CONTEXTUAL COLOUR PROJECT



CONTEXTUAL COLOUR GUIDE

This simple project explores how various colours in an image can be filtered out. To begin with any preferred picture or image is taken with a camera and uploaded into Photoshop. The image is imported and converted to a smart object in order to prevent any alterations in the quality of the picture when modifying its size. The filter icon on the upper horizontal panel in Photoshop is clicked, followed by pixelate and crystallise and then the cell size is adjusted to any degree depending on the resolution of the photo/image. The process is then exported and saved in jpeg/png/gif  format etc.

The images below show the 3 stages of the process above. The first image is a picture taken with my phone camera at eye level(unedited) at my front porch. The  following edited pictures via photoshop pixelate icon show major colours that stand out. 

NOTE: That similar processes was followed for the other edited images as seen below.

The image below(cell size) was adjusted to 89.




The image below (cell size was adjusted to 270.






The following images below are further explorations in editing using opacity, exclusion etc.

Opacity also applied to the image to give a varied contrast.

Portland cement is the most common type used in concrete production. Aggregates : These are the solid materials that make up most of the concrete's volume. Aggregates include: Fine aggregates (such as sand) Coarse aggregates (such as gravel or crushed stone) Water : Reacts with the cement to form a chemical bond, creating the hardened material known as concrete. Admixtures (optional): Chemical agents added to alter the properties of the concrete, such as accelerating or slowing th...

COLOUR , plays an important role in the appreciation of our immediate and general environment and without it we would be lost, find our-selves devoid of the stimulation to our visual senses. So how does a human eye perceive colour?  First, a brief overview of how the human eyes work.   In order for us to see, light rays must be bent, or "refracted," so that they can reach the retina . Once the light reaches the retina, it's picked up by millions of "photoreceptors," or light-sensitive cells, called cones and rods. These cones and rods convert the light waves into information your brain can process, like colour , shape, and motion.(Levine,2017, Para.2). Basically, rods interpret light, and cones interpret colours . Animals that are truly colour-blind  completely lack cones, and animals that can only see during the day completely lack rods—but   these extremes are uncommon , and most animals have a combination of cones and rods. (Levine,2017, Para.3). A schematic ...
