Following the guidelines within these elements and principles creates functional and pleasing environments. 2 Same picture, two different 2-color processes Top: Duotone Pantone Black 6C Pantone 715 C Bottom: Flat tint Grayscale Pantone 715 C fill space Fundamentally, “space” is a defined area. A space has physical or imaginary boundaries. A space also includes positive and negative areas. Positive space includes “mass” such as furnishings and wall art; negative space includes empty areas around the positive spaces (such as traffic areas and blank walls). A good use of space provides function and comfort. 3 CMYK tint combinations 1 Cyan, Magenta, Yellow 2 Cyan, Yellow, Black overprint reverse out 3 Magenta, Yellow, Black 4 Magenta, Cyan, Black 1 2 surprint 3 4 line Lines influence a mood. Vertical lines give a feeling of formality. Vertical lines can include columns, tall furniture, and long curtains. Horizontal lines give a feeling of calmness and sturdiness. Bookshelves, long furniture, and window blinds can acheive this effect. Diagonal lines give a feeling of activity. Diagonal lines can include staircases, vaulted ceilings, and slanted furniture. Curved lines give a delicate feeling. Arches, drapery swags, and rounded furniture can add curved lines to a space. 4 shape The shape of areas and objects within them affect the feel of a space. Rectangles and squares give a feeling of stability. Diagonal shapes, such as triangles and diamonds, give a feeling of activity. Curved shapes, such as circles and cylinders, give an organic and relaxing feeling to a space. Using the same shapes throughout a space provides a sense of unity. Adding a small amount of different shapes avoids monotony and adds visual interest. 5 Texture is the surface characteristic of an object. Different textures help create a character and physical feel. The texture of objects can be soft, hard, smooth, rough, shiny, or dull. Soft, smooth, and shiny objects give a luxurious and formal feeling. Hard, rough, and dull objects give a casual and informal feeling. Skillfully mixing and matching textures can provide variety and a sense of formality, luxury, comfort, or casualness. 6 light Light can come from natural (sunlight) and artificial sources. Light is not only functional, it also gives a certain feeling and influences the well-being of occupants. Occupants need light to accomplish tasks and emotionally and physically feel well. Not enough light can cause a somber mood and induce eye strain while too much light can cause an anxious mood and bring headaches. Also, light is affected by colors and textures. Light colors and smooth and shiny textures reflect light, making a space lighter. Dark colors and hard and dull textures absorb light, making a space darker. 7 Illustration combined with type Colors work together to affect the feel and look of a space. Understanding the basic color schemes can help in choosing harmonizing colors. An achromatic color scheme involves black, white, and gray. A monotone color scheme involves a blend of neutral colors such as cream, tan, and brown. A monochromatic color scheme involves various values and intensities of one color. An analogous color scheme involves colors next to each other on the color wheel. A complementary color scheme involves colors that are opposite each other. 8 pattern Humans—knowingly or not—seek patterns in their surroundings in order to feel a sense of order. Patterns can be established with line, texture, light, color, and decorative design (such as with walls, textiles, and decorative objects). Repeating the same pattern throughout a space is psychologically pleasing. Including too many objects that lack a common pattern or characteristic can induce a chaotic feel. 9 CMYK 4-color image with 2 spot colors: Everything in a space should have the same scale and Pantone 646 C 80% proportion. For example, a small room should have smaller furniture that fits comfortably within the space while a large Pantone 148 C 65% room can accommodate larger furniture. Pleasing proportions were discovered by the Greeks and are still followed today. The proportion of the Golden Rectangle is a width to length of 2:3. The Golden Section involves a ratio of 1:1.618. For example, if a wall was 7 feet wide, then a dresser that was about 4 feet wide would look proportionate and pleasing to the human eye. The Golden Mean involves the division of a line being between one-half and one-third. For example, to know where to tie a curtain, determine the half-way point. Then, go down before reaching the 1/3 point. 10 balance Objects, lines, and furniture groupings should be balanced with equal weight and distribution in order to provide visual comfort and order. Symmetrical balance is arranging objects equally on each side of an imagined line. Asymmetrical balance is arranging object groupings to be of equal size on an imaginary line. For example, one side could contain an object that is two feet wide, and the other side can contain multiple objects that equal two feet wide. Radial balance is arranging objects from the center and then outward of an imagined circle. The center of a table could include a tall object, and additional items could surround the tall object, progressively getting smaller as they move outward. 11 rhythm Rhythm refers to how a human’s eye focuses and travels to various items within a space. When designing a space, a goal should be for the eye to easily and purposefully look and move through the area. Repetition is repeating colors, patterns, textures, lines, light, and forms. Transition is using lines and shapes to help the eye flow from one object to another. Gradation is using a gradual chain of sizes or colors to flow from one to the next. The goal is to create a smooth flow of eye movement around the room and not a choppy one. 12 1 2 3 4 CMYK screens 1 Black (key) screen 2 Cyan screen 3 Magenta screen 4 Yellow screen 5 Four-color CMYK image 5 emphasis Emphasis is using a focal point in a space and then having all other objects support it. A focal point can be emphatic (naturally existing) or dominant (created by the designer). A fireplace, window with a beautiful view, architectural feature, bookshelves, picture groupings, or furniture piece can be a focal point. Subdominant objects placed across from the focal point, such as a sofa directly across from a fireplace or a window with a beautiful view, help to direct attention to the focal point. Subordinate items are the accessories that are used to further support the focal point and subdominant items. 13 harmony Using all the Interior Design elements and principles should orchestrate harmony in a space. A space should achieve unity to provide comfort but at the same time include variety to avoid boredom. Furthermore, items should go together, following the same style. For example, a Modern chair should be grouped with other Modern furniture. 14 Black & white page design 1 Chalk & charcoal filter 2 Charcoal filter 3 Conte Crayon filter 4 Halftone image with text 1 2 3 4 Shannon Mendez is a writer who enjoys learning and writing about a variety of interests including graphic and interior design. 15 Images: CMYK 300 ppi .tif sources Pages: Royalty-free images from Kaboompics Size: 8.5 x 11 • Cover: https://kaboompics.com/photo/7632/colorful- upholstery-fabric-samples Orientation: portrait • Inside cover: https://kaboompics.com/photo/7923/peony- Produced with: flowers-in-vase-on-marble-table Page layout: InDesign® • p 2: https://kaboompics.com/photo/4134/home-library-in- Illustrations: Illustrator® dining-room • p 3: https://kaboompics.com/photo/7516/modern-luxury- Images: Photoshop® furniture-in-showroom-store-armchairs-sofa-table-laps-rugs Fonts: • p 4: https://kaboompics.com/photo/3429/an-ornamental- Headlines: Museo 500 golden-plant-in-a-jar-by-the-bed-with-white-sheets • p 5: https://kaboompics.com/photo/7537/home-decorations- Body copy: Open Sans Regurlar vases Captions: Open Sans Light • p 6: https://kaboompics.com/photo/2126/wooden-floor- Page numbers: Museo 500 background; https://kaboompics.com/photo/2126/wooden- floor-background; https://kaboompics.com/photo/956/ scandinavian-pillows; https://kaboompics.com/photo/2055/ hexagon-floor-tiles • p 7: https://kaboompics.com/photo/7497/modern-living-room- furniture-set-with-glass-table-and-chairs • p 8: https://kaboompics.com/photo/6950/porcelain-glass- dishware-on-the-glass-table-and-pillows • p 9: https://kaboompics.com/photo/7558/luxury-livingroom- interior-with-table-archairs-commode-lamp-rug • p 10: https://kaboompics.com/photo/7521/modern-bedroom • p 11: https://kaboompics.com/photo/5711/peony-in-a-blue- vase • p 12: https://kaboompics.com/photo/7781/bedroom-with- colorful-letters-decor • p 13: https://kaboompics.com/photo/5383/party-table-flowers- lemons-limes-drinks • p 14: https://kaboompics.com/photo/9254/a-bouquet-of- flowers-and-a-cup-of-coffee-on-the-bedside-table • p 15: https://kaboompics.com/photo/2417/contemporary- black-and-white-home-decor • Inside back cover: https://kaboompics.com/photo/4637/white- and-bright-interior-of-a-designer-living-room 16 Four color CMYK image full bleed Shannon Mendez .

  • Mean Green Interpreting the Emotion of Color (Art + Language)
    Mean Green Interpreting the Emotion of Color (art + language) Is there such a thing as an all-black painting, all- green or all-red painting? Yes, there is! American artists around the 1950s turned from abstract expressionism to a movement labeling them colorists. Colorists painted with a monochromatic color palette using variations of one color. Their process was made easier with the introduction of acrylics and acrylic mediums in 1953. Painters like Barnett Newman, Morris Louis, Frank Stella and Ad Reinhardt created paintings in all black. They believed art was art and should be created without rules. This break in approach to art was not popular with art critics. The critics found that a closer look at the monochromatic paintings exhibited details and required more thought. Artists added texture and surface variations to enhance the monochromatic paintings. American colorists changed the artists image from Materials that of realistic human behavior to the use Blick Canvas Panels 11" x 14" (07008-1114), need of color for feelings.

  • OSHER Color 2021
    OSHER Color 2021 Presentation 1 Mysteries of Color Color Foundation Q: Why is color? A: Color is a perception that arises from the responses of our visual systems to light in the environment. We probably have evolved with color vision to help us in finding good food and healthy mates. One of the fundamental truths about color that's important to understand is that color is something we humans impose on the world. The world isn't colored; we just see it that way. A reasonable working definition of color is that it's our human response to different wavelengths of light. The color isn't really in the light: We create the color as a response to that light Remember: The different wavelengths of light aren't really colored; they're simply waves of electromagnetic energy with a known length and a known amount of energy. OSHER Color 2021 It's our perceptual system that gives them the attribute of color. Our eyes contain two types of sensors -- rods and cones -- that are sensitive to light. The rods are essentially monochromatic, they contribute to peripheral vision and allow us to see in relatively dark conditions, but they don't contribute to color vision. (You've probably noticed that on a dark night, even though you can see shapes and movement, you see very little color.) The sensation of color comes from the second set of photoreceptors in our eyes -- the cones. We have 3 different types of cones cones are sensitive to light of long wavelength, medium wavelength, and short wavelength.

  • Lesson Two Color
    Cheryl Machat Dorskind Lesson 2 Painting Photos ! ! Lesson Two! Color! ! "I understand how scarlet can differ from crimson because I know that the smell of an orange is not the smell of a grapefruit ... Without color or its equivalent, life to me would be dark, barren, a vast blackness..." Helen Keller, The World I live In, 1908 ! You could spend a lifetime studying color. Ranging from the highly technical, scientific, physiological, and psychological to the sublime, there’s so much information on the subject. The process of painting photographs (also referred to as handpainting, handcoloring, and/ or hand tinting) poses questions regarding the nature of color. How you see the world and how you intend to illustrate this vision is dictated by color. Handpainting takes photographically perceived forms one step further, giving them refined definition through the selective addition of color. That is the power behind the art of painting photographs. The use of color and its narrative voice is a tool to enhance photography, adding a new dimension, and perhaps, new meaning. In 1987, I had an opportunity to spend an afternoon with the poet and photographer, Allen THE STRONG CONTRAST OF THIS PHOTO PROVIDED AN EXCELLENT CANVAS FOR VIBRANT Ginsberg.

  • Color Theory
    color theory What is color theory? Color Theory is a set of principles used to create harmonious color combinations. Color relationships can be visually represented with a color wheel — the color spectrum wrapped onto a circle. The color wheel is a visual representation of color theory: According to color theory, harmonious color combinations use any two colors opposite each other on the color wheel, any three colors equally spaced around the color wheel forming a triangle, or any four colors forming a rectangle (actually, two pairs of colors opposite each other). The harmonious color combinations are called color schemes – sometimes the term 'color harmonies' is also used. Color schemes remain harmonious regardless of the rotation angle. Monochromatic Color Scheme The monochromatic color scheme uses variations in lightness and saturation of a single color. This scheme looks clean and elegant. Monochromatic colors go well together, producing a soothing effect. The monochromatic scheme is very easy on the eyes, especially with blue or green hues. Analogous Color Scheme The analogous color scheme uses colors that are adjacent to each other on the color wheel. One color is used as a dominant color while others are used to enrich the scheme. The analogous scheme is similar to the monochromatic, but offers more nuances. Complementary Color Scheme The complementary color scheme consists of two colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel. This scheme looks best when you place a warm color against a cool color, for example, red versus green-blue. This scheme is intrinsically high-contrast. Split Complementary Color Scheme The split complementary scheme is a variation of the standard complementary scheme.

  • Recognition of Small Color Differences with Computer Vision Devices
    Recognition of small color differences with computer vision devices Irina G. Palchikova1, Evgenii S. Smirnov1 1 Technological Design Institute of Scientific Instrument Engineering SB RAS, Novosibirsk, Russia [email protected] Abstract. It is experimentally shown that a digital atlas of monochromatic color stimuli with a controlled width of the spectrum can be constructed by using the monochromator. A method for testing the spectral sensitivity of the camera's RGB sensors and measuring its color gamut is presented. For detection and quantitative characterization of small color differences of the image elements, it is proposed to divide the objective analysis of the image into blocks of the color segmentation and the evaluation of the color tone and the color difference. Keywords: digital image, color, dominant wavelength, saturation, digital color atlas, small color difference. 1 Introduction At the moment, the estimation of color and color differences of images are most often performed with the use of three-color colorimeters [1], which involve the optical lighting system and the optical imaging system providing the high spatial resolution. In such colorimeters, images are captured by photomatrices with three-color Bayer filters, which may be popular imaging systems, such as digital cameras or scanners. The recognition and the quantification of small color differences are needed in printing industry [2], development of devices using temperature-sensitive paints [3], criminal science [4, 5, 6,], expertise of documents, differentiation of strokes of document details, etc. Problems solved with the use of computer vision are so versatile that almost each particular case requires the development of specialized algorithms for the digital image processing [7, 8].
