Reflection on today.

Today I worked somewhat on Illustrator. It was very confusing! I get frustrated easily and you might imagine how I felt trying out this new system. I tried creating a landscape using vector art. I barely made it to step 5. I hope I can soon comprehend. I also learned the difference between vector vs. pixel.

Today, I did not get all of my work finished. I still need to complete some of my previous tasks and I also need to finish my food face.

Food face.

So today was a interesting day. Firstly, we read an article and discussed it with a partner. We then typed a 250-500 short summary about what our opinions are. Afterwards, we worked on our previous work that we didn't have time to finish.

Spectrometry Lab

Today, we did a lab. It had to do with spectrometry and colors. We also had to answer the following questions:

1. How do you think the Spectrometer works?

 It might use some sort of laser radiation that reads the amounts of color.

1. Were there any unexpected results? What were they?

 I don't think there were any unexpected results.

1. Were there any differences between the different printers?

 There were some small differences but nothing major.

1. 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.

 The colors are brighter and more vivid.

1. Did you notice the Hex Codes for each color. Would you say Hex codes have more in common with RGB or CMYK? Explain.

 They are more similar to RGB.

1. Do you think the use of spectrometry is important for publishers? Why or why not?

 Yes, It is important because they need he right code or they wont get proper results.

1. What sort of consequences may arise if spectrometers were not used in publishing?

None of the colors would be right and there could also be little or no contrast so it would be very difficult to read the text.

iPhoto Challenge!

We were given two pictures. One we had to start out with and the second one we needed to try to get the same results by editing. Here is the original picture:

And here is the one that Mr.W did:

And the one that I did:

To get similar results, I enhanced it, I put boost color to four, added a vignette, and edge blurred on two. I also made the temperature lower, made the tint higher, and added more exposure and saturation.
