Thanks,
Jesse Joe ! Thinking of
colours, I actually tried (harh) to do some of the colours in your thread on favourite album photo; for
COTS, I used some
Beige -
the matting colour; and
turquiose and
denim blue - need no explanation. Part of why I like the cover painting/photo.
A subtle thing I would not have mentioned, unless someone brought it up,
as you are here, is my
signature, as a cartographer, I am steeped over the years in
std. Federal Mapping colours. i.e. brown for contours on topos; cyan for deep water bodies, and light blue for shallow water bodies (medium blue for ocean), and make use of that only in my name
geo steve.... helps me think of my work I love.... I otherwise am an
idiote with color and art.... I'd be lost without programming and telling the computer to do it for me with algorithms !
p.s. notice how the color red appears to float
off and up on the screen when it is on a blue background - they do not know why it does that, an optical illusion, but cartographers make use of it for on-screen presentations at times,
deliberately - see your name above , the
red is lifting off, and shifting up; all illusion. bbrewhahahaha
I guess it goes without saying, a bit obvious, but one theory is its whats called red-shift, a principle of parallax used in determining how distant starts are in huge telescopes by stereo parallax involving especially red wavelengths. Makes sense sorta. Isn't it weird - like on your name ? Not everybody can see it,
my eyes see double a lot, from injury and surgery subsequently,
so my strabismus is half a bubble off,
but you guys allready knew that lol.
Thanks Jesse Joe,
