Actually, I have no obvious idea for this picture.
My first idea for this was color arrangement around my photos. But after that something changed my mind to many other ways. Then I still used three colors for this design. And i still remember Maddy's talk in class about space, shape and contrast in class. So I finished it with this result ^^ :p.

Are we NOTHING or UNIQUE


As you can see "Are we NOTHING or UNIQUE".

In my opinion, I really thought about the faculty design we are studying and gonna work in the future.

I think that our pruduct is good or bad, that depends on so many value such as culture, religion and personal style.
So that I also think each person with their design is unique and there is its own value and beauty.

I also made it because of the thought about Maddy's talk in class about "contrast".

There is a lot of yellow thin sticks we can see clear in the purple dark background. However, they looked the same, while the small black dot in the middle of the picture, the red and the white lines; these colors do not make as big contrast as the yellow one; but it leads viewers to the text and think about the meaning of the picture.

Playing with color layer and my photo by PS

This is the color layer I created ^^
Hehe, this is my original photo ^^ :D ,
Then I put the color layer in front of the photo ^^




I decreased the opacity of some squares of color, then I used random some modes of photo image, mixed some effects and this is the result ^^ .

I really like blue color, so I use "color balance" to increase the level of blue color to have this below ^^.

My color!



It looks like that I cover the top part. But actually it's just effected by the level of color I put and the way I arrange 2 rows of color.


















This was my feelings at that time, so I chose these cold color.


It looks quite sad but it also looks peaceful for me. And somehow it gives me the feeling of warm. Because sometime I need a lonely time, so I think a room with these color makes me cooler ^^ .


Those are just my feeling, opinion.


Hope some of you guys having something in common with me ^^ .

Some emotions with colors

These colors make me think about a person who disbelieves in life. Maybe he met a problem, or got a pain in his soul in the past. He felt alone, no one caught him when he fell, and he had no one to share and take care of him. So he got a cold soul and these stuffs drove him crazy. He wanted to give up everything and run away. But he didn't do that. He wanted to change everything and go in his own road. He didn't need anybody. He wanted to do and achieve everything by his own, and he got it. But sometimes he thought that he missed something. Now people think that he's arrogant, and he doesn't care. But he needs a person who can understand and can be there for him. But he gets none.

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
That is my idea when I see those colors above. I think it's very difficult to explain clearly what I'm thinking. Maybe you will have different ideas, and you can tell me about it.
I appreciate when you give me some feedbacks

Colour for life

The Colour of life

These colors represent four elements: water, earth, fire and air. I think they are basic colors, simple but they look very natural and fabulous. Moreover, when these colors stand side by side they look perfect. Then, I try to make some icons with these colors. And my result is :
