Here is my part one: written proposal and thumbnails
For my final project, I am using flower-like shapes to
express feelings of excitement and happiness. After building shapes and playing
with the pathfinder options, I came up with this flower with a sun-like
center. I thought it looked kind of
neat, so I decided to this as my subject matter. Also, flowers are naturally
light hearted and can make people smile.
I will put the flowers on a background that will cause excitement and
interest. The background will consist of a pattern that will push the flowers
forward in the design creating depth.
My goal is to create a composition that will excite the
viewer and evoke a feeling of happiness.
It will have a good sense of depth. To get the depth and level of
excitement that I want, I will utilize overlapping shapes, diminishing size,
gravity, tints, shades and tones. Since the subject matter is flowers and the
feeling is happiness, I will stick to warmer colors. I will either use an
analogous or triad color strategy. I think that a tetrad strategy will be the
composition obnoxious and that is not what I am going for.
I am anticipating that my biggest challenge will be finding
the right color strategy for my design. Then once I find the right colors, the
next challenge will be apply the colors to my design using tints, tones and
shades of the colors. The color strategy
will be the most important part of my design because it is going to be
responsible for the majority of the depth. I will overcome these challenges by
using Kuler to choose the colors for my color palette and a combination of the
color picker and blend tool to get the tints, tones and shades.
I believe I will be using the top left design for this project, but that could change after critiques.
