FRIDAY

Today I used the spectrometer and edited some pictures for art on iPhoto. Here is one I did.
It is the weekend!


-Until Next Time!

Spectrometry in CMYK and RGB

1.) How do you think the Spectrometer works?
A spectrometer is a measuring device that collects light waves. It uses these light waves to determine the material that emitted the energy, or to create a frequency spectrum.

2.) Were there any unexpected results? What were they?
I really didn't know quite what to expect so I wasn't expecting any particular outcome but, I did notice that colors that use similar colors to make up that color had close readings when we used that color.


3.) Were there any differences between the different pictures?
Yes there were, I think one of the reasons for that may be because one printer may have been running low on a certain color while another may have had plenty of that color and gave more of a "pure" color.


4.) Compare the printed color sheet to the one linked in the blog. What differences due you notice in the RGB display versus the CMYK printout.
Just that the one linked in your blog, the colors are a lot deeper and richer while the colors on the print out maybe not be completely accurate to the code the printer uses due to lack of ink.


5.) Did you notice the Hex Codes for each color. Would you say Hex codes have more in common with RGB or CMYK? Explain.
I would say RGB because the hex code is made up of three parts, there are three colors included in RGB. While I'm sure you can use the HEX code to find CMYK I feel like each section of the HEX code relates directly to RGB.


6.) Do you think the use of spectrometry is important for publishers? Why or why not?
I imagine that it is. but I could not begin to explain why or how it would help them.


7.) What sort of consequences may arise if spectrometers were not used in publishing?
They could give a wrong color or something.

And The Next Photo

I am going to use my time in this class and what we are learning to help me with another class. I have been in an art class for almost two years now and we have to create studio pieces as we go. I am going to take advantage of having iPhoto and Photoshop and complete the assignments in this class using pictures for my other class. That will be why my photos may seem to be very similar.

Everything that I am doing in my art class has to do with color and I feel fabric is a good way of showing colors.

Today I edited several photos and learned a few new things on iPhoto. Next time I plan on having a few of my own photos to edit.

Saturation: 52

Definition: 100

Shadows: 30

Sharpness: 30

De-Noise: 30

Temperature: -30

Tint: -30

Next Photo!

So I took a personal photo and edited it on iPhoto.

I cropped out the people in it so it only focused on the statue behind it and played with the adjust settings. I'm pleased with how it looks, expect to see more of these in days to come.

Jeans

I took this picture and added a color fade (4) along with with a Boost Color and then took the Definition Bar all the way to 100. To get...

What you Did...

First you put a Vignette effect on the picture and then you brought the temperature over on the orange a little more. Thats why The lady's face is a bit orange along with a few things in the back ground.

RGB & CMYK

Today while I also played with Iphoto I also was able to play around with something that demonstrates how the computer creates colors. I was able to finish the project with enough time to post it here. I find this a lot more interesting then when I actually physically did this in Physics last year!

IPhoto, YouPhoto, WeAllPhoto!

Iphoto is a program on the macs that allows you a place to store your photos along with providing the tools you'd need to edit a picture. Some ways of editing it is through rotating the picture, changing the focus of the picture and cropping the photo. A few examples...

And Again

Okay so today I finished my Pages project along with several other things... 
I updated my brochure, which means I just fixed the itinerary and uploaded that and my Main Document onto my blog to be graded.
Then I got onto Google Earth, I found my house. Which I noticed was not a very up to date picture because it showed that there were three trees around my house when there is now only one and my hammock that lays in the back yard was not there, oh well. I also found where I work and a few other places. Today was successful!


-Until Another Thing Pops in My Head!!

Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes

While I was working on my Itinerary in my main document I had to change a few thing on the Itinerary that I put into my BOCHURE. Nothing else changed, but I felt it would be best to show the changes rather then it look like brochure itinerary and my document itinerary don't match. 


-Until Next Time!

The Day has Come!

Success

The day has finally come, I have completed the wonderful Pages project. Through pages I, created a brochure and a word document. While creating these two documents I learned how to cite work through websites like noodletools.com and other websites similar to it. Also I learned how to get pictures that weren't through a google search. With all of this I have been able to create a project I am proud of, and that took quite a long time. My hopes is that someone may actually be able to use this one day to learn about Australia and go on this trip I planned. 


-Until the Next Project!

Finally

Today is the day, I finished all the major things in my project over Australia!

I have a few minor things to fix like the table of contents and things like that but my conclusion is done along with the itinerary and work log!

I am happy with how it looks I think it all has the right amount of things on each page, without being to much. I feel like the final outcome represents how much time and effort I put into this project. I feel that it looks nice. One other thing I need to do is put a page that says brochure is on another page or whatever, but that can be done in just a few minutes at the beginning of class thursday. That will give me plenty of time to put it on my blog and learn how to use google maps. Since I wasn't able to this class. 

-Until Next Time!

Happy Day

So many things were accomplished today, I have one third of my Itinerary done and the two other pages were the itinerary will go are set up with all of the decorative things that all of the pages have. I have six of the 18 days done in the itinerary and the others will be done next time, hopefully. I am also going to have to update my bibliography because I am getting more pictures as I go, but I am also using the same pictures so that the pages still go together.


-Until Tuesday!

Wonderful

Now that I have completed my brochure I am able to spend my whole time working on my complete document. I have a few more things to complete like the Itinerary and conclusion. But while I am doing that I am going to try hard and focus on things I can do to each page to make it more cohesive. I don't want each page to be over whelming with things, but I also don't want them to be under whelming either. Today I was able to accomplish not a whole lot, with the schedule we are following today I was not able to accomplish much. But I was able to update my work log and add another design thing to add more cohesion to the pages. It's all coming along.

- Unil Next Time!

I can see the finish line now

Brochure



Full Project

Brochure is now finished after weeks of work it is finished, thank god! I feel that it looks nice and meets the rubrics standards, but time will tell. My Full document is now complete and I think it looks good. 


-Until Next Time!

Well that's just great

I finished my brochure, completely finished it. And then because my computer doesn't have photoshop I had to log out on this computer and move over to another. Well while I have logging out I closed my perfect brochure without saving any of my work for the day. So After working on my brochure for almost an hour, I lost all of my work. I just love myself sometimes. Besides that mishap I have finished my document including page numbers, wonderful pictures, work cited pages, and more. All thats left is to finish my brochure and move it over into my document and write a conclusion. That can be done in and hour and thirty five minutes. Fingers are crossed


-Until Next Time

Accomplishments

I now have 2/3rds of my brochure finished, articles and everything. I still have to "pages" to do, I am just struggling to think of good things to put on those pages. I will be finished with my blog by the end of next class, no excuses. Also I have gotten caught up with my other document that I had previously lost. I am now farther then I was before I lost it. The backgrounds are cohesive and I feel like each pages goes well with all of the others. I need to make an  outline of something and put it in document. I have also decided that I am going to wait and put all of my bibliography into the project until the end because every time I up-date it and put it on its pages I have to rearrange everything else and I think that by waiting till it needs to go in it will lessen the likely hood on me messing something up!


-Until Next Time!
