The document provides an agenda and information for a design class. The agenda includes finishing critiques, starting a new unit on raster graphics, an overview of an upcoming presentation assignment, and a guest speaker. The unit on raster graphics discusses key concepts like resolution, bit depth, color modes, and applications. It also covers appropriation in art and provides examples. The unit project asks students to design an alien life form or landscape based on their interpretation of life. Requirements include using photos and writing a response. Resources on exoplanets and science fiction are also shared.

1. AGENDA: Wednesday Sept 13, 2017
• Finish up critiques
• Dive into UNIT II
• Presentation assignment overview
• Photoshop Stuff
• Rembrandt is visiting!
2. WARM UP
Video warm up: Contrasting Elements & Stylistic choices
• What are some contrasting elements in these two videos
• What is an element of design that is cohesive throughout both of these
videos (each video may have a different element that is the focal point
of each video)
• Use one word to describe the style of one video of your choice.
In the visual arts, style is a "...distinctive manner which permits the grouping
of works into related categories". or "...any distinctive, and therefore
recognizable, way in which an act is performed or an artifact made or ought
to be performed and made". – from the wiki
4. Refresh: Analog vs Digital
• What is Digital Data?
• What is Analogue Signal?
5. Raster
• Raster based software uses a Grid of
Pixels (dots) to simulate a continuous
tone image.
• A raster is technically characterized by
the width and height of the image in
pixels and by the number of bits per
pixel (or bit depth, which determines
the number of colors it can represent)
• Pixels and Bit depth Source: Wikipedia
6. Source: Wikipedia
• The quality of a Raster image is
determined by two things
• Resolution (the total number of
pixels),
• Bit Depth (the amount of
information each pixel is capable
of displaying).
• Image size, Dimension, &
Resolution explained
Raster Quality
7. Source:
• A note about
Resolution and Bit Depth
• You cannot simply add more
Resolution or increase Bit
Depth.
• What you start with is what
you get.
• You can always go down
but you can’t go back up.
• Let’s Enhance!
8. Applications
• Different mediums require different Resolutions.
• Most monitors display at 72 PPI
• Most inkjets will print well at 200 PPI
• Commercial printing applications require a
minimum of 300 PPI
9. • Color Modes determined how the
components of color are combined, based
on the number of color channels in a color
model.
• There are three Color Modes that we will be
concerned with in this class.
1- Grayscale – one color channel
2- RGB (Red, Green, Blue)- three channels
3- CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black) -
four channels
Color Modes
10. • Resolution, Bit Depth, and
Color Mode can all be set
when you create a new
Photoshop document by
selecting “New” under the
“File” menu
Photoshop
11. Appropriation
• The use of pre-existing objects
• To properly adopt, borrow, recycle
• Readymades of Marcel Duchamp

27. UNIT II PROJECT: LIFE
https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-telescope-reveals-largest-batch-of-earth-size-habitable-zone-planets-around
Life: the condition that distinguishes animals and plants from inorganic matter, including the
capacity for growth, reproduction, functional activity, and continual change preceding death.
QUESTIONS:
What is life?
-How do we define life?
-How do you define life?
What is needed for life to exist?
-Chemical compositions of ..?
-Atmosphere?
-H2o
28. Project Overview
Design and compose a glimpse into some type of life form that you envision to be out of this
world! NASA’s discovery of the Trappist I system had everyone talking about alien life form.
What would life look like on other planets that can harbor the big word, LIFE? Chemical
compositions are a good way of giving us some clues but without actual data, we’re not 100%
sure. Your goal for this project is to create your own alien landscape/lifeform/essence of an
alien planet. You will do this by gathering photographs and creating a photomontage.
LIFE will be open to interpretation here: You can choose to create a plant, a landscape, a
lifeform of some type; animal, humanoid, bacteria, insect, etc.. It can be political, historical,
controversial *Note that you will need to be able to explain your decision and give a little bit of
background information about your piece.
29. Objectives:
To understand and apply the use of Raster graphics to
create a composition both in digital and tangible form.
To gain a basic understanding of raster based digital
imaging software (Photoshop)and the
vocabulary and techniques associated with it.
To use and apply the basic principles of design
REQUIREMENTS:
Use 4-6 Images
o Three Images must be taken by you.
o The rest may be stock source images
Photo must 8x10 inches at 300 dpi
Written Response
Credible source from research

An analog or analogue signal is any continuous signal for which the time varying feature (variable) of the signal is a representation of some other time varying quantity, i.e., analogous to another time varying signal. For example, in an analog audio signal, the instantaneous voltage of the signal varies continuously with the pressure of the sound waves. Packets of sound made with your vocal cords.
Digital data, in information theory and information systems, are discrete, discontinuous representations of information or works, as contrasted with continuous, or analog signals which behave in a continuous manner, or represent information using a continuous function.
“Raster graphics are the other major type used to create computer images. This type is commonly associated with digital photography, but it also pertains to other kinds of images that use continuous tone or color.” Pg 53.
Raster graphics are also referred to as bitmapped images, this means that they are literally bits mapped on a grid.
Each raster image is mad up of data bits that are mapped or fixed to the pixel on a screen. Organized in a vertical and horizontal grid so the resolution of a bitmapped image is determined by the number of pixels in a 1-inch by 1-inch area.
The smiley face in the top left corner is a raster image. When enlarged, individual pixels appear as squares. Zooming in further, they can be analyzed, with their colors constructed by adding the values for red, green and blue.
Resolution is simply how many Pixels (dots) make up an image.
More dots mean higher quality. Less dots mean lower quality. We describe Resolution in terms of Pixels Per Inch (PPI).
The pixels per inch (PPI) unit differs from dots per inch (DPI) unit, which has to do with the number of dots per inch in a printed version of a computer image.
Ei- average laser printer has a resolution of between 300 t0 600 DPI so an image with the same resolution as the printer will print well and sharply
In this class we will work with three color modes
Grayscale: one color channel
RGB (Red, green, blue): Three Channels
CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black) 4 Channels

Appropriation in art is the use of pre-existing objects or images with little or no transformation applied to them. In the visual arts, to appropriate means to properly adopt, borrow, recycle or sample aspects (or the entire form) of human-made visual culture. Notable in this respect are the Readymades of Marcel Duchamp.
The readymades of Marcel Duchamp are ordinary manufactured objects that the artist selected and modified, as an antidote to what he called "retinal art". By simply choosing the object (or objects) and repositioning or joining, titling and signing it, the Found object became art.
The concept of avant-garde refers primarily to artists, writers, composers and thinkers whose work is opposed to mainstream cultural values and often has a sharp social or political edge. The initial definitive statement on the avant-garde was the essay Avant-Garde and Kitsch by New York art critic Clement Greenberg, published in Partisan Review in 1939.
Many artists have aligned themselves with the avant-garde movement and still continue to do so, tracing a history from Dada through the Situationists to postmodern artists.

Artist: Born and raised in Kenya, Wangechi Mutu moved to New York in the mid-1990s to study art and anthropology at the Cooper Union and sculpture at Yale. She is best known for collages based on images clipped from magazines (including fashion, pornography, and National Geographic) and from books about traditional African art. She joins these disparate body parts with hand-drawn passages and pooled ink washes on nonabsorbent Mylar. The resulting figures suggest hybrids of human and machine, disease and power, seduction and violence. These works invert Western pictorial stereotypes of Africa as a "dark continent" and of women as helpless sexual objects. Recently, she has incorporated her collages into large-scale installations executed directly on the gallery walls.
Claudio Dicochea is best known for his contemporary take on “casta” (caste) paintings, a genre popularized in 18th-century colonial Mexico that was intended to record the new phenomenon of racial mixing in the New World. These portraits captured families arranged in sets from lightest-skinned (Spaniards) to darkest-skinned (African slaves and conquered Native Americans) reflecting the social hierarchy imposed by Spain on colonial society. In the same vein, Dichochea’s work explores, in his words, “how genealogy, sexual desire and poverty affect our own structuring of identity.” He bases each painting on an original casta, but replaces the original personages with archetypes from popular media, comics, and world history. He also inverts the Spanish convention of depicting a white man with a dark-skinned woman, raising questions about how the child of two stereotyped parents is to be perceived.

2. In general terms, what would be the way in which you would suggest reading your work?
The idea of the passage of time is present in my work. That is why my suggestion is to stop to let yourself be invited to the trip.
David A. Augilar
director of public affairs and science information at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
This is a body of work from Augilar’s Children book, Alien Worlds where he “…presents eight worlds, all modeled after Earth-like planets and moons that actually exist in the Milky Way galaxy
“To illustrate Alien Worlds, Aguilar created models of marvelously imaginative aliens out of wood, plastic and clay. He photographed these models, and, then, in Photoshop, added colors, textures and other charismatic features.”
