Color and Emphasis

In this activity I tried to simulate one of the activities in the book. The book had a row of paper clips. One of the paperclip was a different color. The book said that color was a good tool for making one thing stand out. In the book the paperclip that was colored stood out. I tried to replicate this with the flowers. I had 5 flowers. For of them were the same. The other one I put into Photoshop and changed some of the colors so it looked different. I added red outlines along the edges of the peddles and made the tips of the pedals red. The other flowers were all white so this made a big contrast from the flower that I changed and the original flower.

 

 

I started with the picture on the top and made everything black and white except for the blue car. Since blue is a dark color it did not stand out very well. I tried to redo the assignment with another picture.

 

I chose a picture with a lime green car in the center of the picture because I thought it would stand out. Even though this did not follow the golden rule it achieved what I wanted it to. I did not want the picture to look super awesome I wanted the green car to stand out.  The care is right in the middle and it is lime green and I set the rest of the picture to black and white. I think this achieved the purpose because the car is the first thin you notice in the picture.
