The things i learned in this phase of the project is to how to apply different colors to effect the saturation which means you can have purely saturated, muted, or desaturated colors. That adding white to it will help lighting the color with a different shade. The hours i spent on this project was 6.5 hours mostly because I had to make sure i blended it right to get the right color which was very challenging for me and new.
Saturation Studies: Phase 1
For the color wheel I wanted to do was based off of roses, different colors of roses. The reason why I chose roses because roses are my favorite flower so I wanted to add that on to the concept of the color wheel of my idea. So I search differently beautiful different colors of roses that are real and mostly fake colors. The hours I spent on this was at least 5 at most because applying the pictures and remembering the step by step was slightly complicated, but I got the hang out of it and was able to finish it.
Saturation Studies: Phase 4
In this project, I learned how to desaturate colors and mute them without using black and how to utilize them in CYMK. I could have done the painting portion better if I was more patient before removing the tape. I also needed to be more careful with the water. When I paint in the future I may set up a table with nothing but the materials to prevent accidents like that. It was suggested that I moved the title (soft quack) higher so that it wouldn’t touch Thursday and I did that. I kept the bottom portion because it was alright, and I changed the bottom text to all the same muted color as the necros guide does. In the critique, until it was projected I didn’t notice that the circles were very transparent so I went back and made it darker.
Saturation Studies: Phase 3
Cards: Warm/Swissted Necros/Cross sensory words
The background is supposed to be saturated orange, the yellow is muted and the subtext is desaturated. It took me two hours to get this right because changing the text to being fully saturated didn’t look nice and I wanted to keep the muted yellow look to match the word soft. For the desaturated yellow I had to keep trying again adding about 50/50 magenta yellow but in the end, I used some black to make it stand out from the page without it being brighter than the title for visual hierarchy.
Didatic 1: Glossument Propinquity
The third spread in the book provides an illustration inspired by Monet Claude to describe the word propinquity (being close to something in time or distance). The materials used was black masking tape, inking pens, printer paper, paper clips, and post-its. The artist intended the concept to be a leap towards freedom through flight.
Saturation See: Phase 2
Time: 4 hrs
This phase of the project took longer than expected. Mixing various of color to get a different saturation of itself was very interesting and fun. I learned how how you can create your desaturated brown colors using the colors that compliment each other, such as Reference and green or yellow and violet. I also learned how you can desaturat the Colorw by adding white , this also changes the value from dark to light.

Cartographer
Word: Cartographer (Noun)
Definition: A person engaged in the production of maps.
Source: https://www.dictionary.com/browse/cartographer
Encounter: I saw this word on an bus advertisement while I was going to the movies during the week.

Iterate
Verb
Definition:
“to say or do again or again and again” – Merriam-Webster Dictionary
The word was used as Iterating in “The Inclusive Museum” by Sina Bahram, in the sentence ” Universal Design is the act of considering all audiences, or as many as we can, at the beginning of a project, and iterating upon this consideration until we arrive at a solution that is usable by far more people than if we had not taken such a design tact.”
The author uses this word in order to tell that there is always a repeating idea that keeps on going into their heads so that the projects they are working on can meet with the expectations of the idea that they constantly kept on thinking, also serving as a reminder of their original goal and how far they can accomplish by iterating that goal.
