Color Scheme 1: Split Complementary
The assignment this week was to turn a photo into black and white and then overlay it with colors. This was the most time-consuming assignment so far for me. I used the quick mask eraser method to complete the whole photo, so I know that, as well as the picture I choice, contributed to the time. I realized it would take so long after I first finished the car and saw how many individual pieces were left, but ultimately, I was too stubborn to give up and switch photos. It was very interesting to see the process of grouping individual pieces of a photo together, and once that is the done the ease of being able to make so many different versions. For example, the quick masking took SO long, but making 2 copies after in other color schemes was very easy and fun. My favorite photo I completed was my split complementary color scheme. This was my favorite because I feel like the colors go really well and it reminds me of the 2000's. My least favorite one I completed was my complementary color scheme because I feel like the background doesn't go well and it looks too dark and like muddled. Some design choices I made were trying to keep the car and the sign as focal points of the photo, making sure the background chosen wasn't too bright, and making sure the color scheme made the contents of the photo pop. Overall, this assignment was okay, I enjoyed learning the process, but I felt like the amount of time I spent on my project didn't align with my end result.
