Digital Lab 2
Assignment 5 Final Assignment (Yahoo!) Mini-Portfolio 25%
Purpose
To introduce students to the concept of sequential imagery, as opposed to individual “one-off” efforts. Secondly, to familiarize students with the technical demands of creating a portfolio of ink jet prints.
Students will produce a mini portfolio of five A3 Ink Jet Images. The portfolio
must be integrated. That is, there must be a common thread or theme throughout
the series. This common theme could be either stylistic or based on content.
technique and resulting style. Students must propose a theme for their portfolio
either in class or via email by April 18th.
Or the portfolio could pursue a common subject matter/content; architectural
interiors or a Photo-Journalistic examination of Skateboarding or Squeegee culture
in Montreal, for example.
The images should be consistent in size, aspect ratio, paper surface, colour or
B/W, printing style and presentation.
A reminder that image impact and aesthetic considerations count fully as much as
technical excellence, in marking the assignment.
Submit at the beginning of Class on May 9. No Late Assignments!!
Five A3 final Ink jet prints.
Print files should be sized to fit an A3 sheet at 240 DPI, PSD or TIFF.
For the purposes of this assignment students must print in-house. Home or externally made prints are not acceptable.
The prints must be placed in an appropriately sized manila envelope. The envelope should be identified with the teachers name, your name, the course name and the assignment number on the outside front surface. One assignment per envelope; envelope should not be sealed.
Marking: The project will be marked on technical competence; correct colour or proper distribution of tonal values, shadow detail, highlight detail, sharpness and impact of the sequencing. Professionalism in presentation will be taken into account as well.

Assignment 3
B/W Film Processed, Scanned and output A3 Ink Jet Print 25%
Due: Start of class, Thursday March 10. (Late assignments marked at 60 or 0%).
Purpose: To introduce students to B/W film, scanning technology and principals and
continue perfection of LR Editing and Printing skills.
Submit: Students will submit one A3 sized ink jet prints and one 36 frame roll of
properly exposed and developed negatives.
Method Expose and develop one roll ( 24 or 36 Exps.) of 35 mm film. (Or one roll, 12 exps.
120 film). Scan the resulting negatives. Output one high quality A3 ink jet print.
Please submit all test prints and print failures as well.
For the purposes of this assignment students must print in-house, at Dawson.
Place the print and negatives in an appropriately sized manila envelope. The envelope
should be identified with the teachers name, your name, the course name and the
assignment number on the outside front surface. One assignment per envelope.
The envelope should not be sealed. Please no padded envelopes
Grading: The images will be marked on technical competence; proper distribution of
tonal values, shadow detail, highlight detail, sharpness etc.
Please remember that the aesthetic content of the image is central to the assignment
and image impact will affect the final grade.
No boring pictures.

CIE xyz and CIE LAB
Nearly all color management software today uses a device-independent space defined by the Commission International de l' éclairage (CIE) in 1931. This space aims to describe all colors visible to the human eye based upon the average response from a set of people with no vision problems (termed a "standard colorimetric ").The CIE space of visible color is expressed in several common forms: CIE xyz (1931), CIE LAB, and CIE L u'v' (1976). Each contains the same colors, however they differ in how they distribute color onto a two-dimensional space:
(All color spaces shown are 2D cross-sections at 50% Luminance)
CIE xyz is based on a direct graph of the signals from each of the three types of color sensors in the human eye. These are also referred to as the X, Y and Z tristimulus functions (that were created in 1931). However, this representation allocates too much area to the greens — confining most of the apparent color variation to a small area.
CIE L u'v' was created to correct for the CIE xyz distortion by distributing colors roughly proportional to their perceived color difference. A region that is twice as large in u'v' will therefore also appear to have twice the color diversity — making it far more useful for visualizing and comparing different color spaces.
CIE L*a*b* remaps the visible colors so that they extend equally on two axes — conveniently filling a square. Each axis in the LAB color space also represents an easily recognizable property of color, such as the red-green and blue-yellow shifts .These traits make LAB a useful color space for editing digital images, such as with Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, etc.
