Almost there! March 9 & 10 will be a work day.

There are many ways to create the polygon frame. You can also use tracing paper to make your polygon shapes, then bring it into illustrator and apply color.

Warhol/Thompson Project is due, mount your favorite Warhol, Contour Line and Thompson Page(s) on a black board and write your name on the back. Also, please remember to bring in a photo of an animal so we can start the polygon animal project.

And this is the last exercise that will need to be included in your notebook (hooray!)

Website Color Palettes: Color on the Web
Considering that many websites share communication and smoothness of navigation as goals, choose websites which demonstrate some of the following qualities:

Part A: Color enhances organization.
The website functions clearly and smoothly. You don't have any doubts about how to move around. Color is used to aid navigation.
Part B: Color impedes the ability of the site to function.
The website navigation is confusing. Color is an obstacle.
Print out a characteristic page of the two websites for your class notebook, and create color blocks (palettes with RGB breakdown). Write 2-3 sentence summary of your findings, and why it works or doesn't work.

Please have all three components from Part 1 ready for review this week on the Warhol Thompson project. If you have time and want to work on the Thompson part that will be beneficial. And remember to be looking for an animal portrait to bring to Week 9 for the Polygon animal.

This was posted by Marc, and I love how simple and clear color theory is presented. A great overview with some helpful tips too.

Paint Chip Conversion: Spot, CMYK and RGB

1. After you get your random color swatch, use the Pantone matching system to find the closet color match. Make note of the Pantone number (and carefully remove the chip from Instructor's book for your reference).

2. Next, match the color as close as possible using CMYK color and printing with an inkjet printer. (Note: Try several colors on a sheet and make a notation about the cmyk breakdown to speed up the process)

3. Lastly, match the color in RGB on the screen. Take a screen shot, print out, write the numbers next downm and include it in your notebook.

You have 45 minutes in-class time to complete the 3 steps. Maker sure to include the project in your note book. Make color notations for all your color breakdowns.
