A 'crackled' filter applied to the lime green arrows gives great allusion of texture, almost as if I could feel the roughness or coarseness of the surface. Underneath the green arrows are shadows, used to make them seem as if they were levetating above a second surface. shadows are applied to the text on the page to also give the allusion of floating and three dimensions. The pink-ish arrows in the background add great contrast to the rest of the peice and help create almost a playful mood.
The first thing that stands out to me is the green arrows due to their bright complexion. The purple and green go well together, yet the yellow doesn't tend to stand out due to it being a bright color on top of a bright color. Overall, color is used quite well in this composition and is used to reenforce the topic of “green”.
Q5:
This composition works well as a retro and somewhat stylistically humorous t-shirt, although I would prefer a more centrally balanced graphic, as the allocation of the text constrains the image to a square, which would come across poorly in print graphic. Also, to print this as a t-shirt the file would need to be altered fairly extensively to effectively translate the graphic into a print media, whether POD inkjet or halftone screenprint. For example, the texture, although effective in theme is impractical, though not impossible, for print media. Chiefly the faded drop shadows and the charcoal background would be ineffective in print. A halftone would need be used where fading is expressed and too many layers of print would be needed than would be practically effective.
2. The use of texture helps to distinguish the different patters in the design or the two different recycling symbols. Texture also helps to provide much detail on the green recycling symbol. This detail helps to show the shallow space the symbol resides in to the viewer. The the lighter detail in the background helps to provide a deeper sense of space with less detail as well.
This project has a definite message. The relationship is over. There is texture in the background and on the arrows. The values are present with the different hues and saturation of green, magenta, and black. This is a very imaginative piece.
