Composition. The combination of different parts and colors to make a whole. Though composition can never be determined as "good" or "bad" (because everyone has their own taste and bias), there are elements that are more pleasing to the eye. In this case, the grayscale picture shows movement and appears to have a feather texture. The circular cutout creates a focal point. The pink wire sits on top and creates depth as well as gives the eye a track to follow along.
Color harmony : color disharmony. Sometimes uncomplimentary colors combine together to create something that works. This is the one case when too many bad things do equal good. The blue and orange contrast as complementaries while the navy, purple, yellow and tan create an obscure addition. The different textures in the silk pants, socks, sweater, graphic tee and face paint add to the dynamic combination. All of the aspects seem to be so visually unusual that it works.
Color harmony : earth colors. Hues made from pigments found in soil. Similar to an analogous scheme, with similar hues wide in variation. Burnt umber, burnt umber and golden yellow are typical. From malissasplace.
Color harmony : chromatic grays. These are the muted colors made from mixing different hues. This is without the help of black & white. The colors come out subtle yet vibrant. Here muted light blues, vibrant pear greens and dark emerald hues create a sophisticated atmosphere.
Color harmony : triadic colors. Three colors spaced triangularly around the color wheel. The colors are spaced far apart to create a powerful, visual impact. This Anthropologie window grabs the eye with red, yellow and blue.
Color harmony : split-complementary colors. Combination of the complement color and the two opposite colors around the complement. In this case, red-orange, green and blue are used. There are some variation of hue for the green and blue, but this is a good representation of "real-life" design.
Color harmony : complementary colors. Two opposite colors (on the traditional wheel) that pair well together. In this case, purple and yellow compliment one another.
Color harmony : analogous colors. Those colors that are adjacent on the wheel. In this case green, blue-green and blue are shown. The three shades compliment one another and provide a more variation than monochromatic studies.
Color harmony : monochromatic colors The variations of a single color. In this case, red is depicted in a few shades.
45 Grave concert flyer, 1981. Tertiary colors are made when a primary color and secondary color are combined. The primary red of the "4" and the secondary green "5" make a shade of brown.
Moyra Swan in Cardin, 1969. Photo by Bert Stern. Mixing primary colors creates secondary colors: green, violet, orange. Yellow + Blue = Green. Red + Blue = Violet. Red + Yellow = Orange.
The primary colors in architecture. Red, yellow and blue can create many other colors. This building highlights those basic hues.
Museu da Casa Brasileira flyer. This is an example if the color opponent theory. Our eyes can only register one color at a time. The constant shifting from one to another causes the colors to glow. The red and blue seem to radiate off the page.
Beetle Bezold effect! The change from white to black line changes our view of the shape. The white beetle seems to glow while the black sits on the page.
Paul Giovis poster. This poster shows how simultaneous color contrast works. The visual interaction of a color by an outside color. There is an illusion of visual color change when a color interacts with different colors (whoa, the word "color" went a little wild there). Example: the green appears darker against the red and lighter against the black.
The wonders of chiaroscuro. The handful of grey and white values to form the man's face against the black foreground creates the illusion of space. The light source on the man vs. the black background provides depth.
Atmospheric perspective is created when the foreground fades in value. The closer the object is the darker it is rendered. This is the easiest way to form illusion of space. This model shows the power and influence of value transition.
