Final Visualisation pages - colour & metaphor/ signs and symbols

Through this I attempted to portray how colour and image are linked to metaphor and meaning. Once the image and colour is warped, how does the meaning change? If you select meaning (through song or image), how does this influence the viewer?

How to use signs and symbols for branding

Colour wheel aesthetic.

The colour wheel could be a good way of displaying all different emotions of visual art on one page. I might explore how images give different psychological effects when made with different colours

Angles:

Sharp angle, by Kandinsky is an aggressive angle, there for an angle of  30˚ best matches the color yellow. Straight angle 90˚ is red (remember the figure square for red). As more dull is goes, it turns into bluer (for 150˚), as it has less aggression, and eventually turns into black horizontal line (180˚).

White line by Wassily Wassilyevich is positioned vertically, an opposite to black (horizontal).

Would you find this theory useful to you or not, it is an interesting theory to know. Kandinsky has developed it not only by his synesthesic understanding of the colors (which could be different for many people), but also based it on his own experience of people’s reaction on his work.

Final Draft of Visualisation - we combined text and images in order to best interpret how we view and perceive colour in a range of ways, focusing on different aspects of colour.

Original vs warped images - how has the meaning changed? What do we now associate with the images based on the colour?

[carla-cofa1002]

FINAL VISUALISATION IDEA

I started playing around with warping images and thought it was an interesting concept in relation to colour and metaphor. Red traditionally represents danger, passion, sex and evil. But if we warp the images meant to represent this, then what are we looking at? 

I have taken some images and warped them so the image itself is no longer visible, but just the colour - how does this alter how we perceive it and what we associate with it?

To me a mix is still a fairly personal thing you make for someone—like building yourselves a tender anxious little room. Like holding space in a mean jangling city. The best mixes are childish and hopeful.  Runways, runaways. They’ll reach for you in the middle of the night.

Bernadette Mayer writes “So what who cares songs of one and / Experience of this is a case like / Whole and I am not from there I write / To you.” Sure my classrooms and my environments are cases “like / Whole” (hopefully whole) and so demand new faces, different entrances, distance of a certain kind, but if I’m making you a SEX AND POWER mix (which I did!) it’s going to be personal. Otherwise, what’s the point? “songs of one and/ Experience” are better than William Blake, sometimes. That said, don’t be boring and assume this is just about making out, not (for example) cities. I never feel more powerful than when I’m walking home alone by the river at night.

Anyway, this mix is something for you to loop that next morning while you walk, towards away or home, through gold October leaves. I won’t write too much about these songs because I’d rather you just listened first. I still believe doing that can change your whole life.

Cultural Color

An understanding of cultural color and symbolism is essential to anyone doing business with other countries and other societies.

Some interesting symbolism explored within different cultures

DIRECTIONS: GREEN

Colours mean signs mean symbols mean meaning. Next time you want to say yes, make a frown, thumbs down. Dye all your money different shades of black just to see if you become more successful. Green now means no. Green is jealousy, is wealth, is GO. Or is it?
