We’ve got a few things to do today, so below is a list:<\/p>\n
Color perception is an interesting subject that deals with physiological responses. While I don’t expect you to be well versed in the anatomy of the eye, there are several terms you should know:<\/p>\n
Last chapter! There are a couple things I want to focus our attention on, but below are some general “hits” of the chapter.<\/p>\n
Obviously, in the context of the United States, red, white, and blue are patriotic colors, plastered all over campaign documents.<\/p>\n
Let’s consider color and time period<\/strong>…Think about the colors in homes (appliances, couches, curtains, etc.) from media\u00a0or your life. What prevailing colors seem to identify the following decades:<\/p>\n Go back to last week’s section on color schemes<\/a><\/strong> and answer a few questions and put up a webpage.<\/p>\n Then, move on to your Information Design Critique Workshop. Some of you expressed that you weren’t sure if you could write 4 double-spaced pages on a document. I assure you that you can, assuming the document is big enough. For instance, you probably can’t write 4 pages on a business card, but you could write plenty on a document like this one about a family game<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n I know this is a peculiarity of mine, but color matching is really ingrained racism of a culture.

![Color Wheel 2<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\nUse color or black & white\n\nSurprisingly, black can come in different \u201ccolors,\u201d the range of which we call _____________________.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nDesign for Information\u00a0<\/b>Ch. 6 “Textual Structures”<\/b><\/h2>\nLast chapter! There are a couple things I want to focus our attention on, but below are some general “hits” of the chapter.<\/p>\n\np. 185: The description of the changes to Darwin’s book<\/a><\/strong> mentions the visualization allows us to understand something fundamental about science: “‘We often think of scientific ideas…as fixed notions that are accepted as finished.'”<\/li>\np. 187 and pp. 204-205: Types of Data<\/span><\/strong>\n\nNominal (Categorical) Data: No implicit quantitative relationship or inherent ordering, but we can group data into categories<\/li>\nOrdinal Data: Arrange in a given order or rank–which comes first, which is bigger, etc.<\/li>\nQuantitative Data: Measured and manipulated using statistical methods.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\np. 187: Citing Moretti: “Quantitative research provides a type of data which is ideally independent of interpretations…and that is of course also its limit; it provides data, not interpretation.”\n\nUnfortunately, no data stand on their own; all data is a construction, filtered by gathering the data in a set.<\/span><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\nTime permitting, a look a the “Technical Notes” for the statistics in this CDC Report<\/a><\/strong>.<\/li>\np. 189: The goal of most natural-language data analysis is to look for patterns, structures, or relationships within a collection of documents (corpus).\n\nThree Types of Visualization of textual data<\/span><\/strong>\n1) Connections among entities within and across documents (think patterns across multiple data sets–what types of words do scientists, architects, and politicians use?)\n2) Language patterns and word frequencies (think how often scientists say “probable”; how often do they say “certain”)\n3) Analyze relationships between words in their usage (consider how words appear and what appears before or after them)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\np. 191: The purpose of textual mining is to abstract elements “from the narrative flow, and construct a new, artificial object” that allows us to analyze different aspects of a text.\n\nFor instance, we could analyze a dataset of twelfth graders’ essay for sentence length, compound sentences, and compound-complex sentences. Then, after statistical manipulation (quantitative), we could say the average twelfth-grade writer uses more of these sentences, less of these, and almost none of these.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\np. 190: Why would Stanford’s letter and travel mapping program<\/a><\/strong> be important to studying a particular historical figure?<\/li>\np. 192: Ware (again) on memory and Dual Coding Theory<\/a><\/strong>:\n\nImagens, mental representations of visual information, are processed first (think word shape, size, weight, etc.)<\/li>\nLogogens, mental representations of language information, are the nonvisual associations stored in long-term memory (think concepts leading to abstract thought; your memory has already stored information that helps you process the visual world)<\/li>\nConsider the word “cat,” which is very easy to define, understand, and associate with known images<\/a><\/strong>.<\/li>\nNow, consider the word, ennui, a concept<\/em><\/strong> that means the boredom felt by Westerners in late modernity. The French word is translated, “boredom, tedium, worry.”<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\np. 193: “There is an inherent temporal nature to language that transforms language into a sequence of mentally recreated dynamic utterances.”<\/li>\np. 194: The wonderful world of word clouds!\n\nWhat do you think about word clouds? Useful? How?<\/li>\nWhere do you see word clouds?<\/li>\nEnglish Department Word Cloud<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\nCLAS Research Word Cloud<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nColor and Culture<\/b><\/h2>\nObviously, in the context of the United States, red, white, and blue are patriotic colors, plastered all over campaign documents.<\/p>\nLet’s consider color and time period<\/strong>…Think about the colors in homes (appliances, couches, curtains, etc.) from media\u00a0or your life. What prevailing colors seem to identify the following decades:<\/p>\n\n1960s\n\nLuck be a Lady tonight…<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\nOakland Museum of CA<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\nMadison Ave office…<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n1970s\n\nHere’s a story…<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\nAnother story…<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\nHarvest Gold<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\nAvocado Green<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n1980s (early and late)\n\nAttack of pastels<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\nPrince’s Dining Room<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n1990s–the last great decade…EVER!\n\nFake wood paneling on dashboards<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\nHunter Green and beige<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nColor Scheme Groupwork<\/b><\/h2>\nGo back to last week’s section on color schemes<\/a><\/strong> and answer a few questions and put up a webpage.<\/p>\nThen, move on to your Information Design Critique Workshop.

For instance, you probably can’t write 4 pages on a business card, but you could write plenty on a document like this one about a family game<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\nMatching Colors<\/b><\/h2>\nI know this is a peculiarity of mine, but color matching is really ingrained racism of a culture. Let me explain…<\/p>\nChoropleth Maps<\/b><\/h2>\nI absolutely doubt we’ll get around to this, but I’m including it here just in case.
