Project 2: Color

DMA: 214

Emily Scherer

Urban city- Analogous

Seascape- Complementary

Arid desert- Triadic

Outer Space- Split complementary

  1. I learned how to create a color scheme like split complementary and match it with a landscape like desert. 
  2. The easy thing was creating the shapes and design of the frames to match the landscapes like extraterrestrial I made planets and stars. 
  3. What was challenging was to create a color scheme with one color and different hues because I felt like I kept wanting to choose different colors. 
  4. My submission could be improved by fixing some of the rules that I may be breaking like don’t be a wimp and make things bigger and also not have things so symmetrical and diagonal symmetry. 
  5. You could improve the project by adding two color schemes in one landscape to make it a little more challenging. 
  6. I will apply this to my future job because I will know the color schemes and how to design a website with a working color scheme. This will be beneficial instead of choosing random colors I think look good together
  7. Design principles: Smashing magazine made me have a different perspective because I never thought too in depth about the use of color and similarity and contrast and how important it is.
