Color Scheme 1: Compounds
Color Scheme 3: Split Complementary
This week's assignment was the poster assignment with Illustrator which involved choosing a picture, image tracing it, choosing a valid color scheme, coloring it, and adding text. I did this process for 3 separate posters with 3 different types of color schemes. I ran into issues right away when the initial picture I chose did not work well with the image trace tool. This made me pivot to the image above which allowed for more picture definition and more shapes to be created. The effect of this can directly been seen by looking at how color schemes 1 and 2 have more shapes/color than scheme 3. The picture I chose depicts me on the boardwalk in Wildwood, New Jersey looking at a Zoltar while he is giving me a fortune. Since Zoltar is known for telling fortunes about the future, I added a slogan on my arm to each poster conveying a similar idea. I also tried to add my own shapes at a point to further color my picture but quickly realized the weirdness that goes on while trying to connect the pen tool with the image trace and decided against it. Overall, my triad color scheme poster was definitely my favorite. I felt the colors along with the text popped and enhanced the contents of the picture well. My least favorite poster is my split complementary because my picture lost definition during image trace processing which lead to less shapes as well as I do not love the color scheme. In the end, I am happy with my results but also am excited to try Photoshop and see how much easier the process can be.
