LECTURES


WEEK 6- POSTER DESIGN

Principles of poster design

  • Emphasis
  • Balance and alignment
  • Contrast- creates space and difference between elements in design
  • Repetition- unifies and strengthens a design
  • Proportion- visual size and weight of elements in a composition and how they relate to each other
  • Movement- controlling the elements so that the eye is led to move from one to the next
  • White Space- to give a composition more room to breathe

To turn B&W photo into COLOUR photo by following the tutorial slides and video.


Fig W6.1 B&W image, Week 6 (31/10/2023)

Firstly, I coloured the skin the colour and hair as they were the larger parts of the image. Then, applied overlay to give a more natural blend over the skin.

I continued by applying colours on the features of the face such as eyes, eyebrows and lips by repeating the steps.

Fig W6.3 process, Week 6 (31/10/2023)

Since I think that the skin colour was too yellowish, I applied another layer and coloured with purple to make the skin tone more natural and better. 

Fig W6.4 process, Week 6 (31/10/2023)


Lastly, the background colour was applied after the human recoloring was completed.

By using the eyedropper tool, I picked the color of the skin, hair and shirt from the reference image and coloured at the blank space of the B&W image. 

Fig W6.9 process, Week 6 (08/11/2023)

Same as the first part, I coloured the main objects first and following the face features. In this exercise, I chose to not colour the background because I prefer a greater cleanliness outcome.

To start, I used the Color Shades Finder tool to refine the color palette. One of the issues with the Watsons app is its lack of a consistent color theme. While the current colors somewhat represent the brand and make the app recognizable, they can also feel overly distracting. For the high-fidelity prototype, I focused on creating a more cohesive and simple color theme. In the existing app, green, blue, pink, and various gradients are frequently used. For this redesign, I chose colors...
