COLOR
SCHEMES & FILE NAMES:
YLNI quadO- This is your ORIGINAL
quad. IT WILL NEVER BE COLORED. Once you have created and cleaned
up this quad, you will SAVE IT four more times using the file names
below!
YLNI quad 1 YOUR CHOICE of colors (must
conform to requirements!)
YLNI quad 2: Monochromatic color theme
YLNI quad 3: Complementary color theme
YLNI quad 4: “THEME” colors
or TEAM colors (pick a set of 3 to 4 colors)
FILE NAMES: Each file should be named properly, with your last name and initials, and the project name: Example: “jonesBJ quad1"
Basic Requirements:
1. Each Quad design must be in keeping with the correct color scheme or
theme.
2. Each Quad design should show evidence that the student used many different
colors, created original gradients, textures, and patterns. Note:
limit the number of patterns you use! The white areas must be colorized,
too.
3. All colors, gradients, patterns and textures MUST be symmetrical, and
employ mirror symmetry. (i.e., if one part of your design is red, it must
be the same in ALL four sections).
4. Within each quad, no two colors, patterns,
gradients or textures can be placed next to one another.
5. Alternate for best effect: Dark colors against light, bright colors
against dull, patterned colors against flat color, etc.
6. Use only ONE of the premade gradients. All others you must make!
7. Avoid using black! Use dark blue, purple, etc. If you use black you may have problems if you should need to remove a color from a space....it tends to take the lines, too!
