I decided upon spicy mustard as my project. I created the above words using photo shop and translated them to my paper using graphite rubbing.
I mixed my colors going for hues just slightly away from base colors. I took the lemon yellow and added just a little dot of brilliant red. This created a pretty vivid orange. I then used the orange to mix back into the base colors. Leaving a dot of each hue I stopped when the new mixed colors where distinct from the originals. I'm not sure if the red was a big enough change from the original though.
My plan was to make the spicy have a flame like appearance which was hard using one color. Mustard was more successful I actually wrote out the word using ketchup on some wax paper and tried to make the paint glop on like the ketchup did.
I love they way you document your design process.
ReplyDeleteSpicy Mustard is Spicy Mustard. Mmmmm.
after the discussion that we had in class and getting a chance to look at the original font on your site I think that the text recreation is great. I think that the spicy font and creation is more successful in displaying "spicy". I think that your idea of mustard being spread across the canvas would have been more successful if there was more of a blur between the characters where as right now they are well defined. overall good stuff though
