I found this project really hard due to the lack of inspiration around me- Although font and typeface projects are usually always my weakest. I really had a hard time capturing what I was seeing.
DRIP- I used white-out to capture that texture of plaster
OOOOO- I used red paint and small dots of white-out to capture my wall with paint splatter on it
OOPS- I used hair dye and black paint
I’ve been working with sketch paper over images I took! These sketches are just more cropped and enhanced so you can see the letters!
“DRIP”
“OOPS”
“SPLAT”
(SORRY FOR NOT BEING AROUND I’M AN AWFUL HUMAN I’M JUST REALLY SICK OK I’M TRYING!)
I read the Project 5 syllabus and I watched the inspiration videos as well!
Here’s the final compositions for project four!!! Overall I felt this project was the easiest in terms of work and the most fun so far, and having a background in photoshop definitely helped. I came to appreicate the science of colors more!
THAT BEING SAID this project was also the hardest in terms of keeping up with it as some higher power decided it was time to kick my ass for whatever sins I committed and I keep getting really sick which resulted in multiple classes missed, which I feel AWFUL about, but these are strange times and my body decided it was time to shut down half the time! Add a mental illness to that mix and WOW I feel awful! But I’m sorry for missing so much class and I’m trying my best. (I’ll be okay don’t worry!)
Currently working on making a black and white photo with a LOT more contrast but until then!
I’ve had a bad fever which is why I haven’t been in class BUT here’s my Triad Composition!
I got lucky that I have a background in Photoshop so I could do this (I wasn’t in class today because declining health am I right ladies!) but besides a little cleaning up/possibly giving the original B&W image more contrast, this is pretty good!
This is the color wheel I own (I’ve had it for years but I think you can get it on Amazon!) as well as the color wheel I made myself. I took a more abstract approach to creating my wheel.
