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.


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.
ReplyDeleteI really like the repetition of your patterns and use of the color green. You used the image trace tool very well. Good job!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a map for a video game, very interesting. I like how you chose to incorporate all the tomatoes!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI prefer the first image, i like the pop of red giving us a new color to see.
ReplyDeletegood choice and use of the red and green color pallet.
ReplyDeleteGreat movement and color choices. I like all the different elements you used to fill with patterns. The monochromatic scheme worked well. Good job.
ReplyDeleteYou have a very unique style of work, every project turned in I always know is yours at fist look. They are fun and technical in a simple sense. Over all good job again.
