October 29!

Today in multi media, we did an spectrometry lab! It was really fun, and it also helped me to understand (so much better) how spectrometers work. 

Spectrometry in CMYK and RGB

SPECTROMETRY IN CMYK AND RGB

1. How do you think the Spectrometer works?

They shine different colors of light and measure how much bounces back at it.

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

The object reflectance for the infrared light #4 was over 1.

3. Were there any differences between the different printers?

There were differences for each color between the different printers, although they were very slight differences.

4. Compare the printed color sheet to the one linked in the blog. What differences do you notice in the RGB display versus the CMYK printout?

The main difference that I notice is that the colors on the link are a lot more vibrant than the ones on the paper.

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 think  that the hex codes have more in common with RGB, because they are each a lot more similar to each other than the CMYK colors.

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

I think that the use of spectrometry is important for publishers, because if they did’t use it then every printer in the world would have different colors for what is said to be the “correct color”.

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

A consequence that would arise is spectrometry were not used in publishing is, each print out of each article would be in similar, yet different colors.

Today I experimented with iPhoto a little more.
Here is my before photo:

Here is my after photo:





















Can you guess what I did?


Well, I added contrast, shadows, saturation, sharpness, and color boost, I also cropped the photo.

Here is the original photo:                  

And here is my version of it (to match mr.w's photo):

To make these changes, Mr. W did a color boost, added a vignette, added shadows, and exposure.

Today we experimented with iPhoto.

Yesterday, I finished my project, so today I really didn't do a whole lot. Although, I did renew my blog page! I think that it looks really good!

Today I got a lot more done than I thought that I would, and I am almost done with my brochure (just need to add a couple pictures).  And on the other part of my project, I just need to redo some parts of my work log, because it was accidentally erased. I am a bit nervous about how I'm going to the itinerary for this "Norwegian summer vacation"

October 4

Well my project is coming along, but I'm still a little upset that my work was erased... I guess I will just have to get over it. Today I think that there was more work that I could have done, but I and still moving along.
