Project 3-Color and Grids

For this project we went into downtown Portland and took pictures of colorful things. Then I edited them where color and pattern are the main focus and put them into grids.


This is a 6x6 grid, using complimentary colors. Originally the photo was  of two blue garbage cans and a red brick wall. I changed it so they were bright blue with an orange wall, and purple cans with a yellow wall.

This 4x4 grid also using complimentary colors. The picture is of a  plastic statue that was originally green. I rotated the photos to make it look like an LSD trip. 

This is 3x3 grid of photos I shot downtown. They all have the same editing job of a turquoise tint and a light grain.

This is a 5x5 grid of the same shot of potatoes. I edited each row a different color to give it a rainbow effect.


I really enjoyed working with complimentary colors so I created an extra  6x6 grid of photos with complimentary colors. This photo was originally red and blue.

For this I took the 6x6 grid above and copied it 36 times to make another 6x6 grid. I didn't want to make it complimentary colors so I used blue, light blue, and violet to make it a "cool" picture. I think it could be used as a fabric design. 
This is a picture of some leaves on the sidewalk, I made the reds and yellows a little brighter to make the picture warmer.

Color Wheel

This is  color wheel, the primary colors are red, blue and yellow. The secondary colors are orange, green, and purple.

This picture gives the viewer a warm peaceful feeling. You get this feeling because the photographer used warm colors such as red, yellow, and orange. Those colors give the effect of a "warm" picture.
