1.1.2 Colour Development

During knitting I have found colour and texture to be a keen focus. I have thus made my next task to develop a colour pallet. From the photographs I have collected, which have become the foundation of my investigation, I have experimented with different colour ways. My group tutorial from the previous week helped me to find a focus to my work and therefore I have selected comparable images to aid my activity.

Monochrome Pallet 

This mono chrome pallet is the first colour way I produced, I chose these colours due to all the new architecture I found. Modern architecture suits my theme due to the heavy use of geometrics and bold colours. Although I found it to be impelling, I prefer to work in colours of a brighter nature. Thus I continued my investigation with colour.

Red Brick Pallet

My next trial was the 'Red Brick' pallet, this colour way was more exciting than the previous pallet. However I was still not happy with it as I felt the colours I chose were too natural and as my brief was 'Pattern in Architecture' I wanted my colours to reflect the artificial subject that I was researching. Also in this colour pallet I found the focus to be primarily on texture rather than pattern hence I continued my inquiry.

My Final Colour Pallet 

This is my final colour pallet and is by far my most successful. In this pallet I have combine both natural colours that are found in most architecture, such as stone cream and grey concrete and well as the artificial colours that are often found in cities being high vis yellow and signpost blue. After evaluating the images I have collected in relation to my theme I found that I need a rage of colours that would relate to both modern and tradition architectural patterns, I thus concluded with these colours that harvest both bold and subtle colours.
