The Week in Vis 11 (Mon, Nov 9-Fri, Nov 13): Color

in Weeks in Vis

Another week of perception related topics, this time focusing on color. I used to spend 2 weeks of class discussing color because there is so much to say. We won’t get to talk about everything.

We will, however, have another special guest on Friday: Prof. Danielle Szafir from the University of Colorado. Danielle is Dr. Color. She was also a student in the very first offering of this class! In preparation for her class visit, I’ve included one of her recent papers in the reading list.

DC1-5: Redux (due Mon, Nov 9) is due at the beginning of the week.

Design Challenge 3 ( DC3: The Tree of Stuff) is coming! If you want to do the DC3 Alternate Assignment: Machine Learning, you need to email the Professor to make arrangements before Friday, Nov 13, so you can have a proposal together for Monday, Nov 16. Otherwise, DC3-1: Project Kickoff (due Mon, Nov 16) basically only asks you to confirm that you’ve read the assignment.

My intent was to have another design exercise for this week - but I didn’t get it prepared in time. Expect some more design exercises to be mixed in with class activities over the remaining weeks.
