Color 1

I created this composition by taking my original black and white project and adding color to the various elements. In this case, I worked with a theme of warm colors in mind.

I used a variety of reds, oranges and yellows to convey a warm, happy feeling throughout the image. I used brighter colors towards the top of the image, with the colors becoming slighter darker and more autumnal as they progress towards the bottom.

With the addition of color to the image, the variety of sizes in the geometric shapes, as well as the difference in stroke weight and transparency, keep the image dynamic and prevent it from looking repetitive. Each figure overlaps with one that isn't quite the same color, size or weight, which helps maintain a sense of movement throughout the composition.
