Color and emotion

Tried to match names of the colors as best as I could. Not too many of the names grab your attention. I will try to be more clever in the future. 

Simple Image Color Comparison

The swatches to the right show the difference between the CMYK and the Pantone colors.  I started trying to match my pantones to my cmyk by using photoshop to sample my colors but they were not matching up when I would select them in illustrator. I then tried to match the colors by eye and that became very time consuming and not very efficient. So I began to search for a more efficient solution. In illustrator I was able to use the color guide window to change my colors from cmyk to the pantone. This produced a window of the pantone swatches that were close to my cmyk swatches. I then just went about selecting the pantones from this library to get the results I have posted with my image.

Mozilla Firefox logo history

Mozilla Firefox- The creation of the Firefox logo was a group effort among Daniel Burka, Stephan Desroches, and John Hicks. Daniel Burka was responsible for the concept of the logo, Stephan Desroches provided the sketch for the logo, and John Hicks rendered the final design for the logo. Firefox was actually renamed several times due to complications with other trademarks. The original name for firefox was actually Phoenix but there was complications with phoenix technologies. The next decision for the name of the company was Firebird. This caused conflict with the firebird data base. The final decision to make firefox the official identity of the company was made on February 9, 2004. November 9, 2004, Firefox 1.0 was released.

I find it comical that a fire fox is actually a small, red panda.

Not real! I was fooled as well.

Vaughn color star with C,M,Y,K percentages

This is my version of the Itten color star. I figured out my C,M,Y,K percentages for my shades and tints based on math. I used the template that was given to us for the yellow tints and shades as a comparison and guide for the other tints and shades. The primary and secondary colors were provided by illustrator. In order to find the tertiary colors, I found the median between the primary and secondary C,M,Y,K percentage values. 

Firefox_logo_reflection

This is my grey scale rendering of the Mozilla FireFox logo with a reflection of the logo onto a surface. I was able to render this effect by using a group of gradients with a low opacity. I believe this was my most successful grey scale study.
