Introduction
The Inter-Society Color Council (ISCC) held its 2007 Annual Meeting in the Heart of America in Kansas City, Missouri from Sunday, April 29 through Monday, April 30, 2007, at the Kansas City Marriott Country Club Plaza. Known for its fountains, boulevards, barbecue and jazz, Kansas City is also the home of Hallmark Cards. General Chairs Steve Glasscock and Scot Fernandez will be among those representing the greeting card giant at the meeting.
The 2007 theme, “Bridging the Creative and Production Sides of Color”, explored the complexities of making color easy to use and understand while maintaining a high level of accuracy and capability, especially within reproduction systems. A highlight of the meeting was the presentation of the Godlove Award, the Council’s most prestigious honor for lifetime achievement in the field of color.
Papers and Presentations were presented in each of the ISCC's three Interest Groups, and there was also be a general poster session with an exhibitor’s area.
- Interest Group III, Art, Design and Psychology, discussed the challenges encountered by those who create with color, such as the graphic artist dealing with commercial color applications. We also explored the process of defining which color trends to design too.
- Interest Group II, Industrial Applications of Color, explored potential solutions to these issues. The range of topics included color management, RGB/HSB workflow, multi-color printing, and proofing as well as other color-related industrial applications.
- Interest Group I, Basic and Applied Color Research, examined the frontiers of color measurement and the latest thinking on appearance characterization. Selected presentations from this meeting will be invited to submit a paper to Color Research & Application for publication.
Who Should Attend
This meeting is open to everyone with an interest in better understanding the complexities of translating color from design intent to a tangible product and the products and process that link the two worlds.
