Lesson #2 - Mix & Match

Mix & Match - Color & Shape.

In this lesson you will be given 10 color types. It is your job to mix the color and create a simple shape that relates or describes that color.

Tips:

Try to keep the shapes no bigger than the size of your hand.

Size should relate to the meaning of the color.

No soft or blurry edges this time, keep the shape hard-edged.

Every shape/color has a personality.

Make the shapes as non-representational as possible.

I. Create a shape that matches each color.

II. Explain why each shape is 'perfect' for the color.

The ingredients:

1. light bluish purple

2. medium saturated purplish red

3. muted medium light brownish green

4. saturated medium green

5. medium dark grayish blue

6. medium light saturated purplish blue

7. medium light saturated yellow orange

8. medium light saturated greenish yellow

9. medium dark reddish brown

10. medium pure gray

Now that you have your colors, get mixing! Chop Chop!

I've been cooking up some designs for you to inspire you, here they are:

1. light bluish purple
2. medium saturated purplish red
3. muted medium light brownish green

4. saturated medium green

5. medium dark grayish blue

6. medium light saturated purplish blue

7. medium light saturated yellow orange

8. medium light saturated greenish yellow

9. medium dark reddish brown
10. medium pure gray

ok, so I already taste that somethings not quite right, just looking at my designs is helping me perfect my recipies. I'll get back in the kitchen and tweak a few things here and there. Maybe the HP Color Thesaurus could help me out.
