Black and White to Color



For this project, we had to turn a black and white image into color using the adobe color palette. I used colors that don't look natural but look good together. My favorite is the Split Complementary because there are three different colors used that contrast each other and the environment reminds me of The Little Mermaid. I used complimentary with blue and orange colors because I like the mix of warm and cool colors. I liked using monochromatic because it's different shades of the same color and looks a little natural. 
I used this picture because I felt the background was perfect to work with and I wanted the rocks to be the focal point. It was hard selecting the right amount of area for each color change so I had to do multiple selections most of the time. I like that it doesn't;t look realistic but I like the colors I used.

    I like how these turned out. Your color combinations work really well, but I keep going back to the monochromatic piece. I love the neutral tones mixed with the grayscale.

For this project, I wanted to contrast the background with what is going on inside me. The background is a peaceful environment that represents optimism and happiness that I want to surround myself with. Inside of me are flames and cogwheels to represent the amount of stress I have gained this year and how much I have changed negatively. I wanted to tell a little story and add a little seriousness to this project, but I like the contrast. I used layers and masking and curves to blend all the images together and adjusted the opacity, hue and saturation, and brightness to add more emphasis and darkness overall. I enjoyed using photoshop, it wasn't as hard as I thought. All Images Used

  For this project, I needed to create a tag brush design using my logo from illustrator. I used a color combination I think look good together which is green and blue. I liked the scratch and spray effect we used to create the design around the logo. I think cooler colors went better with this design. Black and White Logo Used

Propaganda Poster

   For this project, I wanted to do an issue that I really care about and I love animals, so I went with an important problem. I have two dogs in the poster and words emphasizing that these animals are family. I covered half of my profile with the dogs so that it kind of blends in. I am very proud of how this turned out and I believe it is a convincing argument.  I made the dogs black and white as a nice contrast and I used a light purple background to present and comforting and calm feeling. I made my face red like the rage and anger I have toward the subject and I wanted to hide my face to make the dogs the main focus. I put the words "end pet abandonment" over and over so it emphasizes the importance of this issue and to make sure my argument is clear. This took about 3-4 hours.
