TRANSCRIPT
Next week we will move to discussing color.
Last year, to display how some color palettes are chosen, I sampled a number of my PPT color schemes from nature. I will show you how this works next week.
But for fun, today, I chose to use one of my favorite comic book images. I sampled from the image on the title slide. Hulk’s face and Wolverine’s tongue. Ironically, the colors are very 90s and just a touch hideous.
TODAY
1)Discussion of the readings from the
Snow Day
2)The FINAL project (drum roll, plz to have)
3)DWS Chapters 3 & 4
4)What comes next
5)Homework
Next week
On Tuesday we will go over the results of all
your module 1 work and have a discussion.
We will devote the whole class to asking
questions and giving answers.
On Thursday, we will be discussing color and
doing a color activity. I will give you some
prompts on Tuesday to prep you for that
activity.
On Thursday we will also have a guest
observer, Dr. Danielle Devoss. She’s coming
to observe my teaching and offer feedback.
Things from the 90s that are like this color scheme:
I CAN’T DO IT!
Let’s sample this image
THAT’S BETTER
It won’t win me any awards, but now
there’s at least something a little
easier on the eye happening. Now,
then, back to class.
SNOW READINGS
You all did a fantastic job with the
snow day questions. I’d like to take
some time to go over each of them, so
I’m going to pop over to my Tumblr
and use it to guide us for a bit.
If you’re reading along, you’ll want to
pop over to phill210.tumblr.com.
FINAL PROJECT
I don’t want to stress any of you out
(like I could—you’re an easy going
group), but I want you to start thinking
about your final project.
The logic for this is that we’re about to
start looking at color, and this is a
good time to start thinking about the
site you want to make at the end of
the semester.
FINAL PROJECT
To the website! It’s on the Modules
tab.

DWS CH 3 & 4
Let’s talk about the objections and
persuasion from Chapter 3. What
thoughts do you have? What might we
add to the list?
How is this information valuable?
DWS CH 4
I’d like you to work with your partners
again, in groups of two.
In your groups, I want you to pull out
the one quote/piece of information you
feel is most important in chapter 4 and
explain why.
I also want each group to write a
question for the rest of the class.
HOMEWORK
Remember that Module 1 is due on
Sunday at 1 pm.
For Tuesday, Read for class: Chapter
5 and 6 of DWS (p. 95-133)
Your twitter question is this: how are
you feeling about the final project?
