Art 141 final: Accordion Booklet
I go the idea for my accordion from my Photo1 class. For the Photo1 class we were supposed to make a "beauty" collage with photos that we had taken. It was a very open ended assignment and there were no guidelines. When it was mentioned that we would be making accordion booklets I immediately jumped on the idea of combining both assignments and killing two birds with one stone. I think the hardest part of this whole assignment (for me) was writing the poetry to go with my images. Other than that I found Adobe's Indesign program pretty easy to use and arranging everything on the pages was fairly easy as well. I am with very content with the final result, my one complaint is that I wish I printed it with the inkjet and spent the extra money. The image quality on my final (which I used for my Photo1 class) was not satisfactory, but that said it also wasn't terrible and was good enough. I have one question for you (Prof. Dallal) and that is why does the school's print center recommend RGB color images for the inkjet printer? I ask since you mentioned that CYMK was best for printing (although I now wonder if you meant it was best for printing in magazines etc. rather than fine art printing).

Hi Taylor, good question! You are right that CMYK is for press printing, also the color laser does better with it. However, the the Epson inkjet printers work better with RGB, I guess it has to do with their own software set-up for the printer that translates the RBG to CMYK. The mural printer has extra inks also--light black, light cyan, light magenta, to extend the range of colors in it's CMYK gamut.
