Terraria Gameplay

Terraria is a sandbox 2D game with gameplay that revolves around exploration, building, and combat. The game has a 2D sprite tile-based graphical style reminiscent of the 16-bit sprites found on the SNES. The game is noted for its classic exploration-adventure style of gameplay, similar to titles such as the Metroid series and Minecraft.
The game starts in a procedurally generated world. The player starts with three basic tools: a pickaxe for mining, a shortsword for combat, and an axe for woodcutting. Many resources, notably ores, can be found while mining or exploring underground caves. The player begins with 100 health, which can eventually be increased up to 500 by finding special items underground. Some resources, and most items, may only be found in certain areas of the map, stored in common and rare containers, or dropped by certain enemies. The player uses resources to craft new items and equipment at an appropriate crafting station for that recipe. For example, tables or other items can be crafted at a work bench, and bars can be smelted from ore at a furnace. Several advanced items in Terraria require multiple crafting operations where the product of one recipe is used as an ingredient for another. Wikipedia

Before After Ashley Goforth Design

Before After Ashley Goforth Design



Six years ago I wrote a story about a house in West University – it was small, but impeccably decorated which is why it caught my eye.  It was highly edited, clean lined and sophisticated, with furniture and accessories that were top quality.  What was most inspiring was the house really had no architectural features - a typical 1930s original bungalow that couldn’t even be called a charming cottage - yet the interior designer made you overlook that fact and think you were in a larger, custom house.

image
The bungalow was beautifully designed by Ashley Goforth who runs her own design firm. Once the bungalow sold, the new owners loved what Ashley had done with the house so much, that they hired her to design it again, this time for the new owners.   She even used some of the same furniture which purchased from the previous owners.  What a compliment to Ashley!   I can’t think of another time where the former and present owners both used the same designer.  The story of that bungalow is HERE.

image  
BEFORE: The bungalow:  The original living room – Ashley used light fabrics and silk curtains mixed with contemporary tables.

 image
BEFORE:  Two antique chairs add a contrast to the contemporary side chairs.

image
AFTER:  The new owners kept the silk curtains and furniture, but added gilt antique chairs.
 
image
AFTER:  The biggest change is in the dark grey fabrics on the sofa and pillows.  This one change made the room seem fresh and bit more modern.

   image 
BEFORE:  A skirted table with slipped chairs fills the dining area.

image
AFTER:  A new lantern, sconces, French chairs, and a Swedish console updated the dining room for the new owners.

image
BEFORE:  An oversized tufted headboard becomes the focal point, along with silk curtains and dark chocolate walls.

image
AFTER:  The same room, with new mirrored nightstands and round accent mirrors, along with a print pillow made the room new for the current owners.
Over the years, I’ve shown the work of Ashley Goforth a few times – I really love her aesthetic.  It’s fresh and modern yet she uses fine antiques to create a look that appeals to the younger set, as well as the more seasoned (hmph!) crowd.  
While perusing the HAR web site, I came upon a house for sale in West University that stopped me in my tracts.  It’s so rare that you find a house that is professionally decorated and in a way that would be put in a magazine – that when you do, it seems so dramatic!   I kept looking at this house and was dying to know – who designed it?   A little bit of research lead me to Ashley Goforth (of course) but even more fun, was that the owners of this house were the original owners of the bungalow that I had showed so many years ago!!!  Wow!!
Ashley was so sweet to send me the professional photographs of the house for sale, and I found the BEFORE pictures so you can really appreciate the work that Ashley did  –  enjoy!!!!

image
BEFORE:  The red brick house is typical for the newer houses in West University built in the 1990s.  Pretty.
 
image
AFTER:  Whoa!  The change is amazing.  First Ashley painted the red brick – white, which is a very on trend thing to do.  This one change is immense.  Next, landscape designer Gregory Henry HERE pulled out the accent trees and shrubs and installed clipped box.  He also put in a brick sidewalk.  New wood gates add more interest, along with new oversized New Orleans styled lanterns.

image
AFTER:  A glimpse into the main hall, with the patterned zebra print runner on the stairs.

image
BEFORE:  The living room is rather plain with shutters and orange colored hardwoods.  A blank slate.

image
AFTER:  First Ashley stained the hardwoods a deep, dark brown.  Then, she painted the walls white.  Here, she added silk curtains with textured shades.  Modern artwork adds pops of color which are repeated in the pillows.
Much of the beautiful art work came from Kathy Dimmitt Contemporary Art - to see more, go  HERE. 

image
The rug is textured with a pattern.  The light fixture is a modern Serge Mouille.  Love the gilt French chair with the stripe upholstery.  And on the left is Ashley’s signature antique – a chest.

image
From the real estate photographs – you can see the pattern in the rug a bit easier and to the right are two taupe velvet chairs.

image
Looking out towards the front hall.

AG Day1-5
A close up of the antique chest with the crystal lamp and sconces.  I love how Ashley mixes the old with the new.  She has a real talent for  vignettes and she always includes one in each room.

image
BEFORE:   Another blank slate.

image
AFTER:  Ashley mixed a contemporary table and chairs and art and with an antique chest and chandelier.

AG Day1-12
I love how the white chairs mix with the white trim in the curtains.

image
View into the foyer.

image
Close up view of the white trim on the silk curtains.

image
AFTER:  Unfortunately no before pictures, but here is the after Library.  Ashley used a pattern rug here and put a glossy stain on the paneling.  Simply elegant.

AG Day1-40
AFTER:  Ashley added a console sink, with contemporary mirror and crystal sconces. 


image
Before:   plain mantel and boring shelves.

image
Before:  the view towards the kitchen.
                                                                                        image
AFTER:  A new mantel was installed along with mirrored door cabinets that replaced the boring shelves.  Genius!  Ashley painted the room white and the trim and French door were painted black. 

image
Along the French doors she added white curtains with a black and white trim.    
 
image
I love the mix of pillows and colors here!!!

image
Great mix of pillows - black and white stripe, silk velvet tiger, and the very trendy green.  They look so great together – as does the series of black and white prints. 

image
A close up of the andirons – love!!!  The brass is repeated in the cabinets and in the floor lamps.

image
Close up of black chest and white lamps vignette against the back wall.

image
BEFORE:  The kitchen was a bit dated – just 15 years old and with new appliances, but it still needed a small facelift.

image
BEFORE:  The view towards the breakfast area.

image
AFTER:  Ashley first removed the tile floor and extended the newly dark hardwoods into the kitchen.  At that time, the island was removed and replaced with an industrial style movable one.    She left the backsplash but painted the bottom cabinets a dark grey and added new hardware.

image
A new contemporary light fixture was installed over the island, along with textured shades.  In the breakfast area another new light fixture was installed along with a banquette.  The French door was painted the same black as the adjoining family room and kitchen.

image
To further update the kitchen, the upper cabinets along one side were removed and a built in refrigerator was added, along with a wine cooler and new sink.

image
A  marble topped Saarinen table.

image
The new breakfast room – with a pop of turquoise color.

image   
BEFORE:  Like most West University houses, the bedrooms are all upstairs.  Here the master has a fireplace which is not usual, and how romantic is that!!!   Again, this room is a blank slate.

image
AFTER:  Ashley install

Basic Understanding of Graphic Design

Basic Understanding of Graphic Design



Basic Understanding of Graphic Design

Graphic design is one of the communication forms through the visual media that have made effectively. The visual media could be the form of any texts or images component, but basically they are the same, because text is the part of the image form. Text formed by a letter, the letter is formed by a symbol that already have changes in the evolution in the very long time, along with the history of human culture and art.
Texts and images are two components of graphic design that have a different function but  complementary each other in order to give any information for any purpose. Text gives a more explicit communication and detail in line with the history of language, while the images provide implicit communication that sometimes have a wide meaning. So the analogy is text to be an arrow, image to be the arc while the text itself to be arrow of the arc.

The development of graphic design is certainly influenced with the history of human culture and lifestyle. Graphic design that was originally made by manually, then progressing to use any tools that is still simple, to use more sophisticated tools. Until now the discipline of graphic design is heavily dependes on progressing in computer software. In the world of computer, graphics design many experienced rapid development, in line with developments in technology.

In the process of making a work of graphic design there are many aspects that contribute to producing a quality work. Imagination and a sense is a nerves of the value of the art we have, then the ability or skill in the casting process into a visual media, including typography skills, skills to make illustration, and image processing, including the ability in the field of photography, and layout .

Today the application of graphic design in the computer of the world has developed so rapidly in line with the innovation and sophistication in a computerized world. Graphic design software is very diverse which seeks to facilitate all abilities latent within us. So people who have little visual skills will be honed through using computer software. Surely that is needed is a skill to master techniques of graphic design software. Graphic design software skills and visual skills to manual will complement each other to create a great graphic design.

Beautiful Design Other News

Beautiful Design Other News


 

I wasn’t going to show another Houston designer so soon, but it makes sense because of the connection between Ashley Goforth and her former employer, Shabby Slip’s Renea Abbott.  Ashley worked for Renea for a few years and you can see how much she learned from the master. Because Renea is THE MASTER. 

Oh my gawd.  No one gets it so right like Renea.   She has an incomparable eye for choosing gorgeous antiques for her clients and her shop.   She refined the art of slip covers over 20 years ago and today – her slips are more like works of art.  And art.  She choses the most perfect works of art to enhance her interiors.  Her upholstery furniture is beautiful.   Her light fixtures, her accessories – all wonderful. And finally – her interiors are masterful! 

A trip to her shop rivals a shopping excursion  anywhere.   Simply put, Renea is talented and she has “it” in spades.  Besides her talent – she has charisma – with an infectious personality and a beautiful face, along with a knack for looking good without really looking like she tried, she’s the whole package and a very attractive package of talent and personality.  So. Yes. I’m in awe.

The other day I saw a room on Pinterest that I hadn’t seen before and it took me back to Shabby Slips’ portfolio – it  had been a while since I last visited their web site and with three new projects – it’s  pure eye candy.  

Here’s a glimpse:

 

image

This is the photo that stopped me in my tracks on Pinterest.  I mean – that ottoman!!!  This is what sets Renea apart from other pretenders. That ottoman!!!!   Stunning.

 

image

And it’s not just the ottoman, but I love the art work.  And the sofa – with the extravagant gilt frame.  And the perfect club chairs.  And the white curtains with the trim that flanks the sofa.  And the light fixture.  Perfection!

 

 

image

And this bedroom – in black and white – with brown.  Notice how the wood stain picks up the gilt color in the mirror and the light fixture and the tiger pillow.  Little details like that are note worthy.   See how the chests pop in the room – and without using a tacky yellow fabric, she brings the hue in with furniture and architectural elements.  It’s so elegant and sophisticated. 

 

image

OK.   Yes.  I know.  I know.   What Is This?!?!?!   Besides the most gorgeous hunk of marble ever.   A sink.  Only Renea.  And notice the restraint in the sconces.  She knows when to keep it quiet so the marble and mirror shine.  Just beautiful.

To see the rest of the house, visit Shabby Slips’ web site:  HERE.

 

image

In this second house – the living room has very dark gray walls with white sofas and silk tiger velvet mixed with beautiful antique mirrors and statuary.  Very chic tables sit under the mirrors.  And that painting.  I love it! 

       

image

Another view – where you can see the graphic prints on this wall.

  image

The dining room continues with the dark walls and white fabrics.   In this room, an antique console keeps the room from being too contemporary.  It’s a mix – a ying and a yang – modern furniture mixed with antique pieces that are handpicked by Renea for their beauty and their uniqueness.

 

image

In the kitchen – a wall of white tiles next to the deep gray cabinets.  I like how just the tops are exposed – to show off a few white pieces, without too much of the clutter of open shelving.

 

image

The master bedroom has the deep gray walls with a fabulous chandelier – and an oversized bench in white leather.  The dark walls are unexpected here – against the rustic beams, but that’s why it works so well.  It’s not what you would expect – it’s a surprise and it makes a bedroom more interesting.

 

image

Another view shows off the extraordinary mirror – and notice the wood bed. 

To see more of the house – go HERE.

 

image

For this beach house – the aesthetic is more relaxed and tropical.  Here two slipcovered sofas sit near breezy sheer curtains and antique stools.

 

image

The breakfast rooms shows off Renea’s signature slipped covered chairs and a wood table.

 

image

This powder room is another unique one.  Notice the console and the wall faucet.   And I love the mix of the Venetian style mirror with the brass.

To see more of this house go HERE.

 

image

Shabby Slips is located on Bissonnet in Houston – Renea has set the shop up in vignettes that look as nice and finished as in a house.

 

image

That chair!  Wonderful pops of orange velvet.  And I love the tufting on the antique settee’s frame.

 

image

Besides the main shop, there is the large annex out back.   I see so many things I would love for clients!!

 

image

       Can’t make it to Houston?  You can go shopping on their web site – here is a sampling of their antique furniture.    To see more and get directions, visit the Shabby Slips web site – HERE.

A huge thanks to Renea Abbott!!

Next: everyone’s favorite stylist and designer, Eddie Ross, has a book coming out this October!  I got an advance copy and it is a great how-to book on estate sales, accessories, restoring antiques, decorating and styling – all the things that Eddie Ross is famous for.

 

image

Here’s a picture from Eddie and Jaithen’s country house – Pine Hill.  Filled with goodies acquired over the years – Eddie explains how to get the same treasures – point by point and what to do with them afterwards.   I loved all the tips and I really loved getting to see their fabulous country house!!

And finally – if you are a long time reader, you will know that Houston interior designer Ginger Barber is involved with rescuing horses – abused and neglected ones, through the horse sanctuary Habitat for Horses.   Ginger not only raises money for Habitat for Horses, but she also gives her personal time, working at the stables, feeding, cleaning, and nurturing the horses back to health.  It’s not easy work, especially in the hot Texas sun, but it is an important labor of love and devotion for Ginger.

 

image

A few months ago over 200 abused, starved and neglected horses were seized in Conroe, Texas.  A judge gave the Houston SPCA protection over the neglected horses, and of those, he placed 20 pregnant, sick mares with Habitat for Horses.  The original owners of the horses tried to retain them – but the judge ruled against the couple, citing the inhuman treatment and extreme cruelty they subjected the horses to. 

Habitat for Horses will do everything possible to save and rehabilitate these 20 mares and all the other horses already under their care.   Their motto is “no horse should have to suffer neglect and starvation.”

Go HERE to watch a short video about these 20 horses and Habitat for Horses.

To read the story about this in The Examiner – go HERE. 

As you might expect, Habitat for Horses is in dire need of donations to help with the rehabilitation and medical treatment of these mares.  If you could find it in your heart to make a donation, please go HERE.

Thank you so much for your generosity.
