Tertiary Color



I used the same design as the Black & White post. I played around with the dimensions of hues and tones in order to get a good color on this draft. Using tertiary colors together creates a balance in an otherwise contrasted layout. I was trying to play around with the percentages of the colors to avoid too much repetition of the same color swatches. I added some more techniques than I did in my last post. I made one of the squares in the middle see-through, using light colors in order to see the other squares behind it.

Black and White


In this design, I used a variety of shapes to contrast the image. This design was intended to have more volume in it, so that each shape gets specific attention. Sketching the draft first took time because I did not want to have too much balance. I rotated the form many times in order for the layout to be in harmony. I didn't want this layout to have too much of one color in one space, creating too much rhythm. This design is simple, but each shape is complex in its own way. The colors in each shape are different and have frames to contrast the image.
