colour+

This experimental was initiated with the idea of visually presenting the quality that colour adds to design, and how just a slight change in color intensity can change the perception of an image. I love playing with typography and text in my design projects; and Pierre Bonnard’s words: “Colour does not add a pleasant quality to design, it reinforces it.” fitted perfectly with my idea.


Take a quick look and see where your eyes go.





Note how the centre of attention are the coloured areas, even though black has a greater value than magenta. Now, look at the next image.




See how it goes from the magenta to the black areas.


This next image is an iteration of the same idea, I just made the difference more obvious, the background goes being the most noticeable part of the piece to be just a background.
