Color Discord

I found this image to be particularly intriguing in the colors that are pictured here. The teal/orange/navy color scheme is the closest I related to color discord. I think this image still works because although the hues are different with each color, I can still appreciate the art because the saturation and brightness of each other color seems close enough to make the overall unity of this piece work. Taken by Cheyenne L. Rouse, this image can be found in Photographer's FORUM Fall 2013 edition on page 45.

Symbolic Colors

In my opinion, this generic image of the American Flag swaying on this barn symbolized so much more than just 4th of July. The imagery used here portrays the story behind the hard-working American with nothing but patriotism. Symbolically, red-white and blue are being used here to portray 4th of July without writing it out specifically. This image, too, can be located in the Photographer's FORUM from artist Cheyenne L. Rouse.

Color Harmony Rules

I found this image in Graphic Design USA. I can see and appreciate the monochromatic color scheme used, meaning that the same color is used, and the the hue will always remain the same. The blue is so subtle here that I think it really ties everything together well. This advertisement was found also in Graphic Design USA (pg 19). I saw this as a good example for analogous. I see the The violet blue and blue-violet used here to convey the same color family. This ad was found in Graphic Design USA (pg 99). This is an example of complementary colors used to make the font stand out against the background. The scanner did change the image coloring a bit but the background is generally blue whereas the font is an orangey shade of brown. This last image was found in American Photo on Campus (pg 6). This is my example of triadic color schemes used to harmonize the scene. In this photo, I see purple, green and orange along with the blue pants to really compliment these colors.
