Motion graphic

Motion graphics are graphics that use video and/or animation technology to create the illusion of motion or a transforming appearance. These motion graphics are usually combined with audio for use in multimedia projects. Motion graphics are usually displayed via electronic media technology, but may be displayed via manual powered technology s well. The term is useful for distinguishing still graphics from graphics with a transforming appearance over time without over-specifying the form.

Digital illustrator

Digital illustration

Computer illustration or digital illustration is the use of digital tools to produce images under the direct manipulation of the artist, usually through a pointing device such as a tablet or a mouse. It is distinguished from computer-generated art, which is produced by a computer using mathematical models created by the artist. It is also distinct from digital manipulation of photographs, in that it is an original construction "from scratch". (Photographic elements may be incorporated into such works, but they are not the primary basis or source for them.)

Derek Lea

In 1996, after working for years as an art director, graphic designer, and professional retoucher, she set her sights on illustration. It was through her years spent as a retoucher that I began to explore the creative possibilities that Photoshop had to offer, simply because she was frustrated and bored. Once she began to work on her first piece, it just felt so right. There is no better feeling than creating something and getting so engrossed that you become lost in what you're doing. Time stands still and the rest of the world disappears, that's when she knows that she on to something good.

Digital Visual artist

Digital art

Digital art is a general term for a range of artistic works and practices that use digital technology as an essential part of the creative and/or presentation process. Since the 1970s, various names have been used to describe the process including computer art and multimedia art, and digital art is itself placed under the larger umbrella term new media art.

The impact of digital technology has transformed traditional activities such as painting,drawing and sculptor, while new forms, such as net art, digital installation art, and virtual reality, have become recognized artistic practices. More generally the term digital artist is used to describe an artist who makes use of digital technologies in the production of art. In an expanded sense, "digital art" is a term applied to contemporary art hat uses the methods of mass production or digital media.

Bobby Chiu, Canadian

Digital painter Bobby Chiu got his start designing Disney, Warner Bros. and Star Wars toys and that playful, imaginative tone remains in his illustration work for film and television today. Chui teaches digital painting at Schoolism.com and has won a number of CG Choice Awards from the CG Society of Digital Artists.

Of his choice to work with digital rather than traditional materials, Chui told It's Art Magazine, “When I experimented a bit with Illustrator and Photoshop 3 I quickly realized that ‘digital’ will be the way to go in the near future. With digital art there is no need to buy paint or canvases and you can take your art with you to work on almost anywhere. You can’t do that using traditional materials.”

Cristiano Siqueira, Sao Paulo / Brazil,

Cristiano Siqueira, known as CrisVector, is a digital artist from Brazil who uses vectors, Photoshop and 3D to create his unique artwork. A former graphic designer, Siqueira was itching for a bit more creative freedom, which he has found now as a self-employed illustrator.

Siqueira told Abduzeedo “All my illustrations are done entirely digitally I usually use 3 basic techniques: digital composition, digital painting and vectorial illustration. These techniques blend with each other many times, I may use composition elements on a painting (pictures insertion, for exemple), using vectorial elements in a composition or using digital painting elements in a vector illustration.”

Jealousy

Happy/joy

· Happy/joy

Definition: Happiness is a state of mind or feeling characterized by contentment, love, satisfaction, pleasure, or joy. A variety of biological,psychological,religious, and philosophical approaches have striven to define happiness and identify its sources.

While direct measurement of happiness presents challenges, tools such as The Oxford Happiness Questionnaire have been developed by researchers. Positive psychology researchers use theoretical models that include describing happiness as consisting of positive emotions and positive activities, or that describe three kinds of happiness: pleasure (positive sensory experience), engagement (involvement with one’s family, work, romance and hobbies), and meaning (using personal strengths to serve some larger end).

Research has identified a number of attributes that correlate with happiness: relationships and social interaction, extroversion, marital status, employment, health, democratic freedom, optimism, endorphins released through physical exercise and eating chocolate, religious involvement, income and proximity to other happy people. Happiness is mediated through the release of so-called happiness hormones.

Cause

• The level of happenings or experiences in one's life:
  things, events, experiences that trigger inner happiness to flow
• The level of physiological biochemical in the body:
  a subtle substance known as OJAS
• The non-physical level at the source of life:
  the nature of life itself is what causes happiness to want to flow and expand

Sad

· Sad

Definition: Sadness is an emotion characterized by feelings of disadvantage, loss, helplessness, sorrow, and rage. When sad, people often become outspoken, less energetic, and emotional.

Sadness can be viewed as a temporary lowering of mood, whereas depression is characterized by a persistent and intense lowered mood, as well as disruption to one's ability to function in day to day matters.

Cause

Loss is the most common cause of sadness. It's a very sad thing to lose someone or something that you care about. There are many kinds of loss. The death of a relative, friend, or pet can bring weeks or months of sad feelings. Other kinds of loss can also bring sadness, like people close to you getting a divorce or moving to a new town and leaving old friends. With this sadness, you might also feel angry or guilty, like you may have caused the loss - but you probably did not. Sometimes it is hard to think straight because you cannot get your mind off your loss. Usually, the load of sadness you carry after a loss will lighten over time, although there may always be a little bit of sadness left.

Relationships bring happiness and fun most of the time, but they can also bring sad times. Many kids fight with family members, especially their parents, in the struggle to grow up and gain independence. They fight about things like money, clothing, haircuts, school, friends, and cars. In school, problems with teachers and grades may cause periods of sadness as well. Other kids, both friends and enemies, can cause hurt feelings and sadness through fighting, teasing, peer pressure, not giving you support, or leaving you out of group activities.

Self-image, the way you feel about yourself, can be a big reason for sad feelings. Most people, even adults, are not completely happy with the way they look. Many people feel that they are not as good as they would like to be in sports or in school. And lots of people feel shy when talking to other people (especially with members of the opposite sex).

Jealousy

Definition: Jealousy is an emotion and typically refers to the negative thoughts and feelings of insecurity, fear, and anxiety over an anticipated loss of something that the person values, such as a relationship, friendship, or love. Jealousy often consists of a combination of emotions such as anger,sadness and disgust. It is not to be confused with envy.

Jealousy is a familiar experience in human relationships. It has been observed in infants five months and older. Some claim that jealousy is seen in every culture; however, others claim jealousy is a culture-specific phenomenon.

Cause

It starts when:

• You determine yourself worth based on your possessions, status, or looks.
• You feel "entitled" because of something that's happened to you somewhere along the way.
• You have feelings of insecurity or low self esteem.

You can't completely eliminate the cause of jealousy, but there are some things that can help control it:

1. Stop comparing yourself to everyone else. God's plan for you is completely different than His plan for someone else. You may be "in training" for something God has in mind for you. But as long as you waste your time comparing yourself to others, you'll never move forward.

2. Know that where you are is where you need to be. As long as you remain focused and upset about where you're not, God won't put you anywhere else.

3. Start focusing your time on what you can do for other people.When the revelation finally hits you, "it's not about me", you'll finally be released from all that negative junk that pulls you down. Spend your time being a blessing to other people and God will take care of everything else.

4. Overcoming jealousy gets much easier when you realize that God has an amazing plan for your life. Pursuing that plan takes your focus off other people and onto God's best for your life.

5. Take the time to learn. See how others have not only discovered the cause of jealousy in their lives, but have overcome it. There is no reason to have to learn everything on your own. There's a lot of help out there.

Comparison with envy

Popular culture uses the word jealousy as a synonym for envy. Many dictionary definitions include a reference to envy or envious feelings. In fact, the overlapping use of jealousy and envy has a long history.

The terms are used indiscriminately in such popular 'feelgood' books as Nancy Friday's Jealousy, where the expression 'jealousy' applies to a broad range of passions, from envy to lust and greed. While this kind of usage blurs the boundaries between categories that are intellectually valuable and psychologically justifiable, such confusion is understandable in that historical explorations of the term indicate that these boundaries have long posed problems. Perhaps the overlapping use of jealousy and envy occurs because people can experience both at the same time. A person may envy the characteristics or possessions of someone who also happens to be a romantic rival. In fact, one may even interpret romantic jealousy as a form of envy. A jealous person may envy the affection that his or her partner gives to a rival — affection the jealous person feels entitled to himself or herself. People often use the word jealousy as a broad label that applies to both experiences of jealousy and experiences of envy.

Although popular culture often uses jealousy and envy as synonyms, modern philosophers and psychologists have argued for conceptual distinctions between jealousy and envy. For example, philosopher John Rawls distinguishes between jealousy and envy on the ground that jealousy involves the wish to keep what one has, and envy the wish to get what one does not have. Thus, a child is jealous of her parents' attention to a sibling, but envious of her friend's new bicycle. Psychologists Laura Guerrero and Peter Andersen have proposed the same distinction. They claim the jealous person "perceives that he or she possesses a valued relationship, but is in danger of losing it or at least of having it altered in an undesirable manner," whereas the envious person "does not possess a valued commodity, but wishes to possess it." Gerrod Parrot draws attention to the distinct thoughts and feelings that occur in jealousy and envy.

The experience of jealousy involves:

• Fear of loss
• Suspicion or anger about betrayal
• Low self-esteem and sadness over loss
• Uncertainty and loneliness
• Fear of losing an important person to an attractive other
• Distrust

The experience of envy involves:

• Feelings of inferiority
• Longing
• Resentment of circumstances
• Ill will towards envied person often accompanied by guilt about these feelings
• Motivation to improve
• Desire to possess the attractive rival's qualities
• Disapproval of feelings

Lack of Sleep

There is no doubt that sleep is extremely important for a person’s health and wellbeing. However, millions of people including children just do not get enough sleep and many are suffering from lack of sleep.

While sleep duration required varies among people, it is believed that most healthy adults would need an average of 8 hours of sleep at night. As for children, according to the National Sleep Foundation (NSF), toddlers aged 1 to 3 years old should sleep for 12 to 14 hours a night; preschoolers, aged 3 to 5, should sleep 11 to 13 hours, school-aged children, aged 5 to 10, should get 10 to 11 hours, and teens, aged between 13 and 19, should get 8.5 to 9.25 hours of sleep nightly.

Survey conducted by NSF during the period between 1999 and 2004 showed that at least 40 million Americans suffer from over 70 different sleep disorders and 60 percent of adults reported having sleep problems at least a few nights a week. Meanwhile, 69 percent of children experienced one or more sleep problems a few nights or more during a week. In another findings released on March 28, 2006, NSF reported that only 20 percent of teens get the recommended 9 hours of sleep on school nights, and more than 1 in 4 found sleeping in class.

There is growing evidence that links chronic lack of sleep with an increased risk of obesity, diabetes, heart disease and infections.

In fact, as suggested in the findings published in the September 2010’s issue of Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, there is a critical time period prior to the age of 5 when sufficient nighttime sleep would lead to a healthy weight later on.

Researchers from the University of California and University of Washington in Seattle found that children aged 4 and below who get less than 10 hours of sleep a night are nearly twice as likely to be overweight or obese 5 years later. The relationship between sleep and weight was examined in 1,930 children who aged between 0 and 13 years old and took part in a survey in 1997 and again 5 years later in 2002.

For children who were 4 years old or younger at the time of the first survey, sleeping for less than 10 hours a night was associated with nearly a twofold increased risk of being overweight or obese at the second survey. As regards older children, sleep time at the first survey was not associated with weight status at the second survey but current short sleep time was associated with increased odds of a shift from normal weight to overweight status or from overweight or obese status at follow up.

The new study might not be the first to link short sleep duration to overweight in children, but many of previous studies have been cross-sectional. This means that they only looked at a single point in time making it difficult to determine if not getting enough sleep would cause a child to become obese, or vice verse.

While no reasons were furnished to explain why short sleep duration in early life would lead to excess weight gain later on, researchers cited a number of theories to back their findings.

Kids, who do not get enough sleep, would be too tired to participate in the activities that they were supposed to do so. Meanwhile, children staying up late would have more opportunities to eat. Finally, there is evidence that adults who do not have adequate sleep have altered levels of the appetite-related and hunger-related hormones leptin and ghrelin, and the same could just be true in children.

How to Help Children Sleep

The American Academy of Sleep Medicine recommends that preschool children sleep between 11-13 hours per night and school-age children should get between 10-11 hours of sleep each night.

To achieve optimal health benefits and potentially reduce the risk of children obesity, the academy recommends the following tips to help children sleep better.

• Follow a consistent bedtime routine. Set aside 10 to 30 minutes to get your child ready to go to sleep each night.
• Establish a relaxing setting at bedtime.
• Interact with your child at bedtime. Don't let the TV, computer, or video games take your place.
• Keep your children from TV programs, movies, and video games that are not right for their age.
• Do not let your child fall asleep while being held, rocked, fed a bottle, or while nursing.
• At bedtime, do not allow your child to have foods or drinks that contain caffeine. This includes chocolate and sodas. Try not to give him or her any medicine that has a stimulant.
