Analog & Digital Color

1. What are pixels?

    Pixels are the small dots/squares that make the display on a screen

2. How is color viewed on Computer Monitors?

    Colors are viewed on Computer Monitors and basically every electronic by using RGB (Red, Green, Blue) values

3. What is the additive color space?

    Additive color space is light created by mixing various Red Green and Blue values

4. Describe which additive color sliders values in InDesign you would use to make white and black.

    To make Black you would need to set all the values (that's the Red, Green, and Blue) to 0, To make White you would need to set all the values to 255. ]

5. What is the subtractive color space?

    Subtractive color space is the pigments (Print/Ink) created by mixing various CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and BlacK) values.

6. Describe which additive color sliders values in InDesign you would use to make white and black.

    To make Black you would need to set all the values (that's the Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and BlacK) to 100%, To make White you would need to set all the values to 0%.

7. What is color calibration?

    Color Calibration is where you try adjusting colors to make it more accurate to the final output.

8. How does the PMS (Pantone Matching System) color system ensure color fidelity?

    The PMS ensures color fidelity by labeling colors using a 3-4 digit code with a letter at the end (Usually C, M or U) so that these colors can be identified easily.

9. What is analog color (analog ≠ analogous)?

     Analog colors are colors that lie next to any given color. For example, Orange being next to Red and Orange being next to Yellow

10. What is digital color?

    Digital Colors are saturated, bright colors created by using light emitted from computer screens and TVs to display whatever it is you're trying to view

Society of Illustrators at 128 East 63rd Street, Lexington Avenue, New York, New York, NY 10065 Trip Reflection

Image
 To summarize, my experience in the trip was great. especially in the Character Design workshop where we learned how to fold and make a zine (pronounced zeen) which is a small book consisting of 8 pages (including the cover), also we learned how to make character turn arounds which involves drawing a sort of target on which ever part of the face depending on the position of your character and then you draw the eyes and the rest of the face.  This is what the Zines look like This is what I meant by "character turnarounds" and "targets" Anyways moving on from the Character Design I took a pic of some designs that really caught my interest (about 14 but i will only show 2 because why not) The text is sort of unreadable because the original image was blurry. I tried using the unblur feature my phone had and its still quite unreadable. If you still cant read this, it says: Medium: Ink crayon, handmade stamps, paper collage. digital Imprint: Alfred A.

Gestalt Principles on Grid

Image
  Figure Ground Symmetry   Similarity   Proximity  Alright so we are back with doing Gestalt Proximity but we are doing it on grids this time, honestly, I think I put little effort into the work except maybe the second design, for the First design, I did sort of a "yin-yang" design, I have nothing else to say its quite bland. Anyway for the Second design, I clearly did Symmetry, I even went a little further and used the 'gutter space' as Adobe InDesign calls it to write the word "symmetry", I am quite happy with this design myself. For the Third design, I did Similarity where some of the text in the boxes would be bolded and form a T-shape, you could also consider this as Figure-ground. Finally, for the Fourth design, I did proximity where at least 2 grid spaces would space out all of the text boxes.

300ppi VS 72ppi Resolution

1. What is the difference between 300ppi and 72ppi? The difference between 300PPI and 72PPI is that 300PPI is higher resolution, You are cramming more pixels into an inch. Hence the PPI which means Pixels Per Inch 2. Why is that important for the graphic designer doing print projects? It's important for Graphic Designers as when you try to increase the size of a 72PPI to fit the layout of a magazine or poster, It looks like a pixelated mess which hurts to look at. Whereas if you try to resize a 300PPI it won't look that bad, Sure it will start to look a little pixelated but it would still be pleasant to look at. Well, there might be a situation where 300PPI is too big for your project layout so you can decrease the size and it would still look great overall. 3. Why is that important for the web designer doing websites?  It's equally important for Web Designers, But you also have to be careful, if you insert an image that's too big such as a 1000PPI image your Website wi
