Colour choices



 For my Monochromatic pice, I made it in a sketchy style with a hand drawn title and other parts. I sketched a mountain range for the background from a part of Wales I was in and I added my handwritten title in.

For my triadic, I used purple, orange and green. I used the green for the main part of the mountains as that's realistic and added a strong contrast by shading the darker areas with an orange. The sky I made light purple and I think it works well as it keeps in the background allowing the mountains to come more to the front.

On the complimentary, I decided to go for a more obscure  colour on the mountains with a normal colour sky. The cover stands out and is bright but I feel that it wouldn't represent the book that well as it's too indicative of the desert.


This is the analogous colour scheme, I feel like it worked well. I used green based colours with a turquoise for the sky. The different shades of green allowed me to shade the mountains well making them look more 3D and stand out better than they otherwise would.
