The first photo is monochromatic because it’s using only one color, blue and you can also see different shades of blue. The second photo is complementary because blue is complement to orange. The last one is Analogous because there is red, orange and yellow. These three colors are next to each other on the color wheel.
This project was a fun project about colors. I learnt a lot about colors and you cannot see them how they really are. There’s more to colors than what you can see. In phase 2, i learned that complementary colors affect the way we see other colors when put together. Overall this was a nice project to learn about colors and how our eyes see different colors.
My partner was Saalik and i chose a lion for him. Lions are calm and laid back animals but when they’re hungry they’ll go for it, I believe Saalik is calm and laid back but when it comes to music, he strives for it similar to a lion getting what their prey. As for the color it was his favorite color and it also is a calm color. As for the middle blue, it was a shared color.
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.
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.
So for this design process, my partner chose a light bulb (on the left) to represent how i am a creative thinker that’s always coming up with new ideas so the light bulb always go off in my head. She chose the color red because i am very energetic and loud, basically more of an extrovert than introvert. For her, I chose an Hawaiian flower because its soft and sweet, and its her favorite flower so i wanted to incorporate that into the work. I chose green because of her personality. She’s calm and always at peace with things so i thought of a color that’s positive. The blue represents both of us because we both liked photography, so we associated that color with someone who’s caring and always looking out for their close friends so we thought of that color. The hours spent on this was about 45 minutes.
During my observation, i saw that the colors were complement to each others and that how the background color changes how the center object will appear with an illusion. That the hue will change between the two, like one will appear more warmer, while the other will seem more lighter. It also talks about how distinct color effects are produced-through recognition of the interaction of color-by making, for instance, two very different colors look alike, or nearly alike.
So i found this image based off my book i design. My theme is dark so i wanted to find an image that represents it more. So i discover this artist and her work and i like the dark colors that she included and the idea of her showing what is like to have depression and anxiety. This color reference will be use in my book and any of future ideas i have, i can always come back to this. I spend about 25 minutes on this project alone.
