Colour-ways

We had to learn about different colour-ways and what works with who. What this means is when you designed something, you alternate the colours to create different moods and feelings. For instance, this is an example from Google. It has the same design and shape, just completely different colours within them. This is a good way to experiment.

I decided to use different colour-ways with something I had previously designed that I had given up on. This is the original piece that was meant to be used for a tattoo idea. I did like it but I thought I could improve on the simplicity of it all. This was a perfect opportunity to experiment with colour.

Firstly, I added colour behind it. This made the piece 'pop' little more, and added some fun to it. I also changed the colour of the birds, however, I thought I could do more.

That evolved into a 'blue' vision of the girl. I liked the orange behind and how it contrasted with the blues, but more experimentation was necessary, and that led into these other versions.

Overall, my favourite has to be the purple girl with the navy background. The colours compliment each other well, and it's pleasing on the eye. I would've chosen the orange and blue girl because of the contrast, but it was very bright.

My least favourite the red background and the yellow-ish girl. Ths is because it almost looked natural, but yet off. It was plain and very close to the original.

Next time, I would experiment with different types of colour schemes like complementary, etc. Just to get a wider variety in choices.
