LIGHT !!! Red/Green/Blue = White
INK !!!! Cyan/Magenta/Yellow/Black = Black
I talked to a person in print shop who didn’t know what I was saying about DPI and bleeding… Again…
I don’t know how she got that job….
Is it really that hard to understand? I met so many talented people without just basic knowledge of things. One designer who worked for me years ago for only a week… She didn’t know what difference between CMYK and RGB. I was Just… shocked.. because on her resume, she had 3 years of experience in print shop and library as a designer.
I asked her to come in 1 hour early in the morning (reg 10-6, so it was 9) to teach her basic things and some software. and she could not handle that one more hour of work, so she quit a week after.
I taught some classes before for the Photoshop and Illustrator before. and I remember few students who asked me WHY. yeah! That’s it! you need to know why. that’s how we can understand a thing from the bottom top.
Anyways! My point is how can I meet those type of people more and more every day? if you are not a designer, You don’t really have to know about CMYK and RGB. but I am sure most people know what I am talking about here. If I want to MAKE MONEY out of my knowledge and skill, I want to get it right! I want to do a good job and better job as I go!
I wonder why we don’t have smaller pixels by the way. It is 2017 now and isn’t the pixels still way too big? there are 4K TVs out there and if we look close, we still can see the damn pixel! how can printer have smaller Dot?!
Why 72dpi for web and why 300 dpi for publishing? how can the printer handle more than 3 times of dots?! I know how monitor and how printer works, but I don’t understand when they come across to compare. I wanna know how and why. someone explain to me, please…?
Anyhow! I notice there are people really really smart and questioning everything, and there are the rest of people who don’t question anything. I haven’t met a person in middle. Isn’t it weird? or is it just me feel that way?
I am the type I have to know if I don’t have any idea what I am looking at. I have to look it up, I gotta look close to see how it made or how it built. I am not a super smart person, It’s just nature of human I thought…. no?
Weren’t you curious how the monitor and TV work? how the magazine on your coffee table has thousands of colours?
Mhmm, long story short,
How about we go pick up one object and take it apart/look up the technology behind/ look up the history of it/ even just look close?
