swatchy schemey

Overview:

In the Spirit of halloween just passing I decided to use this spooky picture. It has a lot of different shades of colors in it but the most that stand out to me is black, red, and whiteish yellow. 

Task #1:  Photograph 

I recreated the colors from my photo into color swatches using the program Adobe Indesign. This is the photo that I got inspiration from for the colors for my swatches. 

Task #2: Swatches

For the swatches I opened up Indesign and made 9 equal size boxes then took the three colors I noticed most in the original photo and took the darkest and lightest of each color, and also added in an middle ground of the colors. Now looking at it though I do with I did yellow at the top and the red then black just to make it go from lightest to darkest. 

           

Task #3: Nameplate

When created my nameplates I made three equal rectangles by making one then copy and pasting for the other two to make sure they were equal. Then I made my name one of the other colors from my swatches and the description of who I am below, in the other Color that i did not choose before for the name. I then repeated these steps for the other two name plates.  

Conclusion:

I thought this assignment was very fun to work with and it working in the program adobe Indesign it made it very easy to do these swatches and name plates. I think this assignment has helped me improve with my Indesign skills and will help me later in life when I have to use the name plate for linkedIn or other professional things.
