Looking Outwards 9

For this looking outwards assignment, I chose to look at Sarah’s LO-7 on data visualization. What really caught my eye about the visualization of color themes in Pixar films is that it was essentially showing non-numerical data about movies that we watched growing up. Although it seems like non-numerical data, Sarah’s description got in detail as to how they extracted the color themes using python. I agree with what Sarah said about each of the color wheels closely resembling a disc that the movies would normally be played on.

Something relevant that came to mind when I saw this project is how nowadays there are branding consultants that look at everything about a brand and design logos, office color schemes, and website color in order to convey a certain story or emotion. Here, we know what the general theme of each movie is and seeing the color wheel is still able to transfer some of those emotions as well.
