In the Ghanaian community and bringing it down to the Ewes, names are specifically given for different reasons.

An Ewe who can't speak the language? These answers will tell you why

Image
In the mind of every native in a country or community, the native language must be fluently spoken by the natives. In any case where a person is unable to either speak or write his or her native language, an issue arises necessitating the need to inquire what actually could cause such an incapability to express oneself in his or her local language. The Ewe Language is spoken by the Anlos or Some people of Ghana. Even though Ewe speaking people are all over Ghana in various regions and beyond, they are based in the Volta Region especially. The people of Togo also speak Ewe but there is a kind of a bit difference in dialect and phonetics in how it is spoken. This difference is seen in some of the communities that the language is spoken but one thing surprising is that the writing is almost the same all across. Learn about Ewe names and meanings A little concern sometimes that seems quite disturbing to some of our elderly in the community is when some or our people are unable to speak the...

What should education profit the individual?

Image
The growth of an individual after birth is very important but there is an essential development that must accompany the physical growth which is the mental growth. The mind is part of the human person known as the soul and the mind happens to be the central location of actions consciously and  even unconsciously. This means that who an individual will grow and become depends on the kind of mindset the person nurtures as part of his or her training as he or she moves from one stage of life to the other.  Education as it is normally described is the process of acquiring knowledge and skills. Education is in forms which include: Formal education Informal education Semi-formal education All these forms or types of education provide a scope of knowledge in a specified field that informs and guides the learner to practice in a particular field either as a work, profession or a job.  Formal education happens to be the type of education that I would say leads all the other cate...

Color psychology and everyday application in my country

Image
Color  is generally what the eyes see when light shows on an object and part reflected back unto the eye. Without the presence of light, color cannot be seen or perceived and it is the reason why capturing devices are not able to capture objects as they are in reality in the presence of certain saturations of light . The human has the knowledge of what objects look like and hence can tell of their color even when a different saturation of color is reflected. As known widely, the primary, secondary and tertiary colors have their respective meaning or symbolism that varies from country to country. What is Color Psychology? This is the emotional, psychological etc meaning or symbolism ascribed to colors which determine its effect on the audience.

What is a T-shirt mockup? In Graphic Design, a mockup is a digital version of a design that helps appreciate how the real work will look when produced. For most people, getting a mockup template comes easier to do this but I also appreciate vector graphics a lot as well as illustrative works so I most often design my own mockup. In this post, we'll look at a few things on how a simple T-shirt mockup can be done in Adobe Illustrator. There are actually alternative ways once you are familiar with the tools.

If you watch from the image below, I made some guidelines from the ruler to help keep the shirt proportionate. Once you drag from the ruler, you get t...
