For my final project, I wanted to experiment with how white reacts to different types of lighting. I took different types of lighting found in nature and exposed a white sheet to the light. The results were creepy and very vibrant.

Project 5- Flag
For my flag, I wanted to make it look playful and simple like most flags of the world. I also wanted to counteract the simpleness with high in chroma colors.

Project 4- Transparency
Transparency study
Transparency Gif
I chose to use this color scheme because I feel that reds and purples go well together. It makes the pieces feel whimsical.

Project 3- Simultaneous Contrast
Two colors as one
One color as two
I chose to do the design for these two by thinking about a retro aesthetic. I wanted to use colors that contrasted with one another and also had a pop feel to them. Both of the designs, I feel, portray a very poppy feeling.

Project 1- Color Wheel
I chose the color blue for my first project because I really enjoyed the different shades I got out of mixing the paint. The blue also seemed very cool to me which relates back to the thing I was painting.

Color Usage in Only Lovers Left Alive
Color is used successfully in the film Only Lovers Left Alive by Jim Jarmusch. The cool colors in the first image have a relaxing feel to them. The slight difference in color make the figures stand out apart from the rest of the image. In the second picture, the colors are more warm and soft. They look inviting and draw the attention to the figures. The viewer's eye is drawn to the splash of red, which brings a sense of excitement to the viewer.
