Due Date: Initial postings Monday 3/6, discussion open until 3/17 – but have the minumum postings done by 3/10
Turn in: Discussion on Canvas (coming soon – around 2/27)
Reading: Reading 8 Color
There are a lot of different topics to discuss about color, and we’ll be mashing them into one Canvas discussion. So, the minimum requirement is 4 postings (the initial posting, the second conversation starter, and at least 2 additional postings in response to others as a “discussion”)
For the initial posting (due Monday 3/6): Discussion how all the different aspects of color from the readings and class (perception, physics, art, reproduction, semantics …) can influence what we need to do as Vis designers.
For the second “conversation starter” – pick a “favorite” color ramp from Color Brewer and explain what it might be used for, and what it should not be used for (e.g. a different ramp would be more appropriate).
If you want something else to look at, check out Colorgorical – as a discussion point, you might provide a favorite ramp you created with it and compare it to what Color Brewer gives you.
The topics of the week should give you plenty to discuss.
