Swatches Project

-
Image
      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 ...

  Amistad Mutiny was a slave rebellion including 53 slaves, that occurred on July 2nd, 1839. This rebellion took place on the ship Amistad off the coast of Cuba causing many legal problems during the American abolition movement.

The judge of the case, Andrew Judson, ruled the slaves on the ship as victims of kidnapping. The Supreme court upheld the lower court and private and missionary societies donations helped the surviving African Americans home. Only thirty five of the ...

Plessy Dissent

 Plessy V. Fergusson was a historic court case that created the idea of separate but equal. Justice Marshall Harlen wrote a dissent in a response to the case. This document just talked about how the justice disagreed with the majority ruling of the case. Harlan stated in the dissent that the United States Constitution is colorblind. He also claimed that there should not be a surperior ruling class of citizens. In his eyes everyone was equal. He believed it was unfair for the states to regulate citizens based off of just race.  One of the biggest points he makes in the dissent is the remark he made on freedom. He states that a country can not be known for it's freedom if not everyone is given the same rights. As a country if the United States want stories be known as the land of the free, everyone should be equal and given the same rights. Even if they are different races, everyone should be free.  I agree strongly with Justice Harlen because to be a strong nation we must ...
