Digital Photography and Imaging

Week 7 

LECTURE

In week7, we reviewed double exposure and learned something new about color theory. In particular, we focused on the color elements such as RGB(Red, Green and Blue) colors which are used to display on the computer screen and CMYK(Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black) colors which are the primary colors of printing and the elements that adjust color nuance such as Hue, shade, tint and tone.

COLOR THEORY

Color theory is both the science and art of using color. It explains how humans perceive color; and the messages colors communicate artistically and emotionally.

RGB: Additive color mixing model

Color is created by mixing red, green and blue light sources of various intensities.

TVs, screens and projectors use red, green and blue (RGB) as their primary colors.

CMYK: Subtractive color mixing model

Color is created by the subtraction of light. The CMYK color system is the color system used for printing.

HUE: Hue is the most basic of color terms and denotes an object’s color.

SHADE: Shade is a hue to which black has been added. For example, red + black = burgundy.

TINT: Tint is a hue to which white has been added. For example, red + white = pink.

TONE: Tone is a color to which black and white (or grey) have been added.

Then, we acquired knowledges of color Harmony(Monochromatic, Analogous, Complementary, Split-Complementary, Triadic) and The Psychology of Color.

COLOR HARMONY

The arrangement of the colors in design in the most attractive and effective way for users’ perception.

MONOCHROMATIC

Monochromatic is hard to make a mistake and create the distasteful color scheme.

ANALOGOUS

Analogous are 3 colors located right next to each other on the color wheel.

COMPLEMENTARY

Complementary colors are opposites on the color wheel.This scheme is opposite to analogous and monochromatic since it aims to produce high contrast. It makes imagery pop, but overusing them can get tiresome.

SPLIT-COMPLEMENTARY

Split-Complementary involves the use of three colors. Start with one color, find its complement and then use the two colors on either side of it.

TRAIADIC

Triadic colors are evenly spaced around the color wheel and tend to be very bright and dynamic. Using triadic color scheme creates visual contrast and harmony simultaneously.

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF COLOR

Colors have an extraordinary ability to provoke specific emotions for each individual and to attract people’s attention and harmony simultaneously.

• Warm colors: Warm colors often evoke feelings of happiness, optimism and energy. However, yellow, red and orange can also have an attention grabbing effect and signal danger or make you take action (think stop signs, hazard warnings and barrier tape).

• Cool colors: Cool colors are usually calming and soothing but can also express sadness. Purple is often used to help spark creativity as it’s a mixture of blue (calm) and red (intense).

• Black: Black is often used sparingly – such as for text – but it works quite well as a primary color element (like for backgrounds). Black adds an air of sophistication and elegance, and also mystery, though with much bolder confidence.

• White: As primary, white gives off an impression of clean, virtuous, healthy. White pairs well with just about anything, making it ideal as a secondary color.

4. Attach the Project 2A: Double Exposure - PART 2 (MY OWN DOUBLE EXPOSURE)

Progress

PART 1 (DOUBLE EXPOSURE FOLLOW TUTORIAL)

(Made mask)

(Added Curve adjustment layer)

(Added the forest image and made clipping mask)

(Added another forest photo and repositioned it)

(Added birds and clouds, and adjusted color)

PART 2  (MY OWN DOUBLE EXPOSURE)

(Added my portrait and mountain photos and blended)

(Added clouds and unified color)

(Recolored and adjusted tone)

Final Outcome

PART 1 (DOUBLE EXPOSURE FOLLOW TUTORIAL)

PART 2  (MY OWN DOUBLE EXPOSURE)

I composed my portrait and mountain, because both of the shape were similar and it seemed to work well together. Also, I added some cloud images and changed the color into gray, and it ended up being a mysterious atmosphere.
