Jenna Barratt | Final Project

For this project, I literally incorporated everything I had learned in this class. This is a booklet I made for my sister. She recently just had her fourth baby girl so I made a memory book for her with pictures of her girls and the facts about them. I worked a lot with Photoshop for the photo editing and InDesign for the design. In the photos, I brighten them, cropped them, took things out of the background, and color balanced them. For the design part, I had to incorporate the same design style in four separate documents so the pages would be different sizes. I worked a lot with alignment, composition, proxmitiy, and repetition. The alignment was key to have the message "the love just keeps growing" come across. The repetition was used in the design and facts for each daughter being the same. Proximity was my concern for the type pages that the type is coming off the page to give interesting lines when the booklet is closed. Contrast was the most interesting element in the differing page size to create the feel that the love literally was growing.

I chose a muted pastel color palette because I thought it was pretty and girly, something my sister would really enjoy. I was caught off guard how hard it was to print and I ran into a lot of complications, but I love the final product and I think it was worth it. I am sure my sister will enjoy it.

Steve Clarke - Final Project: The Evolution of Jazz

For my final project I wanted to make an infographic. At first I was going to make the graphic just about the changes in the team logo over time, but I found myself wanting to add more! I did the entire project on photoshop, which I kind of regret since it took a long time (the dollar amount visualizations took awhile), but I guess I guess the job done eventually. The bar graph also took a long time, but I wanted to include something visually appealing. I ended up using nearly all of the colors of the logo over the years, and my background was a simple gradient from retro purple to the modern navy blue that is used in the logo today. I tried to space everything proportionally, using what we learned in class about composition. I really enjoyed doing this project. Thanks.

Brooke Tait | Final Project

For my final project I decided to make a resume with graphics. I wanted to use this as an opportunity to really improve my illustrator skills and make my resume look better. I think a resume is a very important competent in any job. By using some of the things in class I was able to really see the difference in how I could present information about myself.
First of all I was very inspired after seeing some of the examples on the blog of resumes and tried to use as much creativity as I could without it loosing it's professionalism. I chose a color scheme that looked bright, I tried using contrasting colors that were attractive. I feel that the shapes to make it "pop" out more. Good composition is also important for a resume, so I organized it in a way that made sense and people could follow easily.
Overall, I was very pleased with the way it turned out. I feel that my skills in this area have really grown. I am excited to what I can start and create in the near future.

Liesl Hansen | Final Project: Corgi Infographic

I once was having a conversation with one of my friends about corgis. I said, "Corgis are adorable. I want one."
She responded, "Yeah, but their legs are too short."
And my response was: "EXACTLY. THAT'S WHAT MAKES THEM CUTE."

Which is why I decided to create an infographic on all the fun facts about corgis. The Pembroke Welsh corgi is more common (and in my opinion slightly cuter) than the Cardigan corgi, so I chose orange since they are most often associated with that color. I went for a complementary color scheme in sticking with purely blue and orange - I chose a soft blue to create a nice hue for viewers of the infographic. I wanted to emphasize the most fun facts at the top: they are a part of the royal family and their name means "Dwarf Dog." I tried to put all of the facts in areas that would guide the eyes. I added a crown to create a feeling of royalty and I made certain fonts bigger to emphasize different points.

Katie Arnell- Final Project - KTRnL Designs GIF

For my final project, I wanted to break away from just static images and attempt to create an animation of some sort. I wanted to create a gif, so I decided to make a gif that would be a quick advertisement for my designs (This is a gif, but for some reason my computer was being weird and it wouldn't save in gif format, so it is just in video format). I know how simple and raw this looks, but it is so much harder than I realized! I legitimately spent hours and hours on this project! So many little effects and changes to make! I made the gif on photoshop, and I created it all myself. The couple is made of two different side profiles from pictures that I had which I cut out and darkened to black. The rain is made up of x's and o's to go with the "love" scene and theme of the gif. I set up the frames on an animation timeline on Photoshop, which makes it possible to edit each of the slides to create the look of falling rain, moving people, zooming camera, etc. I spent SO much time editing each frame and moving layers very slightly across the timeline to make them move. For things that moved in a straight line, I was able to use the "tween" animation so that it moved it across the screen in a certain number of frames. I also created the logo myself, based off of a way I have been writing my name since fifth grade (KTRnL = Katie Arnell). I also had a lot of work adjusting visibility across the frames so that things shown in one frame did not show up later on. In addition, I wanted everything to reflect a color theme of red, black, and white to create a classy, romantic look. This project was mainly made up of tiny little changes to about 100 frames! But it also was a LOT of fun to make!

Another Shot for Success Naylor Crew

My cousin was in a motocycle accident where he broke both of his ankles and a few bones in his foot. He'e coming up on two years now from having surgery and receiving steel rods in both legs. I decided to do something for him because I know that motocross was his everything and the only thing that kept him on the right track and he's really fought hard to be where he is at today.
For my final project I started out with the picture of my cousin standing in the dessert and made it black and white. Them I copied his image two separate times to make the shadows on each side of him. Next, I found another picture of him and cut it out of the original photograph and placed it in the sky and then played around with the opacity and the fill to make it kind of see through. I wanted it to look almost as if he was reflecting back on himself riding. After changing the saturation and everything on the second image I decided to add text. It's a quote that I saw online but I kind of changed to have more meaning for me. Finally, I copied the text again to have a slight black outline and them made sure it all looked good.

Christine Marsh- Final project

For my final project I wanted to try to incorporate all of the elements that we have learned this term. I  see this as being an anti-bullying poster. First I cropped the photo so her eyes would line up on the third. Then I just starting adding all the text. I used many different sizes and weights to show that some words stand out stronger than others. I unsaturated the photo to give it a more melancholy feel. At first the font didn't have a good order on her face and it felt cluttered. Also, i didn't like how you lost many of the aspects of her face like her lips and nose. I decided to change the font to follow her face. I made the lips, curved the text around the curves of her face. I also, tried to recreate her nose and eyebrows out of the font. I decided not to cover up the eyes because I wanted to still have a real person behind the photo instead of covering her all up with text. Lastly, I added the slogan and added a drop shadow so that it stood out. I tried the picture in black and white but I felt that the text stood out better in color. If I had more time i would've liked to play with the font and shading more to give her reflection a more realistic look. 

This picture was taken at Lumpy's South night club in Sandy when I was competing in a karaoke competition. I decided to make an album cover for an upcoming music EP I have been working on with a few friends. The picture itself was very dark and I had to brighten it up a lot with Photoshop. I used a spotlight feature and brightened my upper body up. I used the selection tool to select and change my light grey jacket to red and tried to brighten my face up a bit. I put a border around the picture to create a more album effect while cropping off the picture into a square with myself centered in the middle. I overlaid my stage name centered in the middle in a white text to contrast the bright red jacket. I played around with different color combinations but wanted to stay with a red, black, white and grey theme. I balanced the type and put them in places that could highlight my name and album name.

Final Project: Makenzie Wistien #TSwift

Polaroid Photograph by: Makenzie Wistisen

While this may appear to be a simple project, there is much more here than meets the eye. I was inspired by the one and only Taylor Swift, my idol, my all-time favorite singer, my borderline creepy fixation, to recreate her infamous 1989 album cover photo. If you don't already know, Taylor included several Polaroid photos with hand written lyrics in her 1989 deluxe album package. Candid pictures of the singer dozing off on the couch or sitting all to fashionably in a city bus can be found in this photo album so to speak. 

The funny thing is we spend thousands of dollars on DSLR cameras and ultra high quality lenses to get that crystal clear, Vogue worthy image when in fact, photography is retroactively moving in the opposite direction. A leading figure in all things retro and hip, Taylor is reinforcing the Polaroid movement; young people using low quality, ancient cameras from Grandma's attic in order to achieve that perfectly blurred, low-light, low resolution photo devoid of detail or vivid color. 

I took this photo with a friends fairly new Polaroid camera in an attempt to stay true to the look of the album cover. I then cut the image in Photoshop and overlaid the album cover with Taylor's handwriting. It's a bit more rectangular than I'd like, but what can you do. Obviously, I enjoy enhancing our visual similarities in the form of clothing, makeup and style. People have repeatedly stopped me on the street, floored by our apparent similarity. It's a little awkward but being mistaken for you idol is also pretty fun. 

I wanted to resonate with Taylor's Polaroids by using an informal background and relaxed, almost disinterested pose. I desaturated the photo to a black and white image as I felt this added to the retro vibe and because I've dealt with a lot of color in previous projects, thought it would be refreshing to take a different approach. I sharpened the image just a tad and took care of a few blemishes. We can't all be as flawless as Taylor unfortunately, but I shake it off. Like Taylor, it's minimalist, but I had fun and have gotten a lot of positive feedback through social media. Haters gonna' hate, hate, hate, hate, hate but I hope you enjoyed! Thanks for viewing! 

My final project represents two completely different types of magazines in two distinctly different styles. In representing an organization as a communications professional, I believe that understanding different clients’ needs and the message they wish to represent is an important aspect of design—as opposed to simply implementing your own style and personality. Some of my previous projects have been incorporated in some way to show how they could be used in a style that fits with each of these two different publication personalities. First, a fictitious publication, Newport Living, would be a high-end, classical minimalist style. It would include informational articles that would interest the locals as well as vacationing visitors like the Local Artist Spotlight. The second publication is Hot Rod Magazine, attracting a completely different public. The two ads I created fit the customer base for this publication. I envision each of these publications to be online as well as in print, using the same images and style, with the online versions completely interactive. I used Photoshop and InDesign for this project.

Rosie Jarman | Final Project - Dear Lizzie Website

For my final project I decided to kill two birds with one stone and finish designing the website for my mother's boutique Dear Lizzie in Highland. The store is approaching its 10th anniversary so we've been doing some major updates, thus getting the website refreshed has been a huge priority. For a small business like ours, the main goal for any design work is that it effectively communicates the store's aesthetic while providing the crucial information potential and current customers need. Dear Lizzie is all about femininity and sophistication, so I pared back the design in order to provide a simple, clean backdrop against which images from the store itself can stand out. I wanted everything about the site to be undeniably Lizzie, thus, the floral pattern is taken from a photo of the wallpaper we have in-store and I've been working closely with my mom to get all the verbiage just right. (Much of the wording and images are actually only placeholders - waiting on getting our own images back and working on refining all our best quips!) The site won't be officially launching for a few more months, so I've got time to fill in the details, however, the bulk of the design is set in stone and I'm proud to say my mama approves!

Haley Hilton - Final Project - #howtheylived

For my final project I chose to create a video! I will be launching a hashtag campaign soon and this is the video I would like to use to get the word out. The campaign asks people to post pictures of themselves living in spite of difficult circumstances. I would like them to tag their images with my blog and add the #howtheylived to it. After this I will begin posting articles of the stories people share with my to my blog once a week. I am hoping to start a movement for good that could potentially be turned into a non-profit organization that helps people accomplish the goals they have always had in life, but haven't been capable of pursuing due to their circumstances. 

I wanted to make a video that was simple and spoke for itself. I used really clear and feminine font for the words so that they didn't distract from what was occurring on the screen. I chose a song that had power behind it and had a way of evoking emotion from the audience. I matched the timing of the song with what was happening in the video so that together they could create and overarching experience. I wanted to focus on lighting for the shots that were explanatory, and then have the shots about my life be simple and organic. I chose images found from my iPhone to make it seem natural and relatable. 

Steve Clarke: Assignment #4 - Join the Eagles' Nest

            Soooo... ya. I'm proud to be an eagle scout. Hah. No, um, I decided to create an ad for Boy Scouts of America, because I had this photo of my friends and I when we dressed up as scouts for Halloween one year, and I thought I could make it into something. For this assignment, I photoshopped us all out of the original picture and and placed us in a setting that would create more of an emotional reaction (large green field). As far as composition, I really tried to use white (blank) space to contribute to the balance of the ad in most of the upper-left fourth. I worked with both the horizon and the text "Come Fly With Us" to make sure it was on a third, and that the eagle and BSA logo were evenly distributed apart from and among the white space. For the scouts, I used a couple different photo effects in an attempt to get them to stand out and not look so obviously photoshopped. To do this, I put a shadow-ish affect over the top of all four of them as well as an outer glow.

Here is what I envisioned the ad looking like in a magazine.

Christine Marsh- Assignment 4

My roommate is a very talented artist. All of her paintings and designs are so cool, so for this assignment I wanted to piggy back on her creativity. I decided I wanted to showcase both her as the artist and her artwork. I took two photos and cut them in half. Then I took out the background, lightened the picture on the right, and added the text. I had to work a lot to make the nose, mouth, chin, and forehead match up. I used liquify, paint, and distortion to make them all line up. I added the BYU fine arts logo as kind of an invitation to join BYU's art program. I was hoping to make the picture slightly symmetrical horizontally. I would put this in a BYU magazine in order to encourage more students to join the College of Fine Arts.

Katie Arnell - Assignment #4 - Unlock your imagination

For this project, I decided to use a bilateral symmetry style for the composition. This is an advertisement for Adobe Software, such as Adobe Photoshop and Illustrated. The idea is that those softwares make it possible for you to unlock the imagination with in you to create something new and beautiful. The picture began with only the hand, and I duplicated and reflected that image to create the symmetry shown. I then used a number of photoshop effects and filters on specific parts of the bottom hand, which is the hand that represents our imagination. On the hand, I used a blue color filter, I used the Pointilize on the looping part around the hand. I lightly sprayed a pattern in yellow and purple to create a color haze, and I used a few black and white rectangle areas to create contrast. Finally, I solarized a few selected areas of the bottom half.

The white space was particularly important on the top half of the image, but because there was so much going on on the bottom half, it started out looking a little off balance. However, adding the text and brand logo at the top helped to reestablish balance for the image.

Brooke Tait | Assignment 4: Health Nut

For this project I decided to do a add for a health magazine. My purpose was to promote people to act on healthy choices. I work in the health science department and feel that choosing a healthy lifestyle is important. I wanted it to look more "natural" so I used a lot of greens and browns. I also played around with the gradient options. I wanted a simple and to-the-point layout so using a simple font was important as well as not using too many images. Health is something I feel passionate about as it controls how we feel day-to-day. As well as a healthy, avocados are one of my favorite foods.

Assignment 4 | Rosie Jarman, Business Card

For my composition assignment I decided to design myself a business card (or, rather, a calling card, since I don't technically have a business). I wanted it to be both feminine and modern while effectively communicating my style and aesthetic in a glance. I decided to do a take on my typography assignment but this time layer my name over a conglomeration of flowers (roses are a sort of signature of mine, for obvious reasons, but I have to be so careful not to let them get too old fashioned). I created the floral image in the background by (digitally) cutting the individual blossoms from vintage floral illustrations and then laying them out precisely how I wanted them, one by one - all mirroring done by hand. I then edited the image to have the grey-toned overlay which would allow for the black text to be visible. I wanted the back of the card to make sense with the front without imitating it, so I used a smaller point version of my front type to spell out my heading then put my contact information in lowercase to help visually categorize the different areas of information. To tie in the floral motifs, I chose one of my favorite blooms to incorporate into the center annnnd that was that!

#4: Composition: Following Fall: Makenzie Wistisen

Photograph by: Makenzie Wistisen

For this assignment, I began with an image that I felt displayed a unique and appealing composition. I took this photo last year during the fall while visiting Payson, Utah. Surrounded by brilliantly colored aspen trees and majestic mountains, this quaint, quiet, little lake has fostered many personal hours of solitude and exploration. I intentionally composed this photo with both a foreground and a background. The blurred shrub in the foreground adds visual interest and dimension to the photo as well as a splash of complementary red. Still focusing on the background however, the scene displays a towering, dark green forest embellished with yellow, perfectly reflected in the still water below a dividing line of white sand. I love the tranquility this photo elicits in addition to a sense of what lies beyond. Metaphorically speaking, there's also an idea of reflection and contemplation to be found in the wild. 

The photo is cropped to appeal to a sense of thirds and has been edited in Adobe Photoshop to enhance color, light, sharpness and contrast. I wanted the yellow to stand out without looking artificial, but I think the contrast of turquoise green creates a harmonious complementary color scheme. I incorporated the pop of red present into the tagline to interact with the color scheme of the photo and draw attention to the message which is one REI often uses in its own advertisements. I feel the message resonates perfectly with the mood of the photo and could be used to sponsor REI, a brand for outdoor enthusiasts like myself. I wish I could have overlaid the logo in pure white over the red, but unfortunately that didn't happen. I did however, choose a simple, bold font in white to match the font style and color of the logo. Overall, I think the ad comes together nicely. Thanks for viewing! 

I took this picture in 2014 while at the San Diego Auto Show. This particular car stood out to me because of the design and overall anticipation of the "Lexus/Toyota" LFA. This was probably the fastest stock car at the show. For the picture I added a painted effect to the whole picture and erased the part of the effect on the car. I used a spotlight effect to highlight the car and brightened the white to let the car be the main focal point in the image. I also cropped down the image to center it more on thirds. I eventually sharpened the image to let the natural curves and lines of the car pop. I basically made a flyer/magazine ad, promoting the 2016 San Diego International Auto Show. I also used a simple, clean "Geo Sans Light" type font and positioned the type in a way that was clear and visible.

Assignment 4: The Brocks Naylor, Crew

For my assignment I decided to make a concert poster for my friends band "The Brocks." I started with the picture of the band and played with the color a little bit adding more of a blue tint to give the appearance of different lighting. Then I sharpened the colors and played with the saturation. After getting the picture the way that i wanted I had to design and set up the lay our for the poster. I did a lot of it in powerpoint but some I did in photoshop. The most difficult part was trying to match the font to their already made logo. Once I found a font that was pretty dang close I rebuilt their band name and typed up the rest of the test and placed it on the poster where I thought it seemed fit. After combining the picture and the texts I went back into photoshop and played around with the vibrance, the exposure, and also the threshold, which is the picture below which I thought was cool and interesting and just wanted to hear thoughts about it.

Haley Hilton - Assignment 4 - Advertisement

Sorry about the horse picture again! I promise for the next assignment I'll shake things up! Okay so for this project I decided to do an advertisement that could be used for the Humane society whether it be for a poster or for internet advertising. I wanted it to be a combination of calling people to action as well as getting some exposure out for the company.

I leveled out my eye with the horses to represent the human connection with animals. It shows that we can feel similarly, and have similar needs for protection and care. The expression on my face matches the expression on the horses face. From there, the eye of the horse closest to the viewer as well as the Humane society logo and the eye of the horse behind make a triangle that attract the viewers eye. I felt that the determination in the eye of the horse really contrasted the eye of the horse suffering.

I was all about simplicity for this layout. I wanted a lot of open space so that the call to action was clear and specific. I didn't want there to be too much going on. I feel like the simplicity of the logo allows the image to speak for itself in encouraging people to take care of their pets, or to donate and support. I put the bottom two lines under the logo directly across from the horses eye and the persons eye to bring attention to that line.

I thought that this design was visually pleasing and could be effective in getting viewers attention. In the book it says that our ultimate aim in creating visuals should be to make the content "appealing, accessible, easy to read and easy to use." I felt that this design did this.

Jenna Barratt - Assignment 4 | Why Utah is the Best

So for my project I decided to make an infographic which was a really interesting learning experience. First, I decided on the topic of Utah because I work for the Governor of Utah. I then started gathering the information, choosing what I felt to be the most relevant and interesting. Then I picked out the photos, most of which are free clipart from online but I adjusted the images or took out the background on the images to give them a more cohesive style and not so blocky as they were.
Really the hardest part was the composition. I discovered interesting and useful tools on Indesign to align the images correctly and give even space throughout to give the infographic structure thus increasing the readability. I had to really rely on the grids. I definitely took into consideration contrast with the colors; repetition with the three rows of three and consistently with font choice; alignment with the columns and rows; and proximity with the text to image and the borders.
To pull it all together, I took the final project from Indesign and exported it as a jpeg and placed a yellow screen over the image. Overall, I think the graphic takes on a modernist style with an informative tone.

Liesl Hansen | Composition Assignment - Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

I decided to do a minimalist movie poster of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. It was really hard brainstorming for this one. The other minimalist posters I saw had elements that contributed to the main theme of the movie, but with this one it was a little vague. I chose to do the brain and the heart, since the plot of the movie is a couple that had broken up had erased each other from their memories. I also chose to have a bit of an old cassette tape - in this instance, just a wheel of one of the tapes that was featured in the movie - and have the heart revolve around that.

I used Adobe Illustrator. I used a grid and put the typography on several of the different lines. I tried to use the golden ratio in my design, what with the placement of the typography as well as the placement of the brain and the heart. I utilized the negative space on the bottom to make the heart (and the tape string attached to it) look more tangled and messy. I used the shapes tool to make the tape from the cassette, and used the brush tool to create the brain as well as the tape for the heart. My accent color was based off of the main female character Clementine and her blue hair. Overall I tried to unite everything but still create a feeling of disconnect with the separation of the strings from the brain and the heart. 

Assignment #4 - Local Artist Spotlight

The idea behind this composition assignment is intended to represent the work a public relations professional would be assigned to complete. This is a special interest, or earned media, article for a local publication like Salt Lake City Magazine, complete with a sponsorship attribution, MAC make-up. I created this page in a classical minimalist style, matching the style found in Salt Lake City Magazine. My daughter, Missy Lynn, who is featured in this composition, is a local musician who is a regular performing artist in several downtown venues including Keys On Main and Christopher’s. She is a singer, songwriter, and pianist who has recorded in Nashville and is a member of the Salt Lake City and Nashville’s Songwriters’ Associations. The object of this article would be mutually beneficial to both the local magazine, drawing interest to the downtown area and venues, as well as bringing publicity to the artist. I used Photoshop to fine-tune the pictures and InDesign to create the magazine article and MAC advertisement.

Jenna Barratt | Color Assignment- Rich Tradition

This is a picture of the bride's hands at the Indian wedding ceremony I attended. The bride always wears red and gold for the marriage ceremony. Red is the most prominent color for the bride and it symbolizes prosperity, fertility and martial bliss. Gold is symbolizes the blessing of Deity. The henna is more or less just for adornment, only done for a special occasion and the Indian tradition is that the new wife should not do any housework until the henna has faded away. They say the darker the henna the deeper the groom's love.

Really there are so many beautiful traditions surrounding this wedding ceremony and every color had special significance. I was amazed by the astounding color throughout the wedding, reception and other festivities. It was a bright and colorful event. I choose this warm palette for my color project because I felt it best represents the intense moment that was the actual wedding ceremony. With all the planning and time that had gone into the event, I wanted this color palette and photo to represent the richness of the wedding, the traditions and their love.

Color Theory Assignment: Makenzie Wistisen: #berad

Photo by: Alice Jane Canon feat. Makenzie Wistisen

This rad photo taken last year by my dear friend Alice Jane, was shot with a Canon portrait lens in downtown Provo. Featuring Kryptonics Skateboards and fashion by American Eagle Outfitters, this photo remains one of my all time favorite portrayals of my various personalities. Finding a balance between feminine, girly and sporty and cool strikes a real cord with me and I feel this photo perfectly displays that dichotomy. Between long, blonde hair, floral shorts, heart shaped shades and fuchsia pink wheels, the girly element is achieved while balanced by a black snap-back featuring Niche Snowboarding Company, a jean vested jacket and Converse sneakers. Traditionally speaking, longboarding and skateboarding are boys sports. The fact that I'm sitting, relaxed, contemplating with a distant gaze, on a shortboard, elicits that sporty, cool borderline punk vibe that is so crucial to my personality and active lifestyle. 

The twilight lighting is exquisite, even and the graffitied background perfectly compliments both the colors of the board as well as my hair and skin tones. Note the matching fuchsia tints found in the board wheels with the wall graffiti. The cyan within the artwork is also present in the board and adds an engaging contrast between the gold and silver. I'm drawn to the varying colors of this photo enhanced by an overarching sense of white; a clean, calm, pure color. I feel the sense of white space emphasizes the subject of the photo as well. As we've been discussing color in all of its complexities, several complementary colors can be found in this photo; purple, pink and blue form a triad on the color wheel to compliment the gold hues while the silver tone, a neutral, compliments each color individually to create a harmonious relationship. While there could be more diversification between complimentary colors, overall I feel the color scheme here works nicely. Thanks for viewing!  

Micah Domingo- Color Assignment- Watch

  For this assignment I chose to take a close up picture of some of the items I wore for the day. When choosing a color scheme for this project I decided to incorporate some of my favorite shades of red. I wanted the red in the watch to stand out so I brightened it a bit while leaving the shoes in the background bright yet slightly darker and blurred to focus on the various shades of red. I sharpened the image and slightly saturated the colors in the image. I also increased the vibrancy of the image to help define the shadows and help with the contrast.

Rosie Jarman | Color Assignment - Notting Hill

I took this photo of a Notting Hill facade while I was studying abroad in London this past fall. Out of all the colorful combos in the neighborhood, I particularly loved the way the yellow roses matched this home's door and accented the cool surrounding blues, grays, and greens. I used a photo editing app to intensify the shadows in the picture and therefore enhance the colors a bit and also edited out a couple of distracting orange stickers in the transom window. I love how the color scheme in this photo remains charming and warm without losing the historic sophistication of the city. The composition is a bit lacking in this photo as it was a quick snapshot (I always felt a little creepy taking pictures of people's houses - no matter how gorgeous they were) and I definitely wish I had shot from a slightly lower angle and more straight-on, but c'est la vie!

Below you can see where each color was taken from the photo...
