Light Series 3

Grocery Store - Light source seemed to be a cool flourescent hanging light fixture used throughout the space
Fabrics....
  • Red - Appeared very bright and definately drew your attention. I went near the meat section to see how the red meats would look and it definately had a great affect on these products. Obviously a good thing because it looked really juicy!
  • Yellow - Appeared bright, suprisingly not as bright as how the red was at grabbing your attention.
  • Green - Appeared somewhat flat and even slightly brownish. You had to look hard to see this but it didnt look the way it should.
  • Blue - Appeared very cool and refeshing. The cool flourescents probably helped amplify this.
Retail Store - I went to a jewelry store and the light looked like it had a red film in it. It was a suttle red but it was definately noticeable. The store specialized in sterling silver pieces with emerald green stones.
Fabrics.....
  • Red - The red seemed flat and blended in with the rest of the room. This was probably because of the red tinted lighting
  • Yellow - Appeared orange... and not a good orange.
  • Green- This color seemed to really pop out the most of all.
  • Blue- Appeared purple.. similar to the yellow, it was probably because of the light shining.
Residence - I stayed in my condo for this one. I have reccessed incandescent lighting. I also have a fan with a light kit attached and when i have the fan on the shadow from the blades have a somewhat annoying constantly moving circular shadow.
Fabrics....
  • Red - Appeared bright and definately popped. Energizing!
  • Yellow - Appeared almost grey/brownish. Almost depressing.
  • Green - Appeared brownish and flat. Held up next to my brown couch it seemed to blend in.
  • Blue - This color seemed somewhat grey and boring.
Library - The library had a low lighting that felt very intimate although it wasn't very effective for task lighting. I wonder if this was because they don't really want people sticking around to read and study. I couldn't figure out for definate what type of lighting but I was thinking a warm flourescent.
Fabrics....
  • Red - Appeared stationary and boring. Almost had a brownish feel to it.
  • Yellow - Appeared bright and cheerful. Other than my fabric I didn't see much yellow in the library.
  • Green - Appeared cool and refeshing.
  • Blue - Appeared intimate and cool similarly to the green.
