Colour Block









Colours are based on peoples experiences and feelings. We all see colours in different ways. For example my friend Jules sees

Orange as:
"This orange color gives me a warm and fuzzy sentiment."

Magenta as:
"It reminds me of a heroism and sacrifice."

Yellow as:
"I feel dizzy with excited when I look at this photo."

Blue as:
"This color evokes a sense of freedom and independence. It gives me a feeling that I can do anything or be anyone I want."

Complimentary Colour (Red/Green) as:
"Reminds me of my childhood because these are Christmas colors. It also reminds me of how I’m broke at the end of the year."

Similarity Colour (Blue/Yellow) as:
"It reminds me of spring because yellow represents growth and blue represents time."

It's interesting to see how different my friend's perspective on the following photos as apposed to mine. For example Jules sees the colour orange as a warm emotion but I saw it as a refreshing feeling.
