Color

This assignment called for experimenting with color.  The primary colors are red, yellow, and blue.  They each complement with other colors (across form each other on the color wheel).  The first two visuals are the same, but the colors are alternated.  This also experimented with color trends.  Applying different colors to the same image can have a tremendous effect on its presentation.  The first visual is an example of complementary colors.  The big image is blue and the smaller staircase and writing is orange.  I like these two colors together.  They work well and form an eye-catching image.  The blue that I used is bright and light.  The saturation is pretty intense, almost fully saturated.  The orange is more rich and a bit darker.  The second image uses somewhat of tertiary colors.  The blue and grey colors are not exactly next to each other on the color wheel, but they also work well together.  I believe that the first image stands out more and the second is more muted.  I like both but they just vary in hues and saturations.  These visuals were also created in Photoshop using the CMYK color mode.  CMYK colors are achieved through the mixing of process color inks as they are applied to paper.  The next two visuals mainly use primary colors.  The third visual uses all three primary colors (red, yellow, and blue) and they work really well together.  They are eye catching and bright-high intensity and almost fully saturated.  The sign is simple but very appealing.  The last visual is my favorite.  I really like the different combinations of yellow, blue, and white.  It is very eye catching, once again using mainly primary colors.  The bright blue and yellow boxes make the white text pop off the page.  The colors used also work well with the image of the cigarette.  The sign is very simple but I like all the attributions displayed throughout.  The placement and alignment of text work well with each element on the page to create one cohesive visual.
