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 2- Vibrating Edges

I wanted to show the way that colors reacted when placed next to each other. I chose blue and orange to represent the vibrating edge. The design says 'pen' because I have been interested in the phrase "the pen is mightier than the sword."

Simultaneous Contrast

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. 

Advancing and Receding Colors/ Successive Contrast

When cool colors are placed next to or surrounding warm colors, the warm hues appear to be closer to the viewer (to advance) whearase the cool hues appear farther away.
