Gather

after the first week of finding out information about everyones favorite subject (dust of course) i felt it relevant to make and update of the information that i have been looking at over the past couple of weeks. initial information that i found was form a generic search on google where i came across wikipedia information which gave me lots of generic facts and from there i began looking dust mites and i even found some artists work based on drawing using dust which was quite interesting. but one of the most interesting pieces of information that i gathered was the 100 swatches that i took from around the room 130 at that college itself where we normally work everyday. i mapped out the entire room taking dust swatches at random, each location of each dust swatch in various colours , according to their height within the room. pink being on floor level to 1m, green 1m to 2m and blue for 2m and above. overall the effect of al these mapped out swatches was quite beautiful and amazed most people when i brought it in today. which is all good.
the brief however continues today and we are to produce a fixed format book based on the information that we have gathered over christmas. i hope to create a book which document the information that i have gathered from the room showing the locations of the dust. i think the way that i have worked producing the map could become just as interesting in a book. i aim to research more guide such as pantone and maybe explore naming of colours and such and further process and analyze the content of the swatches that i have gathered, such as by hair, fibre, particle content etc and see if i can get any interesting results.
