Primary. Secondary & Analogous: Part Deux




In this series, I created another geometric pattern, but with with rectangles. With the primary colours, I started with the ticker rectangle being blue since its quite darker then the other 2, I though it would work as a bold contrast and create a strong pattern. Though, I found it looked a bit too conservative and dark. The red somewhat acts as a nice contrast and really pops.

The Strokes

The Strokes' latest album cover has some nice colour combinations, along with interesting play of shapes that'll keep you starring.

Primary, Complementary, Analogous, Triad Colour Combos

I did a few versions of these 4 colour combinations. I like working with triangles because their a bit odd in shape, and they create a lot of movement. Out of all 4 of these, I think I like the triad the best- those are colour I think work nicely together. Analogous colours also normally work well together, though this version below (the yellow & green one) is super bright. Maybe it's because of all the sun we've been having this weekend. Hello Spring!

It cracks



A friend of mine from school has started to follow a new mantra to create something new everyday. I though I'd give it go. It's just like they say: Practice makes perfect.

It's been a bit of an intense couple of months- so much to learn, so much to do, so much get done. I might be crackin'. Or rather, I better get crackin'!

Summah summah time

I had quite a busy year and so I only developped these images quite some time after they were taken, be summer of 2010 in Montreal. Looking at these on a grey Sunday in England makes me anxious for summah time.

All taken on my 1960s Kodak brownie on 120 film. The Brownie is normally set for 620 film, however since it's extinct 120 works just fine- except when the spool knob gets jammed causing the images to superimpose. Decided to use this to my advantage.
