What was it like working with flat colors? Surprisingly, it was like something else that is fairly easy. The only difference between the use of these flats and continuous tones was a bit of a challenge effectively mixing colors. How I chose which colors to use in the end? Well, simply put I chose what I thought looked nice. Naturally there were situations where some color combinations looked better than others. Some represented euphoric feelings, and others pointed more towards an infant’s vomit.
As for the shapes, well I could explain how I came up with each and every one of them, but the fact is that I just did what came to me on the spot. My personal favorite out of this project is the idea bulb- so simplistic, yet clever and overall humorous. As for the project that consumed the most time, well that would be the anagram for an old jam band I had back in high school. We called ourselves “When Time Fails.” Naturally when reflecting upon my old days as a serious metal-head, I thought I’d come up with a logo that was at least equally as well…metal!
The dandelion picture is actually something I enjoyed making. I love it when I come up with mixtures of elements that would not click in everyone else’s head. I imagine playing a game of cards and playing with dandelions, ripping them out of the ground and destroying them, until I came across one with a spade as the bud. That is one flower I could not destroy.
