Are Zebras Black with White Stripes or White with Black Stripes?



What I think? They are white with black stripes, and here's why:

The Pattern

At first glance, you probably wouldn't notice, but most zebras have white underbellies and white inner thighs. All the white stripes you see on a zebra would come together at these two parts of the zebra's body, making them all connected to one another. However, all the black stripes on a zebra aren't connected together like the white stripes. This to me, makes me see zebras as white mammals with black stripes instead of the other way around.

Painting

When it comes to painting, do you paint white first or black? Painting white over black is a hassle. Since black is more prominent than white, your painting would always turn out grey; unless you paint the white over black repeatedly of course. But even then, the outcome is not all that satisfying. It is easier to paint black over white. Hence, you paint white first. This is why, in my opinion, zebras are white with black stripes. The white comes first, and the black comes after.


Now keep in mind that this is my honest opinion on ZEBRAS. There is absolutely nothing on this post that relates to anything controversial whatsoever.


Thank you for giving the time of your day to read this!

The Best Poster with All Six Elements

There are six elements of design that must be accounted for when designing posters, flyers, banners, etc. Those elements are line, shape, size, color, value, and texture. The Best That I've Found A poster advertising On-Site Painting at Casco   Histórico La Serena Line Only a single line was used in this poster; dividing the different categories and the description for each categories at the bottom of the poster. The line makes the words look more orderly and neat, helping any onlookers to read the information with less difficulty. Shape The shapes used in this poster are plenty. From the obvious large paint stroke to the little windows and doors of the building that consists of squares and rectangles and the thin rectangles that line the sidewalk. Size The large paint stroke takes up almost half of the poster. The text beside it is in big font to indicate that it is the most crucial information from the poster. At the top left of the poster ...

Malaysia's Worst and Best Logos

Creating a logo for a company or a brand is always a challenge, especially since you want to make sure the meaning behind your logo is delivered to the consumers. Moreover, you would need to ensure that the logo is unique and that people are able to differentiate it from all the other logos that can be found around the world. There is no such thing as "the perfect logo" ; only good ones or bad ones. The same goes for Malaysian companies and products. There are good ones and bad ones. The question is; which Malaysian product has the worst logo? And which has the best? In this post, I will share with you about which logo I think is the worst and which is the best. The Worst Logo Take a good look at the picture below. A picture of the old Dairy Champ logo. Why do I consider this the worst logo? Because this logo looks lazy to me. They simply typed out their brand name Dairy Champ, all in red, tilted it a little, and simply put in on top of a trophy. At least ...

Bad Typo(graphy)

Most of us don't actually take typography seriously when designing posters, banners, flyers or even signboards so long as we think it looks cool or nice. As a result, you can find bad typo almost everywhere. Examples of Bad Typo As you can see in the picture above, the sign is about prioritizing our safety first. At first glance, you might not have noticed anything wrong with; except when you try to look at it from far away. Looking closely, only the words 'UTAMAKAN' was made the biggest from the rest while the word 'KESELAMATAN' was put below 'UTAMAKAN' and made smaller than half of the size of the word above it. The sign is about 'safety first', so they should have made both 'UTAMAKAN' and 'KESELAMATAN' the same size. In this picture, I would like to focus on how they emphasize the words. They used fancy fonts for the words 'Du'a' and 'OF SUCCESS' to highlight these two from the quote. However,...
