Project#5 taught me a lot about hue and value changes and how you can use them to create an illusion making it as though color can be seen as two different colors. I also learned how color can represent different sets of emotions and personality. Trying to figure out the color that could represent my partner for this project was challenging, but also quite fun, I was able to learn a lot about my fellow student.  I found this project to be very interesting and useful for when I create any future work of my own. It allowed me to learn a new way to communicate using color.

Phase#1

Phase#2

Phase#3

Time:3 hours

Step 1: Color Research Process

Sam’s favorite color:

Red, Yellow, and Blue

Fav food: Mac and Cheese

Likes space and collecting rocks

Likes to Draw

Likes alternative music

Most active during the night likes the night time.

He is very funny and is comfortable to be around.

 

Step 2: Color Mockup

Orange Yellow is the color I chose to represent Sam.

This color represents the warmness that surrounds Sam

Step 3: Icon research

Sam’s interest for space and the night sky gave me the idea of making his icon be a little happy alien.

Step 4: Icon Mockup

I chose an alien to represent Sam to show his love of space and the night time. I chose the colors orange-yellow to represent the warmth Sam’s presence and personality brings when you get to know his. At first, Her energy starts off as a yellow and then gradually becomes a strong hot orange. This is because at first, it might be a little awkward but, he still is inviting and over time you begin to become more comfortable.

After reading,  “The Magic and Logic of Color: How Josef Albers Revolutionized Visual Culture and the Art of Seeing“, I learned a lot about color and the many different ways it is perceived and the different ways you could interact with color. Josef Albers talks about how we don’t really know the full depth of color and all it has to offer. He explains how color to most people is experienced through how we perceive the world and how we use it to define things. Josefs believes to truly see and experience color, you must take a closer look at the things around you. You’ll start to notice how one and the same color can evoke countless readings and effects. Josef believes, through visual perception, there is a disparity between physical fact, how we perceive color through merely implied laws and rules of color,  and physic effect, the effect color can have through vision and the through what you feel between the relationship of different colors.

Monochromatic

This image represents a monochromatic image because it only contains one color. The image has tinted colors located near the impact zone. The blue transforms into white. The image also shows tone progression from the color blue on the outside of the waves to the darker blue inside the barrel of the wave.

This image represents an analogous image because it is an image created using colors that are near each other on the color wheel. An example would be a chart that shows gradients of a color. In the image above you see a gradient of the color red, orange, and yellow.

 

A complementary image is an image created using only colors that compliment each other. In the image above, the colors used were green and red. Green and Red are complimentary colors. They are colors that compliment each other.
