Covers:

I was inspired in several ways by these covers. In the first cover, I was inspired by the simplicity as well as the contrast between the black and white photo and the red background. In the third photo, I was inspired by the contrast in font colors. The last three cover designs are all pretty abstract which was also really inspiring. I especially liked numbers 2 and 4.

In areas where the gum was very dry and hard, the paint will leave a lighter mark while areas with little to no gum allowed the paint to reach the print. The print is then soaked in water and some of the gum is cleaned off, exposing areas of the print underneath. Paint oils are applied...

Final Color Grids and Photos

Here are the pictures I chose as well as the grids I created. Grids: My first grid is a 3x3 using a picture of some yellow flowers which I thought contrasted really nicely with the dark gray ground. My second grid (4x4) is a picture of carrots. Complement Cool colors Monochromatic Warm colors Mood
