Throwing Shade: The Art of Using Color to Study

A bit of a throwback (last year haha) but for my cognitive psychology class we had to make a blog post about our topic of choice, and mine won best in show! (I got 100% on it and I deserved it in full)

For anyone interested, the link is here for the full effect (colors and images I picked out myself :) ), but the full text will be under the cut- without the lovely graphics that it

ABSTRACT: Do you take your notes in color? Maybe you should start. Note taking is the one thing that remains constant throughout the years in education. Students will often take notes in color or draw in their margins, which not only makes note taking more fun, but it can help keep you engaged in the material, and retain the information you’re taking notes on!

Throwing Shade: The Art of Using Color to Study

Do you take your notes in color? Maybe you should start.

Note taking is the one thing that remains constant throughout the years in education. Your parents took notes, their parents took notes, your professors took notes from their professors who took notes. But, your notes don't have to be the same notes they’ve been taking all these years. Back in the day, students were stuck with sad, boring ink and pencils in the same three colors for generations. Why don’t we try something new? Nowadays, along with the invention of sparkly gel pens for the people who still write theirs in notebooks, many students have started to take notes on computers, which makes it even easier than ever before to introduce colors and graphics into your delightful shorthand. Not only does this make it more fun to take notes, but it also helps to keep you engaged, and even helps you remember the information you’re taking notes on.

What is memory?

Obviously, memory is what you remember, right? Simply put, yes, but there’s more to it than that- there always is, isn’t there? It involves keeping, finding, and using information about things we have experienced in some way before that moment, but is something you’re not currently experiencing (1). For example, I could ask you to remember what a field of corn looks like, smells like, or sounds like, and you could tell me without having to be standing in one right now. That’s memory.

Memory is a process with a lot of steps and a lot of mechanisms that we don’t entirely understand just yet, but we do know what kinds of things make your memory better. Namely, things that either grab your attention, or emotionally invest you in them (2). That’s why you remember that embarrassing thing you did five years ago (while you’re trying to sleep, every time), and can’t remember what you had for lunch last week. 

Emotion can be engaged by many things, but so can your attention. When you’re driving down the highway and the giant red McDonald’s billboard catches your eye, or when the “Ooh, something shiny!” reflex kicks in, something is grabbing your attention and forcing you to think about it. There are a few ways to grab someone’s attention in this manner, but the best way? Nothing can grab someone like a striking color palette.

Coloring Your Attention

Color catches your (visual) attention better than any other visual stimuli, because it takes the least amount of effort to perceive (3). Then, the longer you look at that stimulus, the longer it has to imprint on your short term memory. That visual information worms its way quickly into the long term memory after the prolonged exposure. This is why marketing is often very colorful, with lots of moving shapes and textures, and loud, ranging sounds. They want your attention more than anything else, so you remember their name or product better than the competition.

But, I can definitely hear you asking me, what does this have to do with me as a student? Doesn’t that just mean the powerpoint I’m reading off of should be in kaleidoscope colors? Yes, it should. But more specifically to you as the student, color is a form of creative expression that you can use to enhance your memory.

Being Creative With Your Memory

Being creative during class, especially when taking notes, keeps you engaged and interested in the material, and this will make it stick in your memory longer than if you were just copying information down as you hear it (4). But not everyone can make masterpieces in the margins of their notebooks, now can they?

Well, adding color to your notes is a form of creative expression that anyone can participate in, no matter how creative or creatively skilled they are. You can’t even draw a stick figure? That’s okay, you don’t need to! Instead, try switching colors in between each topic, and if you want to go a step further, make color patterns with them outside of just the plain rainbow. As long as you are expressing yourself in a creative manner while you’re taking notes, your mood and motivation will be much higher (5).

So, What Colors Should I Be Using?

Use whatever colors make you happiest. I keep notes in blues, purples and greens, because my favorite colors are the cool ones. Use whatever colors, mediums, images, or annotations that speak best to you, like your favorite colors, cutesy patterns, doodles, or whatever strikes your fancy.

However, there is a correct answer to this question. There has been a few different studies that have been conducted about this, and the results vary (no matter how many colors I make it, the periodic table isn’t going to be memorable to an interior designer, after all), but most commonly the primary and secondary colors like red, green, and yellow, are the most memorable colors (3). Even more specifically, use warm colors like red and orange over cool colors like blue and purple, as these colors tend to catch your attention better and for longer (6).

IN LOVING MEMORY: OCTAVIO HERNANDEZ (1959 - 2015)

I was shocked when the phone ringed and got the call that told me the news of the death of the journalist, promoter, chronicler and music lover Octavio Hernández, a crucial character in this city on the rock music scene, as well as in cultural stances. Memories come to life again. . .

At that time, I began to listen to local radio programs, i was highly impressed by Octavio Hernández's incendiary verb in his nightly weekly radio show, El Arca de Neón, especially after the tragic suspension of a Maldita Vecindad show in the Palenque del Hipódromo.

Octavio from a young age decided his way through rock and after completing the academic part, he nourished himself with knowledge collaborating on Melodía 10 Años, then newspaper Uno Más Uno, until he reached Signore, the Mexicanized version of Playboy, where he became famous for an incident with a music promoter at a festival in Acapulco who clocked him blindsided. At the reedition of the Avandaro Festival in 2006, I remember that when I greeted Octavio, he told me: "Do you believe what just happened?, this motherfucker thinks I forgot what he did to me in Acapulco and now he is even hugging me!".

His love for music and reasons of affection took him to the south of the American continent, where he saw the future of rock in our language and in Portuguese too. So, he came with a vision, and it was common that he inevitably spoke of the big bands like Soda Stereo, Enanitos Verdes, Os Titas, and Caetano Veloso,  as well as his beloved Radio Futura and other sparkling artists. He arrived in Tijuana and began the take-off of the Arca de Neón which was a guide of the present and future through the frequency of Estereo Frontera 102. 5, until crossing the border, where he started with El Acordeón, the first rock publication in Spanish in the USA.

Contests and shows like Duelo De Rebeldes and  La Frontera Aquí, the first visits from Maldita Vecindad, Santa Sabina, Social Security, Los Fabulosos Cadillacs and others, we promoted by him. His pen set fire to the pages of El Precipicio in Diario 29 and continued to connect to his land via Ciudad Rock En Español, La Jornada and other newspapers and magazines.

In 1994, when I published my first fanzine, I began to frequent the Punto de Vista magazine office, where I went and collaborated for three years with great friends. One day (already in 95) on Madero Avenue, I ran into Octavio, I introduced myself to him and he responded as always, in the way he spoke to everyone, with that characteristic adrenaline and his mouth overflowing words that sounded like wisdom to me. Months later alongside another unforgettable friend, Ricardo Alarcón, we were working details of what would be the Tianguis of Rock and Culture. Coincided that Octavio was his friend, so, consequently, we coexisted in this place and we begin to have more approach. The day of the tianguis, I remember him very happy, hugging everyone, eating his sandwich and chatting. I remember him saying to me: "I'm going to see if, in those that follow, I'll bring the old demos I have from bands like Fobia, La Maldita and others".

One day, he invited me to collaborate on an event he was promoting, and we had a previous talk at the Rubén Hood, that little bar in the parking lot of Arena Tijuana 72. I accompanied him and another friend of his. We talked about a lot of stuff in music, but the most interesting thing was his painful story of the day of the tragic earthquake of 85, which changed his life completely, of his pain for those he lost. At that time, I had a social life, I moved everywhere as I pleased and coincided with my friends. He was a vital and necessary presence in events, for all of us. I remember the Festival of Alternative Culture, where he shouted to me "get off the stage" or his crazy turns with a bottle in hand in his beloved stage at  Mexitlan while Los Enemigos took the stage. I'm sure that my writing style copied (or stole) his words, his ways of writing and even the way he always nervously walked around in events, as I saw when he brought legends like Pappo Napolitano, Ratones Paranoicos and Voodoo Glow Skulls, among others. And I forgot, he connected me to be interviewed for a documentary about the border scene for French television, I have never seen that show.

He offered two workshops related to the culture of rock in the CECUT, one by himself, and another with journalist Delia M, I remember that one when my good friend Humberto Huerta and me finished at her house in the Zona Norte at the end of the workshop. Octavio later crossed the street only when Estéreo Frontera took El Arca off the air abruptly, so he was offered to move  to Stereo Amistad 99.7 in what I consider one of the best times for rock radio on the border, as they listened to their audience and took local rock music and  was part of the daily rotation. I constantly called the show on the air, which was transmitted on a small table with a green tablecloth. Over time, Octavio was given control of the nights at the station and Corazón Eléctrico was born, the first  attempt to have an independent alternative radio station, but, the new management ended the project due to "lack of rating and sales", as the new manager of the radio group commented directly to me on a phone call, when I innocently called to complain.

Octavio's path took him to La Banda Elástica Magazine, where he excelled covering all the ways of rock on the border. California and Tijuana were as one, opening the gates to bands of both sides...until one day at the Cecut announced his departure from the magazine, which, put some harsh distance between both sides, which was manifested in subsequent numbers related to rock history in Tijuana and USA on LBE. He wrote some essays about that in Perdidos En La Linea, Lumbre and others, until he landed a spot on Retila Magazine, where he was set up as the editor and assembled his dream team, I was included, the greatest honor for me, alongside with some of the best writers ever, but, the dream was short as the magazine ended after the economic crisis derived from an event that  the magazine organized and was a disaster. we only work three numbers, but was incredible.

It was the stage where we hang out the most and had great mutual respect. He interviewed me for one of his most famous articles, Tijuana Mesopotamia, which was the title of his first chronicle book, where the text also appeared, previously published in La Jornada. I got the book and  I appear in the acknowledgments. His pen appeared in a trendy magazine called Lumbre, which was a pretext to coincide in a night where we had an incredible gathering together with another dear friend, Ejival and other friends. He also wrote in No Cover, but only for the first edition.

Many of the stories that he wrote, I will reveal that they were versions, let's say, light, of how the events he wrote about happened, but his use of vocabulary to make the stories enjoyable is what I take away from...it's going to hurt remembering when he would stare at me and touch my head and tell me "pinche Rincon, you are quite a character" or his traditional "how are you, maestro?". He continued to collaborate with media such as Circulo MixUp, Cinemania and alongside his beloved friend Charly Alberti on yeyeye.com.

Suddenly, life changed. I remember he had a serious health problem, and after that, we met again when Roy Villela from Oxigeno Rock Shop called us to a magazine project. We met outside the Box Underground venue, and that day, there was a show featuring a band from Ensenada called Blue Mind. Suddenly, Octavio asks me if the man who was standing at the door was Raúl Ramírez, the famous and legendary Mexican tennis player, I say yes. Immediately he got up and went to greet Mr. Ramirez, who was accompanied by his wife, Miss Universe 77 Maritza Sayalero. Octavio reminded Ramirez of the wonderful afternoons with his usual dynamic, citing his legendary rivals as Jimmy Connors and Vitas Gerulaitis, but above all, his vibrant triumphs against the elite before a Ramírez who listened to him with pleasure and surprise. He went back to radio, at the now Fusion 102.5 for two more stints of El Arca De Neon, being the second the lengthiest one, finally, after all these years I went a couple of times, as that was something I put on the bucket list.

In recent times, he spoke more of the past than of the present, very little of the current market. He spoke of seeking to bring veteran artists of blues and old school rock to perform around here. He brought for shows bands like Santa Sabina (their last show before the passing of singer Rita Guerrero), La Barranca and Rubén Albarran from Cafe Tacuba. Worked a lot with the Interzona Festival and was featured on Canal 12 Televisa Tijuana on the Fusión TV show. We returned to coincide by mutual friends when he launched the Tijua Neo magazine alongside the journalist Fernando Del Monte, but issues made Del Monte leave the project. Later, he would leave El Arca show forever in harsh circumstances, however, he was able to return later to the show and others on the same station as a guest. I was invited to write for Tijua Neo in some issues, but then, for a series of stuff, we stopped talking for about three years. We never had any difference openly, but when we saw each other, I know there was some small tension,  we agreed that it was already past and that we should start over.

We met in person in January of 2015, we greet in my frustrated birthday event at the TJ Arte y Rock Cafe, and we said goodbye with a hug, as always. He told me that he knew we were going to work on something soon. The last contact we had was by a Facebook message, he invited me as a judge to the TIM band contest, but my time did not coincide because of the workshop I was working on at the time, so I declined...I did not think that he would die, I never imagined that. I knew his pain for his partner Rosalba and her health problems, but he was motivated by love, beer and for culture. It is worth mentioning that in his recent messages, he asks us to support local rock always.

Never assume that what we see today, will be tomorrow. Octavio, I admire you, I respect you and I love you, I remain with your direct and indirect teachings, with your words of appreciation, with your influence.

Thanks and see you soon, very soon, I hope not to be late.

:::::::::::::::

I also would share the text in relation to an event-tribute that took place in 2014. He asked me to wrote it, since he tought i was the only one that knew more about his work. This was featured on El Mexicano newspaper :

ARCABUZ: A Tribute to Octavio Hernández, The Border Rider of Rock.

Octavio manifested his love for music from a very young age. His contact with rock was being notorious, being astounding with the live performances of bands that made history and are now legends, that marked him to get involved in journalism in his native Mexico City, where after from his beginnings, he learned the art of chronicling and musical criticism alongside respected characters like Víctor Roura  in the pages of Melodía: Ten Years Later, Uno Mas Uno and at the beginning of La Jornada, then he would put his talents to work for  Signore (the first Playboy Mexico magazine) and other publications would give him a unique and special place in national journalism.

Along with his first wife Rosvita he traveled to South America. In Brazil. he saw the jubilant  scene of emerging artists,  while on the streets of Argentina, he learned where the future of Latin American rock would come,  from groups like Soda Stereo, but his life destination would change, as he arrived in 1988 in Tijuana, where he saw the enormous potential that the city had to be considered the spearhead of a musical movement, but also, he discovered that California was another hotbed for bands and media, so, he stayed here.

He made history by being a great influence on the radio through the Arca De Neon show in its various stages at Estereo Frontera 102.5, Stereo Amistad 97.7 and Fusion 102.5, and also,  crossed the border to team with Dave Stampone - from the university radio station in San Diego ( KCR) - to make a prodigious binational simulcast. In Stereo Amistad, he promoted one of the first commercial radio projects dedicated to rock music called Corazón Eléctrico, something that deserved better luck. In Los Angeles, together with Enrique Blanc and Omar Márquez, he edited the first publication dedicated to rock in the Spanish language called  El Acordion, it became a vital part of the roots of La Banda Elastica Magazine, where he was featured later.

With his pen, he later became editor of Retila Magazine ("the rival" of La Banda Elastic in Los Angeles) and discovered the new cyber ways alongside YeYeYe.com and also collaborated in prestigious publications here and there such as Circulo Mix Up, Pulse Latino, Lumbre, La Olla Express, Bitácora, LA Weekly, La Opinión, No Cover in Spanish, Identidad and Guitar Player, among others.

As a promoter of concerts, he provoked electrical miracles such as the contest Duelo De Rebeldes (binational rock contest, thanks to which the new Tijuana music appeared on the cover of the San Diego Union-Tribune) and the first appearances in the city of Maldita Vecindad, Santa Sabina, Los Fabulosos Cadillacs (whose debut was in Tijuana and not in Mexico City), Seguridad Social, La Lupita, Pappo Napolitano, Ratones Paranoicos, VooDoo Glow Skulls, La Barranca and others. From then on, he never stopped opening roads.

His chronicles and articles have been published in two amazing books, Tijuana-Mesopotamia, Crónicas y Otros Latidos and Cornucopia, Periodismo Sonoro y Anexas. On television, he appeared with his music section in the cultural program Fusion for Televisa Tijuana and is the director and editor of the cultural magazine TijuaNeo, where he demonstrates that his passion for rock is not at odds with his vast general culture. These stages, he lived them with all the same intensity that his heart had for his life partner Rosalba.

He has been found on the road those who are legends and those who could be. With nocturnal adventures accompanied by the inevitable cold beer, or the sun to the fullest, he always talks anecdotes and stories that seem fantasy and those, written, take a much more mystical dimension. He is one of the most transcendental characters of our border.

Santa Claus: I don’t celebrate Christmas.

Kissing on the first date: It really depends, but most of the time, no.

Angels: I don’t believe in angels in the traditional sense, but I believe everybody is an angel in their own right, and that guardian angels do exist.

20. found out who your friends are: I love how this assumes we all constantly get ourselves embroiled in toxic relationships we have to discover aren’t true. Like, I am way too cautious in initiating relationships for that. It may happen, but not yet. I’ve got good friends and I love them.

21. kissed someone on your facebook friends list: Ew. No.

— general

22. how many of your facebook friends do you know irl: Most all of them, but most of them not very well.

37. what do you like about yourself: I always seem to answer these the same way, but whatever? I like my (semi dormant?? ha) creativity, and that I’m usually a pretty patient, forgiving person. That might sound weird, or bragging, but it’s not something that comes without practice, so I think it’s okay for me to like/be proud of that.

38. want any piercings: I’ve been saying I should get my ears pierced for like ten years now.

47. ever had surgery: I split my head open once. That explains a lot. ;)

48. piercings: Noooone

49. sport: BASEBALL

50. vacation: NYC (literally just to see shows) or the mountains somewhere or Europe, particularly Edinburgh and London. And anywhere honestly on the East coast of this country, because it’s so rich in history.

51. trainers: Shoes, right? Or people who have trained me?? I’m confused. I buy from Payless. I like Converse but who can afford them. XD I’d rather wear something sensible but stylish anyway, and the one shoe I actually care about is Oxfords. I want me a pair of Oxfords.
