Color Project: Exhaustion


The emotion that I picked was exhaustion. The colors I used were on the muted side. Dark and somewhat moody: maroon, red, navy, gray and some black. The transparancy over the blocks of color are two shades of gray. As for the collective shape formed, I wanted to create a looming sense of fatigue. Thus, the blocks descend, falling at a a steep angle as they near the bottom and disperse.

  1. I really like how you positioned the blocks in greater numbers and close together at the top and then fewer and further apart as they fall to the bottom. It represents the loss of energy very well as do the colors.

  2. I love how you desaturated the color as the blocks moved toward the bottom. The composition as a whole allows your eye to move and acknowledge the color contrast and notice the use of space.
