BW to Colour

Square


Double-Split Complementary



Triad

Artist Statement:

For this project, I tried to use three different colour schemes for each version to have some variation. To colour the pieces I used the brush tool on Photoshop and used the eyedropper tool for each colour from the palettes I created on color.adobe.com. I used the colour replacement tool to change some colours on the different pieces as manually doing it would not make my pieces look harmonious and play around with the composition. 

For the first one, I chose the square colour scheme and tried to make it aesthetically pleasing by choosing a nice skin colour tone and making my hair a purple colour so it stands out from my skin. I tested out different colours on different parts of the picture but settled on the way it looks in that piece because it looked the best in my opinion. 

For the second one, I chose blue as my main colour and did a double-split complementary colour scheme. I wanted to play around with the colour combo of blue and orange along with some green to bring in a different mood for the piece. I made it look more fantastical with blue hair and green background and matched my lip colour to my hair.

For the last one, I chose to make pink my main colour as I really like pink and wanted to try out the triad colour scheme. I like the way the pink and blue have darker versions of them as well to help with contrast. For this, I could have used darker shades for shading but I wanted to play around with the colours and make it non-realistic.

    I really enjoyed going through your website because of how much the theme matches your personality. I clicked on this BW to Color project because I thought you had done a great job; I struggled a lot with this project and was perhaps maybe the worst one I had done. However, I think that yours is great: the tones, color choice. If I had to give you a small critique it would be that I would recommend a photo of you standing just so that the audience can see you more clearly.

    Your colors turned out great in the Black and White to Color assignment. It looks so natural, and the opacity was done to a T! Mine assignment looked really blocky, but I should have been sitting next to you because maybe I would have learned better!

Portfolio

Artist Statement: I tried my best to keep my portfolio as neat looking as possible and kept a colour scheme that is easy on the eyes; black, white and red. For the front and back cover I used pictures of Japan as they are aesthetically pleasing and related to me. I tried my best to separate my work and make it as big as possible so that it is able to be seen. I kept the artist statement/most of my text on separate pages. I made sure to organize the layout properly so that the texts weren't next to each other and made sure it was kept in order of when we did each assignment. My favourite page is the logo page where I formatted it to look like a professional brand guideline page and it took me very long to lay it out the way I wanted it to. If I had more time, I would try out some different fonts and make some pages more interesting, but overall I am very proud of what I made.

Indesign Tutorials

 The first video I liked the creative design that was taught as it will be relevant to class and the creation of business cards. I like how he played around with different formats, and the one thing that stood out to me while he was explaining was the way he tried to put the image inside the text. Learning how to do layouts like this will be helpful, especially with the way the images are placed and how the colors match the overall theme. I like the professional look of the black and white with the pictures placed artfully. The column tool is very helpful in this tutorial. The pop of yellow showing up from the black and white is very eye catching and a good design idea. In this video, the layout ideas given using full page photos with text as well as the formatting of headings, body text and pictures in general were really clean. I like the way the guy uses the rectangle shapes to mimic a magazine and use it next to the body text.

Tagbrush

  Artist Statement: For my tagbrush I traced my black and white logo outline as carefully as I could to include as much detail in order to make the stamp on the spray image look as close to my logo as possible. I wanted the image of the Burj Khalifa to be recognizable. I chose the colours dark red and pink for the stamp overlays to create a boldening effect and make it look 3D compared to flat on the surface. I think to improve this I could have added the circle in the middle of the flower so it would look cooler.
