GDS 108 Design Principles

This photo shows symbolic meaning with colors. Mostly by using blue, which goes well with this photo. This photo is used to stand for the hand of God and also shows protection. That goes well with blue because blue symbolizes protection and calmness.

Photo found from:  featherofme.com This photo shows color discord by mixing colors that would normally follow color theory but changing the brightness and saturation of them to make the colors clash. 

Found from: The Odyssey  This photo shows creativity with the color exploding out of the lightbulb. It shows the colors exploding like fireworks over a gray/brown background. This photo is titled Mother Nature by Jim Warren This photo is creative because it uses the woman's face as the water and the mountains. It is as if she makes up the nature aspect of the photo. 

Found from: Home Design; Monochromatic Color Photography  This photo is an example of monochromatic colors. It shows the base color as a red and using it to show different tints and tones.  Found From:Visual Design; Using Color in Photography  This photo is an example of complementary colors because it goes from a shades of blue to shades of orange. Blue and orange are complementary colors on the color wheel meaning they are straight across from each other on the color wheel.  

I found this photo from pg 21 in Print Regional Design Annual December 2014 edition. The piece itself is done by Roy Scott: theist.com/rscott I liked these photos for the color inspiration blog because they show both warm and cool colors. They also show lighter and darker versions of the colors. And different variations of mixed colors (secondary colors).

This image is from www.shutterstock.com I found it in Graphic Design USA November 2011 Issue I think this photo shows both negative and positive space very well. It goes from a lighter shade in the top right corner and becomes darker throughout the picture. But it also shows light in the spots that are shadowed by the dark.
