Visual Science

By Anessa Ortner
QuailBellMagazine.com

I have always been a storyteller with words, but when I made the decision to tell stories with illustrations the words quickly melted away and I realized that I can speak in all languages and communicate with all cultures through drawing.

In style I tend to flood the viewer with visual elements and tiny details because I want them to notice something different with each glance. I also build on issues such as social disorders and how the current base of technology has driven us to be more robotic in nature and more reserved as a people, yet we all struggle deep inside to regain our humanity and freedom.

Anessa grew up in a family that kept famous published physics lectures in the library and did robotics projects over the summer. It wasn't until two years into college that her world of science took a turn for the visual arts. Even though she is an artist, she retains her scientific background and methodology and it plays a major roll in the visual elements of her work.

How to Setup Solar

Step 1. Create a Homepage

Even if you already have a home page, you'll need to create a new one since Solar needs a blank page to automatically pull and display your blog posts in the magazine layout. You can create a new homepage by going to "Pages" at the top, click on the "+" icon and select "Standard" page.

Step 2. Apply "solar" Page Layout

Once you create a new homepage, apply the "solar" page layout to the new homepage. You can do this by clicking on "Pages" at the top, select the homepage on the left, and under "HEADER TYPE", select "solar".

Step 3. Create A Blog

If your site doesn't have a Weebly "Blog" page, then create a new "Blog" page. You can do this by clicking on "Pages" at the top, click on the "+" icon and select "Blog Page".

Step 4. Setup Blog Automation

Come back to this screen and fill in the input boxes with the URL of your "Blog" page and 3 category URLs from that blog.

Blog Automation Setup

SOLAR's 'Blog Automation' feature automatically pulls content from your blog and displays it on other parts of your site. In order to activate this feature, simply add the URL of your blog, and the URL of 3 categories from your blog, to the input boxes below.
