I made a candlelit desk with a paper and pencil on it. I used shapes to build the candle and flame, and edited squares to make the desk match the orientation I wanted. I used gradients on almost every object to help achieve the feeling of nighttime and darkness, that the candle is the only thing giving off light.
For my color wheel, I chose a flower for the outside because I thought it would look distinct and the angle would infer direction. With the warm and cool colors, I used different fonts for the color lists as a whole, and set up the warm colors to look a little more wild, and the cool colors more controlled, representing what the colors tend to mean.
For this project, after forming the boxes and duplicating them to reach 64, I went from top to bottom adding different swatches, colors, gradients, and patterns. The top two rows are the base CMYK colors and gradients based off of them. The following groups of colors from top to bottom are fruit, earth tones, corporate, decorative legacy (patterns), foliage, and ice cream. I thought that each of these had an interesting feel to them and it was interesting to find colors that seem so different but match up well when placed together.
This is my bowl of limes based on Dakota Johnson's famous line "I love limes, I love them and I love presenting them in my home like this." The pear is also there and there's some grapes in the corner for some color variation. i used the pen tool to draw the limes, the leaves, the pear, and the bowl, and used the shape tools for the grapes and wall/table.
I decided to make the logo lowercase this time because it made a more playful style, and the letters linked together better. I thought that keeping it simple to the two letters, especially in this configuration is recognizable enough.
For this infographic, I wanted to call attention to recycling reform and how plastic bottles are currently recycled. I used visual hierarchy and some careful color choice to help guide the viewer’s eye.
I wanted to use the graphics to draw some extra attention, so having them a different color palette than the rest of the infographic was a useful tool. Other than that, the blue and green overall colors help to remind viewers of the earth.
