Exhibit 4

Background:

I wanted to use color to try and express some emotion. I found this photo on a free website and the man seemed like a good fit to express emotion. To me it seemed like he had a lot of energy so I used red to try to express energy and adrenaline. I know red is typically associated with anger but I am hoping this has a different affect and creates more of a fun feeling. I used a red color fill and then blended it into color mode and then added a mask and erased the skin tones. The purpose of this graphic is to be a poster and be displayed to create emotion and get excited.

Revision:

• added title to make it look like a cover

• made background black and white so the red pops more

• made only the man red so it wasn't overwhelming

• changed the color so it was brighter and not pink

• added a drop shadow to words

Design:

Contrast - The skin tone contrasts with the red so it stands out. The adjustment layers use black and white to add contrast for the lighting.

Repetition - I used the color red repeatedly in the picture so it all goes together.

Alignment - The person is aligned in the middle so you can see how they are the the main focus.

Proximity - The person is close to the camera so it feels like the person is interacting with the audience.
