Project 3

Patterns
Computer Chips:  Created using the line and rectangle tools as well as scanned images of the skull sketches and the brain & tomato clip art.  5 variations used.
Tomatoes:  Clip art edited in Photoshop.  7 variations used.
Skulls:  Original thumbnail and working sketches scanned into Illustrator.  6 variations used.
Brains:  Clip art edited in Illustrator.  2 variations used.
Lines: Just lines drawn in Illustrator with various stroke weight & colored red, green, and/or black.  In a couple of instances I used patterns in the strokes of other objects and increased the stroke weight to emphasize that.  4 variations used.
Text:  My name in caps or lower case in both red & black.  3 variations used.
Image Trace:  I used image trace to get a silhouette from a picture of Einstein and one of me.  2 variations used.

Color Scheme
Began as a monochromatic green with black, white & grey.  When I completed the design I decided to use CMYK red as a way to move the eye around the composition.  So I guess I ended up with a complementary color scheme.

  1. The repeated shapes help give a good balance to the pieces. I think that I prefer the second more, just because the red is a little too distracting.

  3. This looks like a map for a video game, very interesting. I like how you chose to incorporate all the tomatoes!

  4. I like the first more, because the red pops up on the green background. Although, I think if you repeated red one more time in the lower part of the design, it would look more balanced.
