Periphery
Periphery has a meaning of surrounding of area as distinguished from its internal space or center. Moreover, it can be defined with large space and small space. For example, periphery for Empire State building would be sidewalks around it. St.Peter's contains entire city as perphery. The emphasis on periphery in architectural field and designing industries would be unlimited because it is as important as its main. In other words, a artifact could have stronger impact with well-combined periphery with the main. "He and Sixtus V proposed cutting a new street, the Strada Felice, from the Piazza del Popolo straight through the center of the ruins of the old city, .....the intersection of the four fountains were created (Roth, 414)."

Below is an example of well-balanced drawing with main and periphery.



















Portfolio
Portfolio is a storage of ideas and works. Portfolio is one of the most important part for a person who is doing creative activity. It is a method of keeping works and there are two main categories under portfolio such as soft version and hard version. The soft version means some kinds of electronic things such as online blog and computer files. The hard copy indicates that physical things such as drawings, drafting, and crafting.














Above is an example a kind of physical portfolio.




Process
Process is more important than the result because there would not be any good results without good processes. For example from architectural field, it is very important step to stack stone bricks carefully to build stone bridge. In addition, process can be seen with some various steps. For example, a person needs to make an artifact which is inspired by assigned design word; therefore, he or she is starting to think about the literal definition of assigned word to make an artifact rather than start to think from the figurative meaning of assigned word because throughout the literal meaning of a object, it would be easier to approach a destination.

Perspective
Perspective is being used to trick real things on two dimensional because it help viewers to recognize objects in drawing easier. Perspective is one of techniques to emphasize spatial space of three dimensional to two dimensional and help to view with horizontal line(eye level), Ground line(foot level), and vanishing point. There are one point, two points, and three points in perspective drawings.

































Professional
Professional means that a person who is ready to show his or her talent as a pro with well-developed and well-educated knowledge. It is important to show professional manner through works such as in presentation, with well-finished, and so on. It is not only necessary showing professional through works, but also it is necessary having professionalism to be a real pro in everyday life because you are the person who created your artifacts.

To be a pro, it is necessary to have well-developed, well-done, and well-organized Portfolio which shows main object and Periphery. Moreover, it is also necessary to have various points of views such as Perspective because there would be something which we cannot see it from a point of view. To meet these, it does not excess to put more emphasis on Process to get better outcome.
