Colorblindness, When the World Is Defined by Color
I have protanopia or red-green color blindness. No I don’t see in black and white and yes I know that
A History of Color
This project was so interesting for me to look at because of all the colors. I love putting things in rainbow order and color-coding my closet. Seeing all of these covers organized by color really satisfied that little part of…
Digital Humanities is so in Vogue right now
Reading all the different pieces to “Robots Reading Vogue,” I was impressed by how many tools there were at the digital humanists disposal. Every new piece we read had at least one new tool for looking at and ordering data in large chunks. It made it really easy to see…
500 Days of Summer
500 Days of Summer is a love story that isn’t quite a love story. The guy doesn’t get the girl. They do not go skipping into the sunset and everything is not okay.

I thought these articles were really cool! It was a really good read after just doing our own summing projects with images from movies and reading about Ferguson’s work. I found it very cool that that digital humanities can be about anything, you can work with any subject – even Vogue covers – and get cool results that can either have a purpose, or just on its own be something for people to look at and enjoy. I thought it…
