Chromatic Perceptionism

(TASK—book on a research topic of choice) Fascinated by color, I decided to research color, the language of color, and its perceptions. “Chromatic Perceptionism” explores the idea that color is an experience specific and unique to each individual and background. This book explores topics ranging from color names in different languages, different sensations tied to color, and movie stills with strong color usage.
Learning Outcomes:
synthesizing research: collecting information into a digestible format for readers. Book Production: working with production turnover rates, setting up files for printing, working with print shop for production. Visual language: creating graphics and consistent system for a book.
Close up Shots of the book. The cover was printed as a flat sheet, cut, and then folded over chip board. The pages were bound at the school print shop.
Digital Spreads of the Book
The graph shows what colors get names in languages. For example, the American language does not have a different word for "blue" and "sky blue," even though Russian does.
The blurred, gradient color rectangles were printed on vellum sheets. This way, the movie scene would still peek through behind.
