My colour work





These are the two pictures I edited using photoshop.

The Dreaming - Colour and Light Work


I chose this picture by Rebecca partridge because I find the qualities very interesting what I find most interesting is that she only uses the colours red, blue and green in the main circles but by adding them with others circles of different colour she creates new ones. This is the only piece where she does this, in dazzling darkness she comes close but not all the images mix. She also uses the colour black in the background to bring out all these colours whereas in all of the others except one she would use a black background. I picked this background because of its uniqueness I think it stands out from the rest. She used brighter and darker versions of the colour at the top and the bottom of her work creating a 3D effect as if the coloured lights where traveling in a cylindrical shape I say this because the coloured circles at the top are brighter and the ones at the bottom are darker creating a feeling of seeing light at the end of a tunnel and darkness at the bottom. This work is called dreaming and my understanding of this would be that where it is dark she would be dreaming but because there is an effect of the brighter colours approaching i would say she is about to wake up.

Rule of thirds

The rule of Thirds is term stating how a picture can be divided into 9 equal parts by using 4 lines which 2 of them are vertical and the other 2 are horizontal. With doing this the rule comes into play because automatically the images points of intrest are brought forward and are directed to all viewers interest. The lines crossing each others paths are power points creating points of interest depending on the image itself.

Why we want our purchased items to do more than work well and what is going on in your mind as you purchase a new item?


We want this because within time the items purchased will become more meaningfull towards the person who bought it for example this skateboard i bought, it might seem worn out but the only reason i have not gotten rid of it is because not only does this skateboard serve its purpose but i also have an emotional connection to it because of the tricks i have successfully landed on it. this would be the same for anyone with an item they have purchased another example would be an ipod because it holds that persons songs and thier pictures so some would say it holds more of an emotional attachment to the owner but with a skateboard most scrathes on the board resemble a time when a trick was attempted or if a sticker is placed it could resemble the time a person did a certain trick. I think people would pay extra fo something with an appealing form to simply show others that they either have the money to afford such or that they simply like that appealing form.
