scale:
objective- literal dimensions of an object OR
literal correlation btw an object and it's representation
eg: map has exact scale , model car has exact correlation with real car
subjective -a person's impression of an object's size
eg: a room has grand scale -> compared to my body ,the room is quite big
A representation(image) has scale ,when it has elements that connect it to real experience
-> the image then gets a physical identity
When elements in an image has no contrast in scale, it feels dull ,static
Scale is relative
An element feels larger or smaller depending upon the surrounding elements
smaller objs seem far, larger ones feel closer
Texture:
is physical(actual surface) and virtual(optical appearance)
Color:
primary -R Y B cannot be mixed from others
secondary -mix of 2 primaries
Orange = R +Y
Purple = R+B
Green = B + Y
Teritiary = 1 primary + 1 secondary
Orange Red, Yellow Green
Complements = opp in clor wheel
R/G , B/O, Y/P
Analogous = near each other on the color wheel
Aspects of color
Hue = position in spectrum
Value = Lightness-darkness
for same hue , Value = 0 -> black , value=100 -> bright hue
100% red = dark red
0% red = white
Saturation = dull color - intense color
0 sat = grey
100sat = intense
Shade = variation of hue by adding black
Tint = variation of hue by adding white
RGB additive colors -add color 'light' to black
CMYK subtractive colors -
removes one primary colors from light striking it
light-> cyan ->G,B .removed (subtracted )R
light-> magenta -> R,B .removed G
light-> yellow-> R,G .removed B
mixing all 3 (C,Y,M) ->removes R,G,B , so appears black
CMYK = process colors
Theoretically C+M+Y should remove all R,G,B -> should give black
In reality, CMYK inks do not behave perfectly.They absorb,transmit some colors
they shouldn't. So, perfect black is never obtained when all 3 are mixed.
Deep black is = 50% cyan + 100% K
Spot colors = non process colors that cannot be obtained by mixing CMY

2.Recreated letter M for logo in illustrator using Pen and Shapebuilder.
3.The Star in Major Arcana was studied briefly
Zodiac drawn with decans
Pip cards at flanking decans for the 4 angles of Zodiac noted.
For Aries 0 - vernal equinox
Mars in Pisces decan -10 cups=family harmony
Mars in Aries decan -2 Wands = man pondering options
