Week 6 Reading Quiz
1) ICC profiles are data sets that describe the particular color space of any color input or output device. In digital printing, it defines the color map available for the particular surface being printed upon, so long as the printer being used is capable of working in that color space.
2) Monitor calibration is the process of color correcting the monitor one is working with, often to sync with the capabilities of the printer one is using. This is important because it insures that the image you are printing will be rendered almost exactly as you saw it in the digital workspace (barring any discrepancies caused by the printing surface in the case of unusual materials).
3) The Reading would not open in Blackboard, so I will just take a stab at this question based on my own experience with the landscape.
The most obvious function the landscape serves is geography. It imposes a physical location or setting on the viewer.
The autobiographical function of landscape could be that it describes the photographer's immediate setting, and those settings over one's career provide a visual log of experiences and place.
The metaphorical function of landscape is often relegated in the visual arts as serving to represent the human body or some portion thereof. At other times, landscape serves as a mechanism of comparison in rather unexpected ways. In British photographer Ingrid Pollard's work, she photographs black British citizens in rural landscapes to create a juxtaposition between a group typically associated with an urban environment and our expectation of what that environment should be.
