Analog and Digital colour

 What are pixels?

They are squares that make up an image on a   screen.


 How is color viewed in computer monitors?

Monitors use red, green and blue to create different colors.


 What is the additive color space?

Digital Monitors mix red, green and blue  light to display colors. Additive color starts with black and adds red, green and blue light to create colors. More color added makes the result get lighter.
  
 Describe which additive color sliders values in InDesign you would use to make white and black.

Mixing cyan, magenta, and yellow should make black, and red, green, and blue would make white, so adding those in different amounts would make color lighter.


 What is the subtractive color space?

Subtractive color starts with white and ends with black; as color gets added, the result gets darker. Cyan, magenta and yellow is used to control the amount of red, green and blue light reflected from white paper.


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

Mixing red green and blue make white, and mixing cyan, magenta, and yellow make black, so adding those in different amounts to make color darker.


 What is color calibration?

Matching  colors to a base/Pantone color, or from one device to another. Color calibration is  used to display accurate colors that will be printed on paper.

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

They are coded by numbers and allow people to standardize their printing and match colors more accurately. 


What is analog color (analog ≠ analogous)?

Analog color is  physical color, Analogous color is the colors that are next to each other on the color wheel .


 What is digital color?

Unlike physical colorants like paints/pigments  absorb and reflect light, digital colors are the  colors of light.

Picasso Painting Reflection

Image
  Jacqueline with Flowers is the first portrait of Picasso's second wife. It was a  starting point of a new stage in his personal life and a new period in his work. When they met, he had just begun to work on the Algerian Women series after the famous painting by Eugène Delacroix. She shot shortly after Picasso died.  Full of highly saturated vibrant colors, Pablo Picasso Jacqueline with Roses, 1956, illustrates one of the works in a series based on Jacqueline. Combining the use of delicate expressive imagery and bold abstract cubism, it helps  evoke a sense of delight and contentment.  Pablo Picasso continued creating art right until his death on April 8, 1973 at the age of 91 . He had been painting just a few hours before he died. For this assignment, we had to color over Picasso's painting and use the brush tool so we could learn more about photoshop. This didn't seem too difficult to do at first, as Picasso's painting didn't have too many colors on it, ...

Self Portrait in colour

Image
This one is called Self Portrait in colour.  This was much harder to do compared to the self portrait in gray, but it was more fun in comparison. Not the biggest fan of coloring but getting to color and create a background was fun to do. I was also able to fix any mistakes I made in the self portrait in gray. The owl was a bit difficult but I like how it turned out. I like nature and also used to do one color drawings so making the forest  background was probably  my favorite part of the whole thing.  Putting color on my jacket and stuff was a bit hard, but I had fun fixing my hair and adding highlights and stuff to it. Overall, I really like how it turned out.

Portrait In Type Shafa Hawladar

Image
This one is called Portrait in type. For this assignment, we had to create a person out of letters/symbols that are only found on the keyboard. This one was quite difficult to do, but was fun nonetheless. The hardest part to do was probably the jacket, as it had a lot of folds and stuff and  I mostly used Vs and |s to make the folds.  As for the hair, it was also difficult but not as much, I didn't really know what to do at first so I mostly ended up using parenthesis for an outline, but later put Xs, Vs, Us, and Ws to make the hair more detailed later on. While making the hair more detailed, I decided to start putting random symbols and stuff to darken the clothing colors and ended up looking different shades, which was pretty interesting. I think it turned out to look alright.
