http://labs.drewconway.com/time

The process for generating the Shades of TIME required the following steps:

1. The data set of Time Magazine covers, downloaded here

2. Using OpenCV to detect and extract the faces appearing in the magazine covers

• time_covers.py

3. Using the Python Image Library to implement the Peer, at al. (2003) skin tone classifier to find the dominant skin tone in each face

• skin_tone.py

4. Designing a data visualization and exploration tool using d3.js

• tones.js
