Course Description: Tone and color theory, measurement, and modification; calibrating and characterizing input and output devices; G7 calibration technology; converting photographs to match output device requirements for black-and-white or color reproduction; outputting images to meet or exceed customer expectations.

Prerequisite: Grade of C or better in DIGM 3252.

Credit: 3 semester hours

Course Goals: This course is designed to familiarize students with multi-color reproduc-tion theory and technique. It is not intended to produce proficient techni-

cians. Rather, students completing the class will have a broad overview of multi-color printing processes so that they may effectively supervise or estimate printing operations, communicate technically with vendors or buyers, and/or design graphic products giving full consideration to the limitations inherent in multi-color printing processes.

Students completing the course will describe, demonstrate, compare, analyze, integrate, and critique Digital Media technologies related to:

1. color theory and its application to color reproduction;

2. capturing faithful reproductions with digital cameras and scan-ners; the impact and importance of lighting on original image capture as well as viewing on-screen and printed color repro-ductions;

3. the use of color spaces including: l*a*b, rgb, cmyk, hsb, spot color, and hexidecimal;

4. measuring colors using spectrophotometers, colorimeters, and densitometers;

5. color management systems including calibration and character-ization of color monitors, scanners, proofers, platesetters, and printing presses;

6. how color originals are separated into process colors and then recombined using the printing process;

7. procedures used to trap color images;

8. the operation of a color editing program such as Adobe Photoshop;

9. preparation and output of multi-color pages using a page layout program such as InDesign;

10. paper manufacture, specification, and environmental steward-ship;

11. flat-sheet and signature impositions;

12. the affects of ink, paper and lighting on color reproductions;

13. color proofing methods and their limitations with regards to pre-dicting actual press performance;

14. printing process guidelines including SWOP, SNAP, GRACoL, and FIRST; and

15. printing process control using G7.

Required textbooks: Ashe, T. (2014). Color Management & Quality Output. Burlington, MA: Focal Press

Marin, J. (2005). Process Controls Primer. Sewickley, PA: PIA/GATF Press Books. (ISBN: 0-88362-522-9). Suggestion: buy this book on-line...$40.00+ [used] from Amazon.)

X-Rite. (2004). The Color Guide and Glossary. Grandville, MI: author. Available free for download on digital media technology website.

Required tools: Ball point pen(s), scientific calculator.

Optional tools: (you’ll need to get these sooner or later!) 20X magnifier (loupe), stain-less steel ruler graduated in inches and picas.

Required disk: Flash or external USB hard drive for project backup.

PDF files: Several handouts for the course will only be supplied in Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format. These files can be read on any Windows, Mac, or Unix computer providing you have the correct Acrobat Reader Software. Acrobat Reader is available free of charge from the Adobe Website (www.adobe.com). You can read the files on-screen or print the files on your own printer. However, you may not print them using the Digital Media Program’s equipment (we don’t have the budget for all the paper and toner it would take). The PDF files for this course can be cop-ied from the instructional materials folder on the lab’s computers to your Zip disk or you may access the instructional materials server from any computer using your web browser (http://www.uh.edu/tech/digitalme-dia).

Why 5 hours per week? DIGM 4373 is a lecture/lab class and is governed by University policy as well as policies of the accrediting bodies. First, students should under-stand that each hour of class credit requires three hours per week: one hour in lecture and two hours of personal study/homework. Thus, a three-hour course requires nine hours per week: three in class and six on your own. However, lab earns in-class credit at one-third the rate of lecture. Thus, it takes three hours of lab to earn one hour of lecture credit. DIGM 4373 requires you to spend two hours in lecture. For those two hours, you receive two hours of credit. The three hours of lab, counted together, are worth one hour of credit. Thus, you spend five hours per week in a three-hour lecture/lab class. Remember that you still “owe” Dr. Waite a total of nine hours for the three-hour course. Nine minus five equals four. Thus, you should spend four hours per week on your own reading, studying, and working on homework and on-line quizzes. That’s the expectation of this course.

Important Information: As a student of the University of Houston, information available at http://www.uh.edu/provost/policies/student/resources/ will be criti-

cal to you in insuring that your academic pursuits meet with success and that you encounter the fewest financial and academic difficulties possible. Please take a few moments to review each of the areas, and become familiar with the resources detailed on the website with regard to: The UH Academic Honesty Policy: the UH Academic Calendar; Students with Disabilities; Religious Holy Day FAQs; and Other Information.

Lecture assignments: On-Line Quizzes: There will be weekly quizzes on Blackboard. These quizzes are open

notes/open book and may be taken at your leisure during the week each quiz is available. They will form the basis of the midterm and final, although questions not appearing in the quizzes may be used in the exams.

Written Exams: There will be two exams given—a midterm and a final. The midterm will

cover all lecture material covered up to the exam. The final will cover all material covered after the midterm.

Netiquette in Class: The university’s buildings are fully wireless capable. That means that you can log-on to the Internet from any part of any of our buildings, including the classrooms. We encourage you to bring your laptops, netbooks, and so forth to lectures so that you can take digital notes, download materials your professor provide, and take advantage of websites that your pro-fessor suggests.

However, it is extremely rude to use your laptop for surfing the web, answering e-mails, playing games, or other off-task functions during class. It is also a waste of your money since your lectures are packed with important information being presented by your professor who knows more about the topic than you do. You are paying money to be in class. Do not waste your money by trying to ineffectively multi-task during class!

Cellphones, PDAs, iPads, tablets, and other handheld devices fall into the same category as laptops. They should not be used for non-class activi-ties.

Dr. Waite realizes that you are an adult and are free to squander your time any way you want. However, you do NOT have the right to inter-fere with other students who are trying to listen to lectures. Therefore, if you insist on texting, e-mailing, or surfing, sit in the back of the classroom where you won’t bother anybody.

Extra credit: Overall course extra credit may be earned in three ways:

1. You may participate in the University of Houston chapter of the Graphic Communications Education Association (GCEAUH). Students who join and attend association meetings can earn up to three percent extra credit on their final grades (one point per meet-ing). GCEAUH officers may receive five points of extra credit on their final grades. This option is not available in summer.

2. Visit the Printing Museum. Take a selfie inside the museum. Prepare a short report about the section you found most interesting. This is worth two percent two percent bonus credit.

3. If YOU average 90% or higher on-time attendance for this course (both lecture and lab), you will receive two percent bonus on your final course grade.

4. Remember that you can only earn five percent TOTAL extra credit.

Attendance: Attendance at all class sessions is expected. There will be a grade penalty for all absences. In other words, there is no such thing as an excused absence. Be on time for lectures! You may have to adjust your lifestyle and leave home or work early to be on time for class. You may only miss three class sessions. You may be dropped after the fourth absence. Look at it this way: there is no way to make up any lecture that you miss. Notes from friends are no substitute for actually being present in class when Dr. Waite explains a concept or process. Here’s another thought: you and the taxpayers of the State of Texas are paying Dr. Waite to be present in the DIGM 4372 class. Why pay money for something you don’t take? Another notion: class ses-sions are like rock concerts. If you buy tickets and don’t show up for the concert, the musicians are not going to give you a repeat performance. So, you won’t get what you paid for.

Attendance will be taken beginning five minutes before the class is scheduled to begin. Students in place when class starts will receive 100% for that day’s attendance. Students who come in late will have to specifically inform Dr. Waite of their presence and will receive 50% or 25% (depending upon how late) for that day’s attendance.

Lab assignments: Lab assignments are to be completed as soon as possible and uploaded to Blackboard using TurnItIn. In addition, some of your work is to be placed into a hard-copy portfolio (as appropriate) to be submitted on the lab day during midterm week and on the day of the final exam. Include only those projects listed on the course schedule (page 4) unless otherwise instructed by your professor or lab instructor. Hard-copy portfolios may be as simple or elaborate as desired. However, students should remember that they only get one opportunity to make a good first impression.

All lab assignments are also to be converted to web-optimized PDF for-mat for placement on the student’s on-line portfolio. Instructions will be given in class.

Lab assignments submitted through TurnItIn are all graded according to the following rubric:

There is no need for a student to earn any less than a B on any project. Don’t be meek! Show your work to Mr. Le, Mr. Halliday, or Dr. Waite in advance for advice!

Selected projects are to be printed and submitted in a 13 X 19” hard-copy portfolio (samples will be shown in class). This oversized format is necessary to support the press sheets you will print. The purpose of this portfolio is for job interviews. It needs to contain ONLY your best work...including work you do outside of class.

Hard-copy portfolios are due for midterm review and again for final grading as shown on the course schedule on Page 4.

Grade expectations: Dr. Waite expects students in the course to be capable and motivated professionals. No such student should be content with a grade less than “B.” Please provide the attention, motivation and effort necessary to reach this grade expectation.

Team project: Teams of 4–5 students will create and produce a full-color document that employs VDP technology as well as content creation, graphic design, prepress, preflighting, digital printing, and finishing processes. In particular, groups will prepare the annual Digital Media Annual Report, the annual Digital Media Photobook, and the Women in Digital Media book. Samples of previous projects will be provided.

Test/exam policy: Blackboard quizzes and exams: you may use any materials you’d like during these quizzes. However, you may not, under any circumstance, cheat. Focus your attention on http://www.uh.edu/provost/policies/student/resources/. Note that, according to University policy, your pro-fessor can take one or more of several actions if you cheat. Sanctions may include, but are not limited to: a lowered grade, failure on the examination or assignment in question, failure in the course, probation, suspension, or expulsion from the University of Houston, or a combina-tion of these. Use of content posted by other students on sites such as quizlet.com IS CHEATING. If your written answer on a quiz matches the exact verbiage of my answer key, you will get a zero on the quiz. Earn three such zeroes, and I will report you and recommend suspension.

Due date policy: Late work is “yesterday’s news.” In keeping with this idea, assignments must be turned in as scheduled. Please see the class schedule for specific due dates. Late work will receive a grade penalty of 10% per class ses-sion. If you cannot attend class on a day that an assignment is due, you must make arrangements to get the work to Dr. Waite no later than the next business day.

Adds/drops: Please refer to the University’s Undergraduate Catalog and the Schedule of Classes for the appropriate add/drop dates and proce-dures. Those procedures must be followed to the letter.

Incompletes: An “incomplete” grade will only be issued if the student is maintaining an acceptable level of achievement and cannot, due to some factor beyond the control of the student, complete one or more major assignment. If a student wishes an “incomplete” grade, s/he must explain the situation to Dr. Waite in advance and make specific arrangements to make up miss-ing work no later than one year after the “incomplete” is issued.

Americans Any student who may be in need of additional help under the with Disabilities Act: ADA guidelines should contact Dr. Waite personally and as soon as pos-

sible.
