Post an example of a Wet Collodion Process image.
Who invented the Wet Collodion process? What are the advantages and disadvantages of the process?
Fredrick Scott Archer exposure went down to two or three seconds and it cost less. wet plates had to be developed immediately, making it harder to carry around the chemical tent, etc.

How did Muybridge settle the debate and photograph a horse in motion?
all four of a horse's legs come off the ground while galloping by placing a series of large cameras in a line, each being triggered by a thread as the horse passed by
In 1880s, the development of the motion picture camera allowed this?
Allowed for individual images to be captured and stored on a single film reel

After the typewriter began production, why did Clephane pursue another machine? it took to long to copy onto the typewriter from his notes
Who spent a year redesigning Clephane's typesetting machine? Ottomar Mergenthaler

What is moveable type? system of printing that uses moveable components to reproduce the elements of a document
What is a matrix? hard metal hammered into softer copper bar, the placed in a mold and created to make all the letters more uniform

What was the first book he printed?Post an example of this book. The Bible
How did the Gutenberg Press impact communication? perfected script and made it easier to read, faster and cheaper, current events could be spread easier, different languages of the same book could be made

Which printing process is the Gutenberg press an example of? Briefly describe the process? Relief PrintingPost an example of an intaglio press.

How do printing presses used today compare to the Gutenberg Press? there are many different types of printing, and it is much more precise and detailed for each specific type
Describe four-color process printing using CMYK. masking colors on a lighter background. the ink reduces the light that would otherwise be reflected. Such a model is called subtractive because inks subtract brightness from white.

Illuminated Manuscript research/inspiration
research on podcast on illuminated manuscript.
INSPIRATION
i like how the letter takes up the whole page and is wrapped around the text. this is how i want mine to be. not sure if i will add a border on mine if i do it this way because the letter is sort of a border. maybe i will add some floraly border around it...
this one is more simple i guess.. it is into columns. i don't want mine to be in columns but i like the design thingy at the top. i am not going to that. this one just gives me a more general idea of what it actually is. maybe for a smaller idea if i wanted to go simpler... and i like the color orange as the letter. definitely will be using that
