Category: COMD1100 Project #6

[Work in progress] Although my cover looks very muted compared to when it was wet paint, the dominant color is supposed to be the purple on the bottom. While the subdominant is the different tints,tones and shades of cream. I will be adding the cream color in the top right corner as sunlight to match the cream in my proportional inventory. The accent color is supposed to be the black tree branches which I will later cover with purple leaves so it really does look like the purple is dominant instead of the trees standing out so much. (After I waited for it to dry I noticed how off it looks so I will go back to correct the colors by tomorrow.)

The art work I used as a reference when creating my proportional color inventory was an artwork called ” Black Reaper” created by an artist named Elijah Myers. The artwork was based on an anime character from the anime Tokyo Ghoul. This image had a theme similar to mine and it contained colors used to convey a really dark theme. Color reference can be used in your future design work for when you are trying to convey a certain tone or theme. You could look at other references that convey a similar theme/tone to our work and see the types of color used t achieve this. You than apply the same colors to your as well so that you can achieve the tone or theme as well.

This image is a vintage photograph of my mother, and the type of colors that are in this image really drew me because they also reminded me of one of my favorite movies from Wes Anderson “Fantastic Mr. Fox”. These to me are different tones of orange. The title of the book is “The Book of Me,” so I felt like these were things that had to do with me.

SAMPLE-color inventory

For this part of the project, I used an image created by Taylor Walker that centered around an ocean theme using different tones and shades of blues. Color references can be used in future design works by taking into consideration into the amount of color,  and the different shades and tones of a color that will affect where the focus of the image would be, in the image you see a monochromes of  blues and near the top you see Orange, a complementary color that gains the attention from all of the blues surrounding the rest of the page. This can help me to consider the different ways to use these colors in different ways and most likely make an image less chaotic with different colors.
