| Spot Color by Ajiah Daley |
Using Color To Create Mood And Editing Your Selections...
This is an assignment in the use of filters, painting, and the application of spot color. Take an existing photo and change the color dramatically or drastically in an aesthetically pleasing way. Your textbook Design Fundamentals for New Media describes several appropriate exercises: see #1, 2, 4, or 6 at the end of Chapter 9. Using photographic images (not illustration, please, unless it us your own!), you can play with warm versus cool colors, color adjacency, complementary colors, tinting, etc. Choose images that you have permission to use or that are royalty-free wherever possible, and pay particular attention to resolution and print quality and most important of all, MOOD. DO NOT WORK ON AN IMAGE SMALLER THAN 6” x 8" in 240 DPI or you will be graded down.
For this assignment, you will be evaluated on the following:
• Creativity/Originality/Effective use of color, mood, and drama
• Design & Composition Choices
• Overall Aesthetics/Decisions
• Fulfillment of Assignment Requirements
• Contrast/Value/Color Choices
• Complexity of Work/Demonstration of Skill
• Clarity/Final Resolution of Output
• Use of PS Filters
• Use of Tools/Attention to Detail
• Blending/Transparency of filtering & color corrections/Finesse
Upload the PS file with layers intact along with the original image to the Server 8 drop box before class on the day of critique. Email a JPG of the original and the final to me after the critique to let me know it is ready for evaluation. You should briefly discuss in your email (3-5 sentences) what you chose to accomplish with your color project and what you learned in the process as well as what your finished product has to say about mood and color. As with all Art 109 projects, when you send a file by email be sure your name is somewhere in the file name.
