Assignment #3 - Steven Dawson - Sound Blight

SoundBlight

I chose a Tritone color scheme, then implemented shades of the purple hues to create a shadow effect and give the image more depth. There are two purples, two yellows, and one green, each an equal distance from the others on the color wheel.

This design is a book cover for NaNoWriMo. I chose the purples because that color is plot important for the book I'm writing, and I chose the font because it looks archaic and i'm writing a book set back in medieval times.

there's not much else to say, I did this in photoshop, using a base photo as a template for the image. I like how the image maintains contrast while still holding a warm, soothing feeling without becoming too busy.

I commented on: Clarissa Oliphant, M’leah Ricker, Austin DeLeMare, Hailey Stevens, Esteban De Hoyos

  1. I think you had a good use of the purple hues in this photo. I don't know if you were going for a little more loud but it definitely makes it feel a little louder and kind of draws me in because it makes me want to figure out what's going on in the pic. Good job, though :)

  4. The color scheme really pops out at you. Reminds me a bit of Aladdin with the both the colors and font similar to that found in the movie. I really like the mirroring effect with the light and dark purple shadowing the jagged triangles.

  5. I like that you used a triadic tone but also added the fourth color with the shade of the main purple. My only suggestion would be to maybe try your name in a different font than the title, but I like these colors you chose.

  6. I know you used colors at equal distances in the color wheel, but for me the green is a little bit weird in there. I still think you did a good job at putting it where you put it, but it might have been interesting to try a different shade or tint of green. I liked the picture a lot because it's well balanced and purple is a great color.
