Original abstract vector (part three)
Take two colors that properly describe your design and add
them to the vector. Then take one color that does the opposite.
Red: Excitement, tension, passion, danger, strength, energy,
and power are a few words that come to mind in our western culture when the
color red is used. The color red is the most widely used color in advertising
and media because our eyes are naturally drawn into the warm energy it creates.
In this design the tension caused by the upward motion of the repeating
circular forms are well represented by the dark red. I wanted to color only
small sections of the design red so not to unbalance the design. I also wanted
the red dashed lines to help direct the eye towards the dynamic, diagonal,
upwards direction.
Yellow: Known for its cheeriness, and warming effect,
yellow, also simulates the mind and muscle activity. It encourages joy,
adventure but is also represents betrayal.
I used a limited amount of bright yellow in my design because of its
foreground/background position. The color betrays the eye as it is drawn away
from the up and rightward movement. The pop of yellow creates balance and unity
with on the design while still encouraging warm excitement throughout.
Blue turquoise: Symbolizing a calming spirit and a feminine appeal,
turquoise is rather opposite from the strong repetition found in the design.
For the cooling turquoise to be affective I need to color a large part the
design. I also want to pull the eye away from the unity and motion that moves
upward so I colored smaller parts. Overall, the chilling clam disrupts the
original tension by putting the focuses on the middle of the design.
