Scher Video
After watching the film about Paula Scher as an environmental designer in NYC. She mentions the fact that in NYC they are many towns and is the melting pot of not just culture but the differences about the neighborhoods. There is a similar connection, because as NYC , Kansas City also has variations between neighborhoods. Westport is very different in comparison to the Power and Light district. In this project my interest was in the Downtown of Kansas City. She states the fact that she uses caps and tall and narrow text to reflect the city and the buildings in the city. In my cover page , similar to Paula Scher the title and the text are arrange to reflect a road and 2 cars on the road, divided by a light line line to reflect the line on the road; as well as a combine line study.

Project 4 : Periodically Speaking : Caesium
The name comes from the latin word, caesius, which means sky blue. Caesium is attacked by oxygen, and very explosively when in contact with water and ice in temperatures above 116K.When it reacts with water, hydrogen gas is released therefore making it very flammable as a result of this reaction.Caesium reacts very quickly therefore needs to be kept in dry,still atmosphere or in oil. A metallic element that belongs to group 1 of the periodic table.
One of the three metals which are in the state of liquid at room temperature. Caesium should be considered highly toxic. Caesium is found in the Earth’s crust. It is used in the industry as a catalyst promoter to make special glass, and in radiation monitoring equipment; also in atomic clocks. Caesium was discovered by Robert Bunsen and Gustav Kirchoff in 1860 in mineral water. Caesium was the first element discovered by spectrum analysis, based upon the bright lines in its spectrum.

Seeing Color: Environmental narrative
Home
I was influenced highly to the films by Jean-Pierre Jeunet with his use of colors in the environment; he captures the Parisian life. In my narrative book I will like to capture the midwest environments and it’s colors in particular in the house. I will like to take pictures of people kitchen, furniture and surrounding space. Variations of colors are evident in people’s home.
Clothes
I personally love clothes and I feel that people dress according on how they feel , and they use color to reflect it. Clothes and color are interesting and appealing , because people make different combinations. Some people are more color coordinated and arrange their clothes in a more organize palette , while others don’t. I will like to focus my narrative book into a study of the several color schemes people create with their clothes.
Department Stores
Stores like Betsey Johnson down on the plaza reflect the extension of color in one store. Throughout all the stores it is evident that color is utilize to attract , or create emphasize on the merchandize being sold. I remember being little and going to a Sanrio store, it was its colors that attract my attention. I will like to study how their environment of the store and its color with its merchandise create and interest people as the walk through department stores.
Food
Food ranges in different colors, in this narrative book I will like to be focusing on vegetables and fruits. These colors are natural and I’m amazed by the different variations and color schemes that can be found. The different shades of green , red and others are evident in these nutritional food.
