Yeah, I definitely agree that we could use color a lot better in these patches. I would like to see you propose something based on these ideas. Constructivism + Paulo Freire would be a very interesting combo.
As for the template approved today, I think that's just the first step. I am sure there will be improvements and changes as we start applying it to real world situations.

I'll be making a usable template over the next couple days, then I'll announce it. http://puredata.org/dev/pddp/pddp-drafts/template-12-grab.png/ image_view_fullscreen .hc On Sep 18, 2007, at 7:13 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > hola, > > I am following this reference templates discussion because I'm > interested > in the pd documentation project. > I have only some side comments about colors, I think -if used, colors > should be kept to accentuate content. > This was said before but also > in my view pd objects in reference patches should not be colored. > I do think that colors help to remember things so it would be > helpful to > use them in order to remember families of objects or other > categories. > I did some exercise using colors to emphasize sections, making minor > changes to template 9 from Ben - In order to have some > constraint to choose I used a color palette -I borrowed filterbank~ > colors > for this. > > http://ljudmila.org/~pueblo/box/constructivism/template9_a.png > > previous try: > http://ljudmila.org/~pueblo/box/constructivism/template7_aaa.png > http://ljudmila.org/~pueblo/box/constructivism/color_palette.png > > It is only an exercise I just wanted to note that the decision of > using > colors is > sensitive, we associate many things to them and this becomes important > when you are learning. > I specially have problems with the use of gray which I associate > with the > obvious gray skies, pigeons and dictatorship (chilean style) > > I'm not a graphic designer but I sense some relation between pd > and constructivism/suprematism so this could also be an inspiration > for > color and form... > > http://ljudmila.org/~pueblo/box/constructivism/malevich-st-1916.jpg > http://ljudmila.org/~pueblo/box/constructivism/lissitzky- > mayakovsky.jpg > http://ljudmila.org/~pueblo/box/constructivism/rodchenko-mayak- > nipple.jpg > http://www.poster.net/malevich-kasimir/malevich-kasimir-black- > rectangle-blue-triangle-1915-3500626.jpg > > thanks for the good work and hope to join you in the chat > discussion in some hours from now. > > best wishes, > alejandra > > > > > > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > [email protected] mailing list > UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/ > listinfo/pd-list ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- Mistrust authority - promote decentralization. - the hacker ethic _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
