Color Mode Exercise

 Selfie

RGB:

The RGB image had 16.7 million colors and the file size is very big because of the amount of color that the image has in it. This is the biggest one out of all of them because of all the colors and it is the original.

Index color:

The index color image has 10 colors because it is the color that I chose. The file size is one third of the original RGB image because it has less colors and that makes it smaller.

Greysale:

The greyscale image has 256 colors or shades of grey. The file size is one third of the original RGB image but it is the same as the index color image. It is way smaller that the RGB image because it does not have the same amount of colors.

Bitmap:

The bitmap image had only 2 colors it was only either black or it was white. The file size was way smaller than all of the other ones, even the greyscale and the index color images, and the reason for that is that there are only 2 colors in the file.

Prep Quiz

Can you change FILE FORMAT just by changing its name?

No, you can't change the file format like that because you will confuse the computer.

How many colors are in the following COLOR MODES?

RGB: 16.7 milion

INDEXED COLOR: 256 or less

Greyscale:256

BITMAP:2

What happens to the (uncopressed) FILE SIZE as you change the COLOR MODES?

The file size changes by the amount of colors you have in the image. If you put less colors the file size is going to be smaller.

What happens to the visual quality of images as you REDUCE the number of colors by changing the color mode?

As you reduce the number of colors you also reduce the file size of the image and so you reduce the quality.

What is a good reason to convert PSD files to JPG?

You change a file to JPG when you complete the image and it is ready to go online.

Goals of the assignment

I think the goal of the assignment was to see how the different colors and the way you overlapped the different text and symbols reacted to each other. Another thing is to know when your images are overlapping and how they change with the different images you put in the project.

New skills learned

Some of the things that I learned during the crayon rubbing project is how scanning is suppose to be done and that scanning and almost everything that we use or see today uses RGB colors. I also learned the 3 things that affect the file or image that you also have to look out for. Also the 3 things to be aware when saving a file.

My crayon rubbings critic

This first crayon rubbing piece is composed of really bright but similar colors. The texture that cover the page is really patchy and green. The text I chose was of the AWC Gallery which I chose to rub it with the color yellow which is also very bright which I liked. and the final image is of the wheelchair symbol which is located in the restrooms. I enjoy very bright colors and that is why I chose those types of colors. The patchy texture that I put as the background is the side of a trash can which was made up of glued rock to the side of the bin. The AWC Gallery text was the sign that was of the front door of that room and that room really intrigued me to go inside and that is why I chose it. The last image was the wheelchair symbol for the mens restroom and I chose it because accessibility is really important to me.

The second crayon rubbing pieced I made I used some really bright and a sort of dark color. I just now notice that the colors which I used are RGB which is the things that we are learning in class at the moment of writing this blog, so I think that was just crazy. Well the green was a more darker green but it is still green. The texture that I chose was the table of a bench which was made up of wood and it was old and cracked so it made me interested in seeing how it was going to transfer to the paper. The text that I chose was the number 115 and I chose it because it brings me memories of a video game I always play which depicts that number as a big part of the storyline. The third image I chose was the symbol for the males restroom and I chose it simply because I'm a male.

Introduction

About me

Hi my name is Arturo Partida I am currently a Computer Graphics major and I plan to keep it that way. I was born in Yuma, AZ but I have live my whole life in San Luis AZ. My family is from San Luis Rio Colorado, Sonora but my mom move to San Luis AZ when my older brother was born and she has been living there ever since therefore so have I. Picking a Computer Graphics major was very influenced by my love for movies and video games. 

Future plans

My future plans for continuing an education is maybe going to the Art Institute of Phoenix it is something I am very interested in but the only thing that is putting me down is that it is so expensive. I would have gone to that Art Institute about a year ago but the price scared me but now I am very encouraged in going there.

Experience

I have minor experience with any kind of graphics class. I took Graphic Communication 1 in my first semester but I failed it because it was an online class and I hate online classes, why learn from text when you can learn from someone with experience and that can help you if you are having problems.

Where I see myself in 10 years

I see myself in 10 years being able to support myself and if I have a family them too. I see myself doing something that I love to do and having a career doing that. I see myself having at least a nice house and the necessary thing to survive.

Favorite vacation

My favorite location for a vacation would be Spain or Greece where the scenery is just beautiful and you can visit the whole country and meet new people.
