Sprite Modification #2

I've forged a few more sprites, so please comment.

Banner Rating

I almost forgot to post my self-evaluation on my banner.
I honestly think I could have done better, but I personally really like it, despite its lacking elements. I like the values of the colors and shades, I like the complimenting colors (for the most part), and I like my collage of characters. It follows a general, but not too specific, theme and is fairly fluent with the color scheme of the blog itself.
I rate it a 3/4.
Feel free to rate it yourself with a comment.

Thank you.
Bleed.

Palette Picking - My Scheme

Considering my personal favorite colors, I composed this particular scheme.

What is the colour system used for printing?
- Magenta, Cyan and Yellow are used as primary colors
How can you ensure proper colour rendering in print?
What are complementary colours? Give an example
- Colors opposite of one another on the color wheel. Example: Red and Green.
What are tertiary colours? Give an example
- Colors formed by the mixing of secondary colors. Example: Magenta.
What is meant by a visually advancing colour?
- An advancing color is an active color that dominates in the dimension of standing out when contrasting passive colors. An active color being a bright red, whereas a passive color being a dark blue.
What could cause vibrating boundaries to occur?
How can you find a complementary colour without a colour wheel?
What is an after image?
- After staring at an image for a prolonged period of time, you may portray that particular image after dismissing the image you were staring at.
What is a monochromatic colour relationship?
- Having different shades of the same color hue in a color scheme.
What is an analogous colour relationship?
- Having colors close to one another in the color wheel compliment one another in a color scheme.
What is contrast?
- Contrast is the opposition of two elements or subjects.
What could cause simultaneous contrast to occur?
- A double-splitted complementary color scheme.
Name and describe three of Itten’s Colour Contrasts.
- The Contrast of Saturation: Juxtaposing two or more colors of light and dark, but within the same color saturation.
- The Contrast of Light and Dark: Juxtaposing light and dark values, regardless of saturation.
- The Contrast of Hue: Juxtaposing values of different hues.
How do you determine the dominant colour?
- The dominant color is basically the color that takes up the highest total amount of space in your sheme.
How can you create an accent with colour?
What is the difference between contrast dominant and value dominant?
- Contrast dominant would be the intensity of contrast between different colors and values, whereas value dominant would be the standing out of a particular brightness of a color.
What is one method of identifying possible options for colour schemes?
- With the theme of the subject in mind, determine what colors could portray that particular theme. Also, with the theme of the subject, you could determine what colors could attract the attention of viewers to that particular theme.

"Poor boy... became... a slave... to use... rebuild... what's left... of this child... so weak..." - To Return, by Chevelle

The presentations were indeed boring. Thankfully we had enough time to get into the graphic design using Macromedia Fireworks, which I became fairly familiar with since the beginning of the semester in my Desktop Publishing class. I created my blog banner, which could look better with enough time and effort, but with only thirty or so minutes to spare, the above banner is what I produced - at least for now. Perhaps I'll work on a banner at home to replace it; I'm not sure. But either way, I've been consumed by anticipation for upcoming projects in this class. I'm excited for further graphic design, animation, game design, etc. But for now, I'll have to repress that excitement and focus on what we're doing now.
Anyways, I think that's all I have to say - for now.

Sincerely,
Bleed.

Sprite Modification

I've had a little time on my hands, believe it or not.

So I present a couple little creations I have recently given birth to.

Learning Blog Post #6

Basically,
Today, I sat through a few presentations with a decent dose of patience.
Learned about a couple sites I've never heard of, as well as a few sites I'm already familiar with.
One thing I didn't like about this was the two presentations on Myspace, considering it was fairly criticized when I personally really enjoy the site.
I forged a custom pokemon sprite through fusion of already made pokemon, and it turned out beautiful.
Aside from that, that is what I've accomplished today.
Oh, and I'm addicted to the song "In Debt To Earth", by Chevelle. Random thought.
Can't wait for graphic design. Excitement.
That's all for now.

Farewell,
Bleed.

Learning Blog Post #5

Not much to say today, especially with one minute to spare.
So I'll post this quick.
My power point is done - I think.
I'll have to review it tomorrow carefully and thoughtfully for specific advancements.
That's all I have time to say.

Farewell,
Bleed.

Learning Blog Post #4

Well, I'm a little excited about working on my powerpoint, considering I already have thoughts and ideas of how I'll present it - and hopefully I'll do a good job of doing so.
I'm still presenting MetaCafe, thank the abyss, and will definately put in great effort into its introduction to the class.
I wonder what I will gain from this assignment.

Warcraft Status

A simple and random post to give my online usernames for both of my World of Warcraft and Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne accounts.
