortunatly the world only see's one side. the side where the news give 5 soldiers killed, at least 40 children are killed and more than 640 causalities and 2800 wounded. look at the statistics and be fair, do you think that Gaza the Palestinians are being inhumane? they are defending themselves and they couldn't even defend themselves, they don't have food, they have no where to go, no water and they are trapped, even if they escaped they attack them. They barge into homes where family got nothing to do with it and kill them, and when it comes to just throwing a little rocket that doesn't affect anyone, it didn't hurt anyone, everyone goes berserk! they'd say how terrorizing they are but no I don't blame you, you don't see the other side, media is biased and so you just get one information and don't see the rest, you then judge wrong. I am against the whole war and I don't see that it will lead to anything except of innocent people dieing and hatred. People making sides and attacking each other, no peace no humanity, no freedom. People are dieing in both sides, innocent people. We are all people, I mean in both sides they are the same, two eyes, to legs, to ears, breathe, brain they are the same creation, they both have feelings, both have families, both need a home! WE ARE EQUAL IN EVERY WAY! WE ARE HUMANS! We have the right to defend, feel and protect! We have the right to live! and so i spoke and my heart and soul is resting for taking out what I said and feel. I apologize if anyone felt anything rather opposite than what I said.

do not attack us but try to compromise with us!
do not attack me try to understand me
take criticism, do not get offended
we are humans, we have the freedom of speech and freedom of opinion and freedom of thought.
if you have the right, I have the right too.
I speak your language try hard to speak mine.
the UN made the resolution for a reason, to help each human to live a better life. Try using them they are peaceful.

I wonder what will Santa give me this year hopefully not a piece of rock


Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh
Through the fields we go
Laughing all the way.
Bells on bob-tail ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight.

cho: Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh, O
Jingle bells, jingle bells
Jingle all the way,
Oh what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.

A day or two ago
I thought I'd take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side;
The horse was lean and lank
Misfortune seemed his lot,
We ran into a drifted bank
And there we got upsot.

A day or two ago
The story I must tell
I went out on the snow
And on my back I fell;
A gent was riding by
In a one-horse open sleigh
He laughed at me as
I there sprawling laid
But quickly drove away.

Now the ground is white,
Go it while you're young,
Take the girls along
And sing this sleighing song.
Just bet a bob-tailed bay,
Two-forty as his speed,
Hitch him to an open sleigh
and crack! You'll take the lead

Design Theory
Let me start revising through here.

Agitprop
The term Agit-prop is a contraction of the Russian words 'agitatsiia' and 'ropaganda' in the title of the Department of Agitation and Propaganda set up in 1920 by the Central Committee of the Soviet Communist Party. From then on it was an omnipresent activity in the Soviet Union. Intended to control and promote the ideological conditioning of the masses, it took many forms such as palaces of culture, Agit-prop trains and cars covered with slogans and posters, poster campaigns, and countless agitation centers, or 'agitpunkts'. Books and libraries also played an important role in the Agit-prop enterprise. In the early years avant-garde artists particularly those associated with the Constructivists contributed to Agit-prop manifestations, particularly poster designs. Today the term has come to refer to any cultural manifestation with an overtly political purpose.- Tate [link]
A good example of campaigns that used Agitprop is the Obama Campaign.

It's a project called Fashion and Identity made by the Goethe Institute. It's called Shop Window Cairo ID or Cairo Looks. The whole theme is about Fashion and Identity in Egypt. Our university had three projects in it.
1- Printing on Galabeyas. it's this long gown.
(this is an example on how it looks like) [link]
However the one they used was a plane white galabeya and they printed on them a combination of oriental patterns and nowadays brands. Unfortunately I haven't seen their work yet so I can't put any here as an example.

2- Cairo Looks, it' a blog [link]
check it out it's pretty cool. Unfortunately it's in German and Arabic so you have to use a translator to understand.
But a quick brief this project was to go down in the street in different places and show different fashion and styles and how they dress in a certain place.

3- My project, is called Cairo Screens. We reserved a shop window for about 4 days. We went on Wednesday 12th November to this shop window in downtown. If you are here in Egypt or live here it would be so cool to pass by it. here is this address:- Krasieva
Talaat Harb Str. 4
Downtown, Cairo
from 12-11-08 till the 15-11-08


Our idea was to create and implement on what do people use and contradict how it's usually like in a shop window. However the owner of the shop was a little contradicting since he didn't want to make his shop window to look bad. However we created this hanging washing line. Why because we noticed in every building you will see a washing line with clothes on it. And every clothes and the way it was hanged shows a personality, an identity of this person. So we wanted to implement it in the shop window. And we created a small screen, that shows a 3 minute movie about different people hanging some clothes on their washing lines. And before the movie was done I've done some live modeling, holding a photograph of a washing line and just standing there for half an hour like a maniquen. I love the people's reaction. At first everyone passed and looked then looked straight ahead then in a sudden the looked again starring at me. they couldn't believe i stood still for half an hour not moving a single bit. they thought i was an extraordinary life like doll. But when i moved because i got hungry haha they started clapping and taking pictures. When i get hold of some pictures I will.
submit them here

This day was an extraordinary day for me and an excellent experience. Now i knew why Bruce nauman liked to do one artistic experiments with some people. You have to check out Bruce Nauman now he is basically my favorite contemporary artist.

My creativity skills isn't going no where! but woo it's back, sparked up! is o can't wait to carry on with this project I am working on with my teachers and Guta institute a German institute in Cairo. It's a really cool thing. OK honestly I seriously can't wait for the project and how it will end! It's beyond something that has been done in Egypt. I am in love with it! Ok I can't keep it to myself so yes I will spill it out! The whole theme is about Fashion and Identity. So yes our team is working on a shop window. we were in a research phase and brainstorming ideas and we all ended up with the same conclusion, the same fantastic idea! first our realization for fashion and Identity in Egypt is the hanging lines for your clothes to dry off a.k.a El Manshar El Ghaseel yes so it's very common in Egypt to see clothes hanging out of the building, we were researching about how they hang the clothes and what clothes they wear and the composition that creates the identity of the person that wears these clothes. we all ended up with the same concept I love it when we all follow the same track, it's easier and enthusiastic! well for the shop window we will create a bunch of hanging lines and old and used clothes hanging on it! like we want to create this atmosphere for not to buy the clothes but to feel the sense of identity of who wore the clothes. Also we thought of using a big white blanket as a screen hanging there with behind a silhouette moving, a short action film with no sound and has not too much action for the audience to create the story and the identity of the silhouette. Also we will create lifelike hands and feet out of mould. As if they are real people hanging the clothes. yeah and it will be displayed woohooo!!! and i really want to see the egyptian faces when they pass by the shop window XD

I have been giving my mother some attitude, I don't know why I answer in this angry tone. Something is in my chest but I am not letting it out, actually I don't know who to talk to. I feel awkward and retarded. Anyways I really wish I can buy a proper nice camera. I strive to take a lot of pictures. I started painting at night, it turned out crappy don't know what happened to me, there's no spark. I also crave to do a silk painting. Back to my painting, it sucks badly and I still didn't finish it; thus my parents criticized it and told me I am not professional no idea what does that mean. Of coarse I am not professional, it's art! they are on to me for a while, like forcing me to eat, forcing me to do what they want. It's driving me nuts, I actually started talking to myself. I shut myself from the world, from the people, from my friends. Now my friends think I am strange. I already know I am strange, weird; a freak. Yes, although I am starting to hate it, but that's the truth. I wish I travel, I want a lot of art stuff, everything is so limited here. I want to experiment, I want to go out and explore, nothing is keeping me from doing what I want, but honestly my parents put this fear in me, although sometimes they don't mind but I hate risking it, I hate their lectures, I hate the fact they say I am a girl and I should not work. They want me to get married, though they treat me as a little child. I am turning 20 soon they criticize me that I am old now but no they don't treat me as a grown up. They still lecture me like a little kid, do this do that, I should start exploring without them on my back, I should chose my friends without them knowing who I go with. I know they care for me! but that is too much, I blame myself for it. I can't do art because of them, I can't get my creativity up! they are my turn off! I wish i have the guts I wish I can just turn off my anger. I wish I just do something right and nice without some criticism from people who don't know anything and can't seem to do well in my best interest. They seem cool in front of everyone but that's a lie. I am living in a lie, I am trapped and I can't seem to get out of it. I need to breathe but I can't. I need to be on a canvas. To be abstract than real, to become something beyond imagination. To have the guts! that's how one can create art, to have the guts!

I'm in a great brillaint mood. Except i feel i failed my german exam because truely i suck in german i thought it was easier than french but french pronounciation is very easy.
" to be truely become a true creative artist, is to enjoy every single thing he/she doing, to experiment and to create. even if it's not an interest."

- that's what i learnt, and that's what i'm trying to accomplish through my study years.









And I have realised that i still can't find my style and I'm having problem getting 1 sec using my apreture and shutter speed on manual yashica camera.
