Final Project Sketches and Ideas

P5 Final Flag and Swatches






Since this project was more open ended and meant to reflect ourselves, I decided to go with a composition reminiscent of my own personal design. I also decide to pick one of my favorite color schemes and one of my favorite shapes. The design is quite bold and I sort of meant to imply that as a silent statement. Overall, I had a lot of fun with this project.

Project 5: Color Swatches and Sketches





I am thinking of a triangular shape for the final flag, however I still have not decided on my composition yet. I have decided to work with a mainly warm analogous color scheme.

Munsell Matte/ Gloss Chart





For some reason, my Munsell copy provided me with two gloss sets instead of one matte and one gloss. I still understood the idea of it and completed the chart anyway.

Transparency Chart and Color Studies Progress


I decided to go with a color palette that is very different for me. I usually go for warmer palettes, however, I decided to try something new. I am actually happy with my color choice here. As for the design, I would like to work on it a little more. This is definitely not the final.

Project 2:Vibrating Boundaries Progress



Ch 3. Relatationships Among Colors (pgs. 43-50) and Simultaneous Contrast




Color Wheel and Project 1


The color palette I chose for my piece was blue green. I got inspiration from a plant on my windowsill. I chose this color because I do not usually choose this color for a monochromatic piece. I would normally choose a purple hue however I wanted to try something different.
