Color Theory

 

  1. What are pixels?


The basic unit of programmable color on a digital display or image

2.How is color viewed in computer monitors?

Colors in monitors are viewed in RGB, Red Green Blue which derives from and is equivalent to white light.

3. What is the additive color space?

Additive color space is the white light that produces red, green, blue.
4. Describe which additive color sliders values in InDesign you would use to make white and black.

  Indesign has the the tint slider to adjust the saturation of the color we intend to use. Black would be set to (R: 0 G: 0 B:0.) White would be set to (R: 255 G: 255 B: 255) .

5. What is the subtractive color space?

The color space where cyan, magenta, yellow, and black is produced in pigment and paint. Printers are known to be based on CYMK subtractive colors.

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

        In this case white of CYMK is the absence of color so everything is set at zero in the slider. However black is set at (C: 75 M:68 Y:67 K:90)

7.What is color calibration?
The measure the input and output of color on a screen

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

        
The Pantone Matching System standardizes colors and assigns each color a certain number and name. By using the Pantone system, people in different locations can refer to the same color by knowing the number that identifies that color. Since each color has its own unique number and when it finds a match, it is used in the printing process. 


       9.What is the analog color?

 Analog(ous) colors are when colors are very similar to each other, especially when they are next to each other on a color wheel. 


        
 10.What is the digital color?
     
Colors that are used digitally which are RGB (Red,Green,Blue) and CMYK (Cyan,Magenta,Yellow,Black).

Giovanni Portrait

       What I learned during the process for both portraits is the importance of lighting and shading in an image, photo, or drawing. It shows the direction where light is coming from and it's crucial to making the drawing more realistic and detailed for both gray and colored portraits. The colored portrait required more creativity but the same sense of detail as the grayscale portrait. By doing so I also learned how to use the gradient tool and the saturation settings in adobe. The color of my work can improve by adding additional lighting to the red collar and the silver webbing around it In the program the lighting of the hair is more present than shown in the image. The creative element my portrait shows is the reflection of my lenses since there is a balance of lighting between the shade and the illuminated parts of my cheeks. In addition the lighting of my hair is very distinct from the darker parts which makes the hair look very well done. I appreciate the fin...

Type Self Portrait

 I wasn't sure what font to use at first which made it difficult as to how to start of the portrait. However it would've been better to go for a serif font since it is less restricted that a sans serif font which allows for more precise letter placements and creativity. In terms of accuracy it is subpar compared to other works. I feel I could improve in letter variety to make certain areas of my portrait pop out more and be more accurate to my face. The areas of growth I've improved in would be creativity and decisiveness during the illustrating process such as using the parenthesis and "O" for the eyes. The curve of the parenthesis was versatile so it allowed me to also shape the ears very precise to the my self portrait model. The nose and hair were the most difficult parts for me to draw precisely to the original portrait of my mine since it was confusing how to use a variety of letters for those areas. The easiest part to draw for me at least was the ears sinc...
