B08. Transparency and Layering

Five connected studies move transparency and layering from direct observation and explanation through controlled experiment, application and critique. Five active studies connect evidence, experiment, application and critique.

Observe → Understand → Experiment → Apply → Critique and record

• Alpha versus Translucency

  Begin Transparency and Layering with alpha versus translucency: observe directly and record the conditions before interpreting the result.

• Filters

  Within Transparency and Layering, build a working explanation of filters, keeping the model distinct from the appearance it describes.

• Glazing

  In Transparency and Layering, test glazing by changing one controlled variable and comparing the evidence.

• Compositing Order

  Apply compositing order within Transparency and Layering to a practical color decision, preserving both the reasoning and its constraints.

• Transparent Figure-Ground

  In Transparency and Layering, critique transparent figure-ground against evidence, exceptions and failure conditions before carrying it forward.
