    Walworth Town Hall Hoarding

    Walworth Town Hall hoarding Drawing out Walworth by Kerry Lemon Are you wondering why there is a giraffe in the middle of Walworth Square? You have come to the right place to find out. The images on the Walworth Town Hall hoarding celebrate some of the plants, animals and architecture that have special meaning within the Walworth area. You can find a brief explanation below of everything that is represented and discover something new and interesting about Walworth. The PLANTS In 1086 the Domesday book described the village life in Waleorde (Walworth) with corn growing and cows grazing. The peaches, apples and grapes grew locally in orchards and market gardens and reference the history of the area 'feeding London' from Roman times into the 1700s. They also link to the produce sold on East Street Market stalls today. Tulips were grown by James Maddock (1718-1786) in Walworth and at one time he had more than 800 different varieties in his fields. The poppy is a symbol of remembrance and hope and relates to those that signed up to join the armed forces during WW1 at the Walworth Town Hall. Echinacea is a reference to London’s oldest herbalist, Baldwin’s of Walworth Road, which has been in business since 1844. The dahlias date from 1797 when botanist Samuel Curtis issued the ‘Beauties of Flora’ a series of two floral engravings including two plates of dahlias from his own collection grown in Walworth. The ANIMALS, birds and insects An elephant, giraffe and lion were part of the attractions at the historical Royal Surrey Zoological Gardens, which rivalled the Regent’s Park Zoo.

    Rothesay March 13Th Word Count: 568 Visual Attention 1 2 Given That Our

    Rothesay March 13th Word count: 568 1 Visual Attention 2 3 Given that our visual attention has limited resources, we selectively attend to areas that 4 contain salient stimuli (Wolfe & Horowitz, 2004) or that match our internal goals (Hopfinger, 5 Buonocore, & Mangun, 2000). At the same time, other areas in the visual display are often 6 overlooked. Thus, a designer should carefully consider drawing viewers’ attention to important 7 information and reducing viewers’ attentional load on unimportant information. 8 Web designers recently tend to present all the information on a long page, and the 9 viewers need to scroll down to see different blocks of information. This new trend is probably 10 due to frequent mobile device use in our daily life, and we become more familiar with scrolling. 11 A critical piece of information on this type of webpage is to notify people to scroll down. 12 Otherwise, this design would be a complete failure. To successfully deliver this message, 13 designers can use preattentive features, such as motion, to draw people’s attention. For example, 14 on Google Drive’s webpage, the down arrow at the bottom of page informs people to scroll 15 down. Although the color makes the down arrow to stand out from the background, the 16 additional movement of the arrow is the key factor that draws people’s attention. Thus, dynamic 17 arrows can be useful to draw people’s attention to scroll down. 18 If a webpage is filled with dynamic objects, it will create competition between 19 information. To avoid this issue, other methods should be used to draw viewers’ attention.

  • The Guthrie Wing, King's College Hospital, Denmark Hill, London

    The Guthrie Wing, King's College Hospital, Denmark Hill, London

    The Guthrie Wing, King’s College Hospital, Denmark Hill, London SE5 9RS Based in London, King’s College Hospital is a prestigious international teaching hospital with a long history of clinical excellence. Since its foundation in 1840 it has been associated with the advancement of medical science and patient care across many specialties. King’s International provides access to the exceptional clinical services available at the hospital to both private and overseas patients through dedicated facilities. King's International is the private patient service of King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and most of the private facilities are housed in an attractive Art Deco building, called the Guthrie Wing. How to find the Guthrie Wing The Guthrie Wing is a stand-alone Art Deco building on the main hospital campus. The main entrance is on Denmark Hill – just up the hill from the Accident & Emergency Department (it is marked in pink on the attached map). How to find King’s College Hospital King’s is in Camberwell, South London. Parking in the area is limited, so you may wish to consider using taxis or public transport. Taxi If you are arriving by taxi, most reliable taxi drivers will know the hospital, but you can tell the driver it is on Denmark Hill and the postcode is SE5 9RS. Taxis can drop you off outside the front door of the Guthrie Building without driving in to the main hospital campus. When you are leaving the hospital, there is a taxi rank outside the main hospital and free phones to book taxis at the main entrance.
