Analyzing Various Fonts Available

In this task, we were told to look at organic matter and inorganic matter and also the color textures that we would find in an image of choice.


So to begin with i had to find out what was the meaning of organic matter and non matter and research on the internet lead me to these explanations.
  • Organic matter - is matter that has come from a once-living organism; is capable of decay and one that has life in it. 
  • Non organic matter - Anything that does not contain any carbon like water. And one that would also not cause decay. One that doesnt have any life.
With the that taken note off, i looked for examples of each and from these examples, i would pick one that i would work with and analyze its texture. 
Some of the examples that i found for organic matter were those of living organisms that would decay later on. Such examples were :
  • Trees
  • Oranges
  • Grass
  • Feathers
Then with non organic matter these are the materials that i found :
  • Sunglasses
  • Chain
  • Bottle
  • Bracelet
These examples arose because the didnt not have any life or have any life that would cause any decay or die.

From the examples that i came up with, i had to pick one that i was going to work with either organic or non organic and examine the texture of the image. I was going to do this by scanning the matter and see what ways i can see the texture.
For this, i used a scanner and then i rolled the orange around so that i could get the peel effect of the orange and see the little 'pores' that the orange has, because the color of it could not really show the texture of the orange, i moved the scanned image into photoshop where i desaturated the image from color into a black and white balance and then changed the image to threshold to highlight the shadows and all. These shadows where going to show the little detail that the orange has around it.

THRESHOLD ADDED TO REVEAL TEXTURE




After scanning, i got the texture i wanted and i had a better sight of the detail that i wanted to obtain and think of a design where this type of texture could be applied and to me this looked like a type of texture that could be used on materials that need grip. So i put together the texture from the orange with a small texture of a sample picture of grip and to show that there is a little similarity where the this texture is used.






Above is a the texture off the scanned orange and the actual texture of a grip that is used for side paneling. 


Next, we were told to analyze the the different color shades that are found in an image. Told to notice color shades and how much they are in the image. Color shades to be noticed were 

  • CMYK
  • RGB
  • Patone pattern
So to analyze these, used the soft ware called Adobe illustrator where we were taught how to use and also get the same shades of color. This is the image to be worked on due to the different color variations it has :


After having the image in place had to place the image on a paper where can put the different colors on the side. After that was done, made little boxes by the side where the information and diiferent colors were to be shown. After the box was there, we took the eye dropper tool that collects color from an image, so clicking the box and the using the eye dropper we could easily select any color that we wanted to be in the box.


The image above shows the different colors that i managed to get from the image. These colors were placed on the right where the levels will be shown, the reason for having 3 of each was to have each box with its specific content, that being CMYK, RGB and the Patone level.
To obtain the color shades of each color, we clicked on the color box and then 
Edit -> Edit Colors -> Recolor Artwork and select Color Books where you will have a list of color books and from there we select PANTONE Pastone Coated. Once selected the color box will show the Pantone levels in that color.


The image below shows the Pantone levels that are present in that specific color.

There after we select on the same color box and we can get the different shades thus being RGB and CMYK by selecting which one. So we click on one color box and then select the color shade of choice, in this case we shall select CMYK.

The image above the CMYK color values that the color has and its put in percentages so levels are jotted down so that when labelling, can be easier to know the levels than using this method all the time.

Then to obtain the RGB colors, we simply change the selection from CMYK to RGB after selecting the third box.



The RGB levels are shown above and are placed in values easily seen.

So after obtaining all levels : CMYK, Pantone, RGB in one specific color, the same method is to be applied to the other colors obtained and once that is done, can easily label the color boxes with their specific color shades so that it is easily seen. The image below shows the levels of all the colors obtained.
