Book

This project is called 'book' and it features a book which was flown weekly for thirty-six weeks between four artists; two in Brooklyn and two in Belfast. The artists' only contact with each other was through the book, and each had five days to respond to what the previous artist had created. I think this is a really innovative idea, and the results, which were displayed in an exhibition in Belfast, look great. Have a look yourself at http://www.lookatbook.com/.

Colour Perception

I'm aware that I'm probably on my own on this one, but I find colour perception fascinating. For example, I found this photograph below, which has been overlaid with a cyan filter. The lady's tshirt in the original photo is yellow, and this is how it appears in the adjusted photo.


However, a bit of magic wand action shows us that the colour we are actually looking at in this photo is this shade of green:

The reason for this is that our eyes adjust to the cyan filter, and we naturally correct it. I think this concept is really interesting, and it makes me wonder how it could be used in design...
