A FEW MONTHS AGO, BEFORE HULK WAS HULK... HULK WORKED ON SOME STRANGE STUFF FOR ORGANIZATIONS HULK ISN'T REALLY ALLOWED TO GO INTO GREAT DETAIL ABOUT!
.... THE RESEARCH AND THEORIES HULK CAME UP WITH HOWEVER HAVE FAR LESS NDA'S INVOLVED SO HULK WILL JUST REPLACE WORDS WITH OTHER WORDS TO HELP PEOPLE GET THE IDEA BEHIND THE ARTICLE!
HULK WORKED ON THIS "THING" FOR A "GROUP" FOR ABOUT A YEAR BEFORE THE HULK PERSONA WAS BORN! HULK WAS OUT CELEBRATING ABOUT A SEMESTER BEING OVER AND RANTING WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY ABOUT GOOD AND BAD DESIGN!
ONE OF THEM SAID " HEY HULK! YOUR MEAN AND GREEN AND LIKE YELLING AT PEOPLE! CAN YOU LOOK AT OUR "THING" AND MAKE IT SO NEW GUYS IN THE GROUP USING THIS " THING" DON'T GET CONFUSED WHEN INTERFACING WITH SAID " THING"
HULK SAID, " THAT SOUNDS A LOT LIKE USABILITY! AND HULK WOULD LOVE TO."
HULK WON'T MINCE WORDS.... BACK THEN THE "THING" WAS RATHER MESSY! YET IT WAS BEING USED BY A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE!
HULK PLANS TO WRITE SEVERAL ARTICLES ABOUT THE STUFF HULK WAS SEEING, AND COLOR THEORY WILL BE THE FIRST!
HULK WILL START THINGS OUT WITH A QUESTION! WHAT DOES EACH COLOR MEAN TO YOU WHEN YOU VIEW IT?
DO YOU HAVE MEMORIES INVOLVED?
PEOPLE INVOLVED?
EDUCATION INVOLVED?
COLOR THEORY IS THE EXAMINATION OF WHAT COLORS MEAN TO PEOPLE! AND TO THE WORLD IT CAN MEAN EVERYTHING! WHETHER ITS A GAME , A MARKETING PROJECT, OR A SCHOOL LAYOUT COLOR THEORY IN SOME FORM CAN BE SEEN IN MANY ASPECTS OF THE WORLD YOU LIVE IN AND IS ONE OF THE EASIEST WAYS TO GUIDE AN AUDIENCE!
ONE OF THE BIGGEST PROBLEMS HOWEVER, IS THAT NOT EVERYONE REACTS THE SAME WAY! AND SOME ORGANIZATIONS CAME UP WITH THEIR OWN ASSUMPTIONS OF WHAT COLORS MEAN AND IF THEY ARE APPROPRIATE!
LETS START OUT WITH SOME BASICS! PSYCHOLOGISTS DISCOVERED AGES AGO THAT A ROOM COVERED IN RED CAN MAKE A PERSON ANGRY IF THEY HAVE BEEN SITTING IN IT FOR A LONG TIME! WHILE THE COLOR BLUE CAN MAKE SOMEONE MORE TRANQUIL OR EVEN HAPPY!
FOR PEOPLE IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR AND THE MILITARY THE COLOR RED USUALLY MEANS NORMAL! EVEN THOUGH ITS ASSOCIATED WITH STOP, BLOOD, DANGER, AND WARNING!
HULK AT FIRST THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE THE MILITARY IS THE BUYER FOR MOST OF THESE INSTANCES , THAT THE MILITARY IS JUST A LITTLE BIT KOO KOO, AND BEHIND DUE TO THEIR OWN INABILITIES TO CONFORM TO NEW SITUATIONS INSTANTANEOUSLY! ( DOESN'T THIS GO AGAINST THEIR TRAINING?)
HULK FOUND OUT THE FIRST PART WAS TRUE BUT IN DIFFERENT SUBJECTS, WHILE THE SECOND PART WAS BASICALLY SPELLED OUT BY HIGHER LEVEL STAFF! " THE MILITARY ALWAYS WANTS TO SEE THINGS SIMILAR TO WHAT THEY ALREADY HAVE, AND HATES ANYTHING NEW"
AND YET THE "GROUP" STILL WANTED A PROGRAM THAT WOULDN'T CONFUSE THE NEW GUYS WHILE WORKING WITH EGOTISTICAL SOMEWHAT BORING MILITARY BUYERS..... THIS IS PROBABLY THE FIRST INSTANCE WHERE HULK'S RAGE WAS BORN!
HULK STARTED DIGGING THROUGH THEIR ENTIRE SYSTEM AND TIME AFTER TIME HULK WAS SEEING WORDS BEING COLORED IN AS IF THEY HAD IMPORTANCE, DANGER, OR CAUTION AROUND THEM YET THEY NEVER DID! MORE SO YOU WOULD NEED A SECOND PAGE OF NOTES TO UNDERSTAND WHY CERTAIN THINGS WERE BEING COLORED IN TO BEGIN WITH!
IT WAS A FREAKING NIGHTMARE!
SO LETS GO OVER HOW PROPER COLOR IS USED!
HULK LIKES TO THINK COLOR THEORY HAS 2 MAIN METHODS OF USE!
THE FIRST IS REQUIRING PREEXISTING SYMBOLOGY! SO THINGS LIKE ROYALTY WOULD BE PURPLE AND THINGS LIKE THE OCEAN WOULD BE SHADES OF BLUE! EVEN THOUGH ITS NOT NECESSARILY THE CASE!
FOR INSTANCE ROYALTY WOULD ALSO WEAR A SEA OF OTHER COLORS! NOT JUST THE
PURPLE! BUT SINCE PURPLE WAS ONE OF THE MOST EXPENSIVE TO PRODUCE AND ONLY ROYALTY WOULD BE LIKELY TO EVER BUY SUCH A DYE, THE TWO WERE IMMEDIATELY CONNECTED TOGETHER! AND THE OCEAN ACTUALLY IS CLEAR, BUT SINCE THEIR ARE SO MANY CRAZY THINGS FLOATING AROUND IT WE TEND TO SEE
BLUE, GREEN, AND SOME OTHER CRAZY
COLORS.... BUT MOSTLY BLUE SO WE ASSOCIATED IT WITH BLUE!
( SAME GOES FOR THE
SKY.... DID YOU KNOW IT'S TECHNICALLY ON FIRE?.....HAS HULK TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE?...
HMMM)
THIS METHOD OF MAKING CONNECTIONS IS FINE... IF NOT A LITTLE BORING! IT MAKES GREAT FOR REALISM! INTERPRETATION! OR ASSOCIATING PARTS OF OUR WORLD WITH OTHER PARTS OF OUR WORLD, AND FOR UNDERSTANDING WHY THE COLOR GREEN USUALLY MAKES PEOPLE FEEL SAFE OR RATHER
NORMAL!
HULK HOWEVER LIKES THINGS A LITTLE
WILD!
IF THE SYMBOLOGY METHOD WAS THE ORIGIN OF COLOR THEORY, THEN THIS SECOND FORM WHERE WE EXPLORE HOW COLOR AFFECT OUR EMOTIONS WOULD BE THE EVOLVED STATE!
THAT OPENING OF FRACTALE FOR INSTANCE HAD ALL KINDS OF COLOR BEING THROWN AT YOU IN VERY SPECIFIC FORMS AND FUNCTIONS! IN SHORT THE CREATOR WASN'T TRYING TO MAKE YOU FEEL ANYTHING FULLY BUT AT THE SAME TIME WAS TRYING TO OVERLOAD YOUR SENSES! THEY WERE TRYING TO OPEN YOUR MIND A LITTLE BEFORE WATCHING EACH EPISODE OF THE VERY SHORT VERY! VERY AWESOME SERIES! OR AT THE VERY LEAST TRY TO PLACE YOU IN THE RIGHT MOOD FOR WATCHING THE EPISODE! FURTHERMORE WE SEE SOMETHING ELSE!
THE WAY IT ENDS WHERE EACH COLOR COMES INTO FOCUS TO DEFINE ONE PERSON GIVES A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF POWER TO THAT PERSON BEING DEFINED! AS IF ALL THAT WILD AND CRAZY ***** WAS ALL AT THE CORE OF THIS ONE INDIVIDUAL!
HULK WENT A LITTLE DEEP WITH THAT ONE....
HULK IS SURE THE 1980'S HIPPIES FELT SOMETHING SIMILAR WITH A LITTLE " ASSISTANCE" IT HAS CERTAINLY BECOME A PART OF POPULAR
CULTURE...
HULK WOULD LOVE TO ONE DAY HAVE THAT CRAZY PROGRAM HULK WORKED ON REACH THIS SECOND STATE OF COLOR THEORY! SO FAR HOWEVER ONLY GAMES LIKE
FLOWER,
BASTION, AND
ANIME LIKE
FRACTALE HAVE EVER REACHED THIS KIND OF STATE OF COLOR THEORY WHERE WHAT HULK WAS FEELING DID NOT NECESSARILY REFLECT SOMETHING THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN DECIDED BY THE OUTSIDE WORLD! JUST LIKE WHAT THE
SYMBOLOGY ROUTE MOSTLY LIVES OFF OF....
THE END RESULT FOR THE "PROGRAM" IS THAT MOST OF HULK'S SUGGESTION WERE ACCEPTED AS TRUTH...HULK DID ABOUT 8 MONTHS OF RESEARCH ON VARIOUS SUBJECTS FOR THEM, BUT BEFORE HULK COULD REALLY BEGIN SERIOUS WORK ON THIS STUFF.... THIS
HAPPENED! IRONIC HOW A COMPANY ACCEPTED HULK, BUT ENDED UP HAVING TO SAY NO TO HULK!
OH WELL... AT LEAST HULK HAS HIS DEGREE AND ALL THIS DELIGHTFUL RESEARCH!
