Analogous Color Design

This is my Analogous Color Design. An analogous color scheme consists of colors which are next to each other on the color wheel. The analogous color scheme that I chose to use (2 colors only) makes use of either one primary or one secondary color and the tertiary color directly beside the primary or secondary chosen. In the image above I chose the primary color Blue and paired it up with the tertiary Blue-Violet (Blue-Green could have been used instead since the paired tertiary can be taken from either side of the secondary or primary color initially chosen). In the image above, tints, tones, and shades are included for both Blue and the tertiary Blue-Violet. Value scales have also been constructed and included for the colors Blue and Blue-Violet; in the scales 0=Black and 10=white.

Greyscale Cube

The image above is a Greyscale Cube. The greyscale is made in the spirit of the Munsell Greyscale and uses the all of its values (1-9) as well as black (0) and white (10). Unlike the Munsell Greyscale, the values are not arranged in a linear fashion but are labeled for clarity. Using value and shape alone, for this image, the greyscale is strategically used to create and imply form.

Inventive Greyscale Design

This is my Inventive Greyscale Design. The concept behind this is simply to take the Albert Munsell "value scale" and apply the values 0-10, 0 being the lowest (true black) and 10 being the highest value (pure white), to an inventive design. Each portion of the scale is labeled as to its respective value because the design is not linear; the values are scattered in various areas to reinforce the visual impact of the design.
