Color Theory Project 2) Josef Albers Color Interaction

Josef Ablers Color Interaction allows you achieve a sense of difference in colors using the same color. How to achieve this : For each category, use only one chip color on 2 different backgrounds.



The image above is an example of the difference in value. Here I used a green chip , to show the difference in value ( lightness or darkness). The chip on the left looks darker and more of a tree green while the chip on the right looks lighter like a lime green.


The image above is an example of the difference in hue. I used a red chip to show the change in color. On the left image the red chips looks red while on the right image the red chip looks maroon.


The image above is an example of the difference in saturation ( value and hue). Here I used a grey-ish looking chip. On the left image the chips looks lighter and grey. On the right the chip looks darker and blue.

Color Theory project 1) Value and Hue Collage

Value and hue collage's objective was to be able to transform a colored collage to a grayscale collage, keeping in mind the same value.




The collage above is the "hue" collage.

  
The collage above is the grayscale version of the hue collage. It was hard trying to get the same grayscale value from random magazine papers, so it is not accurate enough in the sense of the grayscale.



This collage above, is a random piece made up of 5 colors. The instructions to making this, was simply to use ONLY 5 colors, so i decided on designing it , like the rainbow.
