Week 4 BLOG- Color Presentation

Week 4- Color Presentation


Sherwin Williams

Paint + Pigment 


This presentation was very interesting and went into depth about what we covered last week. 

We talked about hue, tone, shade, etc.. There were many new terms and concepts that we explored in the slide show. Metamerism is the phenomenon that occurs when color changes under different light sources. We also talked about Light Reflective Value or LRV and Refraction which is when light is refracted differently depending on the surface texture of an object, causing different impressions. 


After this we talked about colors and the emotion they invoke, as well as the way they are used in a space. This led into the concept of pigments. We answered questions as a class, such as, what color is the most dynamic and learned that red is the answer. We continued to discuss Durability (restability of paint), Fade Resistance, Glass vs Sheen, Surface Finish Categories, Colorants, Washable Flat Finish, Interior Water Based Acrylic Enamel, and Primers. 


Lastly, we submitted the visual wallpaper assignment. This was very fun to do and I am super happy with the result. It is amazing to see the line weight and the value of the dense areas compared to the less dense areas.

Week 7 BLOG: The Principles of Design Pt. 2

  Week 6 BLOG: The Principles of Design Pt. 2 This week in the principles of design pt. 2 lecture we talked about rhythm. Rhythm is the repetition, progression, transition or contrast in a space. Rhythm directs someone's attention around the space and enhances the overall impression of the room. Rhythm is often always needed to enhance an interior space. It can be applied to color, texture, shape or pattern and leads the eye throughout a room to enjoy every aspect of the design.  There are 5 main types of rhythm. Repetition, gradation, contrast, transition, and radiation. Repetition is when an object, shape, texture or color is repeated within an interior. It gives a feeling of predictability and stability to viewers. Gradation is the uniformly increasing or decreasing the size of objects in a room to lead a viewer throughout a space. The size could mean height or width of an object. Contrast is when one object is used right next to another object that is contrasted by color, ...

WEEK 10 BLOG: Container Home Update and Sketch Location: Jacksonville Beach, FL Climate : warm, humid, near water, some rain  Clients : My parents (Middle age couple) Number of Containers : 6-8 5 words : Views, Daylight, Outdoor Spaces, Cozy, Clean Setting: comfortable space for chill afternoons spent inside and mornings and peaceful evenings For my inspirations so far, I decided that I want to make a container home as kind of a retirement home for my parents. They have always wanted to move to Florida, especially once my sister and I are out of the house, so creating something like that for them really interested me. They love the beach, so my entire childhood we took trips to beaches, to Florida and I know that they would love to be as close to the ocean as possible. For the location specifically, there is a beach we used to visit when we kids near Jacksonville, Florida that is a perfect location for my container home to be. There are many tall, bright colored beach houses and...

Principles of Design Pt. 1

Principles of Design Pt. 1 The Principles of Design support key concepts that designers must understand. These principles are rules/ guidelines / basics that help us create a functional and aesthetic space. The first three elements we looked at are balance, unity, and harmony.  Balance is critical to feeling a sense of equilibrium in space, even with visual weight. Line, Shape, color, and texture are events that help us see balance in a space. The three main types of balance are symmetrical (formal), asymmetrical (informal), and radial. Symmetry is one of the easiest forms of design. A space can be mirrored, identical, or duplicated to create this effect but could become boring. Asymmetrical balance still has visual weight, but it’s not exactly duplicated. However, it is dynamic and sometimes involves repetition of form + shape to create a spacious environment that makes your eye move around. Radial balance is the arrangement of elements around a central point. It has a sense of ...
