Glossy
Gloss is an optical property which indicates how well a surface reflects light in a specular (mirror-like) direction. It is one of the important parameters that are used to describe the visual appearance of an object. The factors that affect gloss are the refractive index of the material, the angle of incident light and the surface topography. Apparent gloss depends on the amount of ''specular'' reflection – light reflected from the surface in an equal amount and the symmetrical angle to the one of incoming light – in comparison with ''diffuse'' reflection – the amount of light scattered into other directions. Theory When light illuminates an object, it interacts with it in a number of ways: * Absorbed within it (largely responsible for colour) * Transmitted through it (dependent on the surface transparency and opacity) * Scattered from or within it (diffuse reflection, haze and transmission) * Specularly reflected from it (gloss) Variations in surface texture directly ...

Magazine
A magazine is a periodical publication, generally published on a regular schedule (often weekly or monthly), containing a variety of content. They are generally financed by advertising, purchase price, prepaid subscriptions, or by a combination of the three. Definition In the technical sense a ''journal'' has continuous pagination throughout a volume. Thus '' Business Week'', which starts each issue anew with page one, is a magazine, but the '' Journal of Business Communication'', which continues the same sequence of pagination throughout the coterminous year, is a journal. Some professional or trade publications are also peer-reviewed, for example the '' Journal of Accountancy''. Non-peer-reviewed academic or professional publications are generally ''professional magazines''. That a publication calls itself a ''journal'' does not make it a journal in the technical sense; ''The Wall Street Journal'' is actually a newspaper. Etymology The word "magazine" derives from Arabic , ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Wina Born
Wina Born-Meijer (Sliedrecht, 21 August 1920 – Amsterdam, 6 August 2001) was a Dutch journalist. She is often named as ''de moeder van de Nederlandse gastronomie'' (English: ''The mother of the Dutch gastronomy''). She has written about a hundred cookbooks and countless articles in magazines, like Margriet and Avenue. Work In 1949, Wina Born published her first articles in the newly founded monthly ''Wijn'' (English: Wine). In the sober years after the Second World War gastronomy and wine were virtually unknown in the Netherlands. Due to her weekly recipe-column in the magazine Margriet, with ''Libelle'' one of the major women magazines in the Netherlands, Born gained notoriety. She could also broaden the culinary horizon of the ordinary housewife, the main readers of the magazine. In a later stage, Wina Born started writing articles about foreign kitchen styles and producing restaurant-reviews. Between 1962 and 2000, Born wrote and translated more than a hundred books about ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ed Van Der Elsken

He described his camera as 'infatuated', and said: "I'm not a journalist, an objective reporter, I'm a man with likes and dislikes".Aletti, Vince. Cafe noir (biography). rticle. Biography''Artforum International''. v. 38 no7, Mar. 2000, pp. 98-103, 105-7. His style is subjective and emphases the seer over the seen; a photographic equivalent of first-person speech. Early life Ed van der Elsken was born on March 10, 1925, in Amsterdam in the Netherlands. In 1937, wanting to become a sculptor, he learned stone-cutting at Amsterdam's Van Tetterode Steenhouwerij.
