Mosquitoes

Collette Dinnigan 2012/2013 collection.
-------------------------------------------------

The principles and elements of design that have been utilised to create this garment include Line, direction, texture, colour balance. The vertical lines created by the pleats of the peplum enhance the symmetrical, structured shape of the jacket, and emphasises the illusion of the small waist. The aesthetic pleasing aspect of this garment is the clever little frill called the peplum which softens the silhouette of the dress as opposed to it being a rectangle silhouette and emphasise feminism. The garment gives the wearer a balanced body proportion. It nips in the waist up high where the waist is the smallest and hangs low enough to cover the belly which is suitable for any body shape and size. The form fitting waistband provides the waist with a little more emphasise. The clean cut lines of the vest displays a tailored, professional look with good proportion of the female form. The shoulder pads inside the jacket allow the height and structure to the shape of the jacket. The French floral lace is an aesthetic aspect of the garment and one of Collette’s trademarks it is also what gives the jacket an interesting textural affect. The pleats of the jacket create a slimming affect to the top half of the body. . The hook and eye on the jacket helps secure the jackets to make the garment more secure against wearer’s body in an aesthetically pleasing way.

    This is a very elegant looking gown. It consists of mainly different shades of purples. The bodice of the gown consists of a layer of tightly attached silk, covered in jewels and rhinestones. The top of the bodice has a bow shaped pattern attached. This draws your eyes to the top of the bodice. By having the bow on the top of the bodice the same material as the bottom of the gown, it shows how the designer has reused used materials in an effective way.

    In the article, "When Mosquitoes Were Killers In America" written by Lauren Tarshis, the author states that mosquitoes are far worse than being a nuisance. There are many places in the article that back this statement. For example, the author writes something about how mosquitoes can easily spread a deadly disease called malaria. "In this way, bite by itchy bite, 212 million people are infected with malaria each year. Many live in crowded areas where mosquitoes easily spread the disease from person to person"(Tarshis 13). This is saying that in a small area, mosquitoes can easily infect people with a deadly disease. This is important because it shows an example of a piece of evidence to back up Lauren's statement. Plus, it shows how mosquitoes…

    Stink Bugs

    In the article “Asian stink bugs are here” it describes introduced specie called the stink bug that has invaded Maryland. The brown stink bug is an invasive insect species from Asia, and was first reported in Allentown, Pennsylvania in 1998. They are an insect that comes out in the autumn, but during the winter season they will try to slip under siding or shutters, or go through vents and windows to find shelter. After hiding out in our houses for the winter, they get active again as the weather warms up and begin looking for a way to get outside to feed and mate. Each female will lay enough eggs to make another 400 stink bugs. Stink bugs can be pest to farmers or gardeners because they insert their sucking mouth parts into tender fruit, causing ugly scarring called “cat facing”. They are can also be a pest because if you aggravate or kill them they will produce a long-lasting foul smell, hence their stink bug name. Their stink is produced by scent glands that go into action when the bug is squashed or merely annoyed. Their population is rapidly growing in the United States mainly due to the fact that there aren’t any predators here that will eat them. A few species of birds in the states will go after these stink bugs, but their natural predators are left back in Asia. So, entomologists have begun to study some Asian parasitic wasps that might make good candidates for biological controls for the stink bugs in the states. This article can relate to our course because it is describing an introduced specie. I can connect to this article because I hate these bugs, mainly because they are everywhere and once I get rid of one I find another in a matter of seconds. I find the fact that entomologists are trying to bring these wasps to counter out these stink bugs very interesting and could be a good thing, but it may also be a bad thing if these wasps become the next pest.…
