Analog and Digital Color

 

Do Now:

-  To understand that light is additive (mixing of different RGB colors) and that pigments are subtractive (reflects RGB light)

-  To understand that RGB and the colors on a screen don't accurately show how it will be shown when printing. This is where CMYK (subtractive) comes in.

- Quality is sacrificed when digital printing compared to commercial printing when it comes to professional jobs.

- CYMK is useful when doing printing work as it accurately shows the colors when printed while RGB is better for digital work as it can create a large amount of colors that can be utilized in the design. 


Main Activity:

1. What are pixels? 

Pixels are small dots that make up images on a screen.

2. How is color viewed in computer monitors?

Pixels emit different colored lights and multiple lights from pixels come together to make an image and show on the screens.

3. What is the additive color space?

Additive color space is the mixing of Red, Blue and Green colors in order to create a spectrum of colors that can be used. 

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

In InDesign you make the RGB values to 0% to get black and with white you make each value 255%

5. What is the subtractive color space?

Subtractive color space is the mixing of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black in order to create a pigment that creates a color when reflecting light.

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

In InDesign you move the K slider in order to make the color black and make the K slider 100%. For white you move all of the CMYK sliders and make all of them 0%.

7. What is color calibration?

Color calibration is the process of a screen adjusting to display color  

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

PMS ensures color fidelity by giving each color a unique code so that the color could be replicated.

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

Analog color is the physical colors that are seen or made on paper.

10. What is digital color?

Digital color is the colors made on a computer.

Branded Print Ad: Reflection

Branded Ad Did Your Logo Do Well In The Ad? I think my logo did do well in the ad. The white color I put on it drags your eyes to it first since it contrasts with the dark colors on the ad. I also think its a good way to incorporate it on there as adding the logo to the bean would seen off and in this ad I'm not promoting one specific product but rather the brand as a whole so it made more sense to just leave it near the top of the ad. The logo stands out but not so much that it is the center of attention and allows you to gradually go from looking at the logo then the bean in the middle and then the text of the ad. If I were to change anything then I'd probably use my logo to promote a product. Putting my logo on a cup of coffee, can of coffee, or coffee bean bag would make more sense than leaving it at the top if I were to promote a product. Did Your Brand Research Help In The Making Of This Ad? I think brand research actually helped a lot when it came to making this ad. The ...

Logo Development

 Pencil Roughs For my pencil roughs, I decided to go with a few variations for half of the names I had because I wasn't really leaning towards one specific name at the time. During this process I spent a few days going over my names and what I wanted to do with them. With the names Torres, Alpine Sip, and Kosmik I had somewhat of an idea on what to do for them. For Torres I wanted to go for a script or transitional font in order to make the word Torres stand. For Alpine Sip, I had the idea of making a graphic of the alpine region. Finally for Kosmik, I decided to do a spacey idea, focusing on the cosmos, constellations and other aspects of space.  I personally found some of these sketches to be fun to make and I enjoyed making while others I didn't know what to do and decided to make something I believed fit the font. I feel like I could improve by taking better pictures of the images and maybe putting more thought and effort into those designs I wasn't motivated in making....

My Brand - Initial Ideas

  1. My brand belongs in the Beverage industry 2. The main product or service would be Coffee 3. The motivation of my brand would be to provide affordable and high quality coffee to customers 4.  Pleasant, Generous, Tasty 5. 3 values are to be affordable, have great quality, and have uniqueness to stick out from others,  6. I would like to have a sort of late modern/art deco/arts & crafts style with an aesthetic that represents Central America, 1–500 A.D. or Iberian Peninsula, 1400–1600 A.D. or Medieval  7. High Quality Coffee for Low Affordable Prices. 8. The demographics would be adults or anyone who enjoys coffee. There wouldn't be a gender limit because everybody drinks coffee and isn't specific to 1 gender. As for age it would mainly be targeted towards adults but also includes teens as there are some teens that drink coffee and while there are some kids who have coffee, it isn't directly intended for them.  9. My target audience would experie...
