Color Theory Applied

Image
 These are my digital designs with the digital color pallets from Adobe color. For this part of the project, I used analogous colors to make this. This mostly comes from the color green. For this part of the project, I used monochromatic colors. I decided to use shades of blue in order to make this project.  For this part of the project, I used complimentary colors to make this. It involves mostly red and green and also brown. This was unintentional, but, It has a Christmas theme to it, which is nice.  For the final part of the project, I made my own choice from Adobe Color. I decided to use the shades option and use a shade of blue for the entire project. 

Repetition Online Recreation Blog

 This is the online recreation of the Exploring Repetition project that I made one year ago.  For this part of my project, I decided to use four shapes. I used a circle, a triangle, a square, and a rectangle. This online recreation was most definitely more successful because I messed up the rectangle last year and had to combine it with the square, which i did not like. Now, on Illustrator, I was able to be more precise than when I drew it last year on paper.  For this part of the project, I decided to repeat the circles but changing the color as well. This was slightly harder compared to drawing it last year because I had to figure out how to create a semicircle on Illustrator. For this part of the project, I used one black circle thats at the top, 2 black semicircles under it, and 3 grey circles on the bottom. For this part of the project, I had four rows of 6 triangles (24 in total) and changed the direction of them. Most stayed the same, however, some are upside down ...

6 Column Layout on 2 page spread

This project was definitely one of the more difficult projects for me. Despite this, I really enjoyed the ability to use the images that I wanted. I decided to keep a recurring theme with all my images which was memes. Some are older than others and all involve an animal. The animals here are dogs, cats and one pig. Something that I could have done better in this project is choose better images. The big smiling cat at the top right is cut off because that is the only image I could find that wasn't blocked by something or had a background. I could have made the decision to keep the images only dogs and cats but I chose the pig because it stands out compared to the others. I also chose him because his name is John. John Pork. I really enjoyed this project and the help that you gave me with it and most definitely would do it again.

 This information is important for designers because designers can use color to evoke certain emotions, attract attention, or even create an identity. An example of using color to evoke emotions is the color yellow . The color yellow is a warm color that is associated with optimism and fun.  An example of how color can be used to attract attention is by putting a different color in a design that is mostly one color. Adding a different color will make the viewer focus on it.  An example of how color can be be used to create an identity is through companies such as Apple or Nike. The logos of both of these companies use the color black. So, when you see the color black, you associate it with these companies. Therefore, creating a brand identity.
