Category: COMD1100 Project #6

Project#6 Color Harmony taught me many things about the different types of color scheme and some of the methods used to achieve a certain color scheme. I learned about the Monochromatic, Angelou’s, and complementary and non-complementary or split complement color relationships.  I also learned how to Create a proportional Color inventory’s` by referencing a piece of graphic design, advertising, animation or film still, comic, graphic novel, or artwork. I took all this useful information and tried to incorporate it into my book cover as much as I could. I enjoyed working on this project a lot. I learned many useful things that will definitely use in my future.

Phase 1

Phase 2

Phase 3

Duration: 3 hours

I based my book cover on the proportional color inventory I created based on the artwork inspired by the anime called Tokyo Ghoul. I originally chose the artwork as a reference for my proportional color inventory because the poster had a dark vibe or theme to it and I felt it that was because if the color used for it. And so I  chose these colors to and added them to my book civer give off the same dark vibe and I think it was a success.

Duration:2 hours

I learned how to use colors from another picture as a reference and the term proportional color inventory. I would have tried a third time on making the yellow look more creamy beige but at night it looked beige to me, the paint was beige too but it dried really yellow. If I had a bit more time I would have let the paint dry every night and see if I get it right the next day. Next time I might want to plan out the time it takes to paint/mix and dry so that I can see the true color once it dries before the assignment is due. Overall it was fun to paint. There’s a nice contrast because yellow and purple are complementary. I’d say the only thing I got accurate was purple and black but the beige is definitely not accurate.

Phase 1: Discover

Phase 2: Define

Phase 3: Develop

This is project was nice change. This what I enjoy. Making projects by hand than digital. If the hold semester was like this I enjoy it more. But I have to try something new for one. And thats what this courses was trying to teach me. To get me out of my comfort zone. Trying to challenge me and make me a better artist. Art would boring if t to easy. So I appreciate this class for that.

Phase 1 

Phase 2

Phase 3

This is my Glossument Cover. I’m very proud of how this turn out. It reminds me of a old cook book. The blue is desaturated while the orange and purple are bright and makes the stripes pop out. I was going for a mid-evil feel with the letters in the middle and the birds at the top. I first started pastels but the pastels kept peeling off so I decided to paint the book. Best decision I made.

This took about 2 hours.
