Adobe Illustrator, 5" x 6" Image Area
The purpose of this project was to experience Johannes Itten's theory of colour contrast. The colour contrasts explored in this project include the following:
Contrast of Extension
Contrast of Hue
Complementary Contrast
Simultaneous Contrast
Contrast of Saturation
Cold-Warm Contrast
The first step in this project was to conduct research since Itten's theory of colour contrasts was new to me. I took the time to study and understand each contrast to use them in the final designs.
The second step in this project was to create thumbnails of designs that would ultimately be the composition of this project.
The third step of this project was to choose one thumbnail and use Itten's colour contrasts to produce six different colour concepts. The final pieces were produced digitally in Adobe Illustrator using these colour concepts.
