The Color Theory on a Travel Poster..

Here’s another assignment from my sessions.edu online program’s Color Theory class..

The assignment here was to create a travel poster of my choice,  and considering readability and contrast in regards to using type. The exception here is to not use any color photography.  

An essential recommendation from the instructor, and this could be useful to anyone working on a poster, is to start of with using two to four colors and then filling in the rest with different values of each color and/or different intensities.

Here I chose Egypty’s Sharm El Sheikh; I wanted to project the exciting adventures of the sea and sea activities that is one of the things Sharm is very well  known for.

My doodles in Composition..

 

This is an assignment I recently worked on in my Design and Composition class.

The point is to approach the same object- which is my character here- using space, size and different positioning to change how the object is perceived.

The first image from the left is the character in open negative space, the second is zoomed in to a closed space and the third is where the negative space (the background) is divided by the ground and the rain drops.

Sarah Al Jasmi’s Package..

Here’s a design package I worked on for a friend of mine. A fashion designer that knew exactly what she was looking for. Black and white colors of laced flowers and her name…

Color & Light

This is an assignment that focuses on how color and light work together. 

I was asked to choose two pictures; one of a painting and the other of an object from real life, and its best if both show a strong value contrast and strong color relations.

My choices:  

• A Painting of Audrey Hepburn
• A porcelain object; a handpainted butterfly

Process: (the same process was done for both)

• I placed a suitable color for the background
• The first part of the assignment was to trace all the areas of light (lighter colors where the light hit)
• Followed by tracing all the areas of dark (the darkest colors)
• And then moving on to tracing the middle value colors

Slowly the original picture will appear in abstract shapes of colors! This exercise also shows which colors pop out and which colors fall in the background.. also known as the push and pull effect ..
