Color Me Famous

15 Minutes of Fame
Digital Design 1
Status: Completed

     This project gave us the time to learn about Andy Warhol, the Pop art designer mainly popular back in the fifties and sixtes.
     For the picture, i had to take the bust portion from my picture, and size it so that 4 of them will fit on a standard sheet of paper. The upper left image is a monochromatic color scheme, and since blue is my favorite color, I chose it. The upper right picture is a two color, scheme, and I was in a Christmas-y mood that day, so red and green were choosen, also Red and Green are complimentary colors. The lower left image is three colors that are all compliments of each other (originally I had three awesome colors that gave the image a spooky effect, but the project requirements forced me to change them). And finally the bottom right photo has a plethora of colors that, to me, gives it a heat gun look, but heat had nothing to do with the color placement.
    I love this picture, and am very happy with the way it turned out. I plan to make the picture my Facebook profile picture for a while. And who knows, I may go back and change it to give it a spooky effect for the Halloween season.
