Swatches Project

-

     In this project we were to create a color scheme based off of a picture we had taken. I took this picture of this wheat field that bloomed a random red flower right in the middle of the green abyss. Afterwords, I took the three major colors from the picture and created a color scheme. The three colors I chose to use are red, green, and light blue. 


In this task I chose to create a color swatch of all of the colors in the image. The colors on the far left are the three basic colors in the image. Afterwards, I went into indesign and created different tints on the images. The images on the far left have 100% tint. The images in the middle are much lower. The red middle is around 65 percent along with the others. The final colors in the final collums are the lowest tint. These tints created a light tint to every color. 
    The final part of the project consisted of me creating a name plate that was based off of the color schemes I created in Indesign. I chose to write my name on the top of the nameplate with a few factors or words that described more about me. For instance, I wrote fisher, broadcaster, and media major, because these all describe who I am with my time at High Point University. Each color was used in different places and ended up creating some pretty cool color combinations. 
    In conclusion, this project was very fun and helped me become a lot more comfortable with Indesign. A project like this will help me be ready to create more work and art through Indesign. I felt the most comfortable during this project compared to all the other projects this year. I really enjoyed this work and plan on doing more with Indesign in the future.

Religion Team Challenge

For many years slavery was the dividing factor of the United States acting as a divider between many people. For 70 years America was stuck in a civil war between those who are pro slavery, and those against it. Many people pointed to religious works that would either support or refute slavery. The Bible was a major piece of work many Christians used to argue their points. Today the Bible will be shown in the ways it was against slavery or for slavery.  The Bible has been known to condemn slavery today for many obvious , and also was against it hundreds to thousands of years in the past. Throughout the bible there are many example and quotes that prove slavery should be condemned. One of the most iconic quotes against slavery comes from the chapter of Exodus 21:16. The reading states, “Whoever steals a man and sells him, and anyone found in possession of him, shall be put to death.” According to this quote in the bible it is clear that Chrisiantiy was against slavery. The reading s...

  Today in class a mock trial of the case of Bakke v.s Board of Regents was held. This case occurred in the year of 1978 and was between Allan Bakker and the Board of Regents at the University of California. Bakke sued the University because the medical school left 16 seats of the 100 seats to anyone who is considered a minority. This could be anyone of Asian, African American, or anything other than white descent. Bakke was denied admissions to the school two times. In retaliation, or constitutionally, he decided to sue the school. He stated that what the school was doing was unconstitutional and racist. During this case, the Supreme Court ruled that the University of California, included quotas that were considered racist in it’s admissions process. However, this did not mean that race would not be considered in future admission processes. The court ruled that schools may consider race to allow more diversity in the school or specific program. The admissions however, should be as...

   Today in class we watched a video that covered the historical March on Washington that occurred in the capitol of our nation. This march occurred during the 1960's right in the middle of many civil rights movements. The protests first started mostly in the Southern states where racism and segregation was a much larger problem than up north. The first protest occurred in 1955 in Montgomery Alabama. The protest sparked from the case of Rosa Parks where she refused to give up her seat to a while man on a bus. This initial protest lead to many more and started some violence. These protests kept occurring in the south and violence was repeated throughout.    Civil rights activist A. Phillip Randolph, stated that the marches were not causing and procession in the south and kept getting shut down. He believed that the march needed to be sent up north where the movement would be a national icon.   One of the...
