I encountered this word while reading the guidelines for project #6 for COMD1100. “The finished inventory should include an image of the color reference and a series of proportionally sized color swatches.”

Now I know what that sentence was saying, I need to include an image of the fabric that I will be inventorying as references for its color.

Color Interaction Parings: Phase 4

Color Interaction Parings
Color Interaction Parings (Right: Romie/Left: Ayano)

For this project, I had to use my knowledge of color interaction, where the color are the same but the background color tricks our eyes to see differently. Also, because of how one is more d saturated, and other are much more muted color. Making the logo stand pop out or sinks it in. The hardest thing to do for this project was where we have to come up with a logo. We had trouble at first, however we decided on using abstract piece. (Explained in Phase 3) Took me about four hours and forty minutes in total, with sketching and everything.

I encountered this word, from the synonym, word tired. Because of the final is coming up, and just seeing your grade at the almost end of semester is unbelievable.  Its not something “Oh semester is almost over, I don’t really care”. I actually want to revised grades if it is lower than C+. However there is limited time to fix it unless if I do not know your grade before the end of the semester. From the experience I had in the semester, maybe it is something that I have to ask for my grade constantly if it is not updated.
