Colour

During the practice unit I spent a lot of time choosing my colour palette from a selection of graffiti images. I chose these sources because the colours were bright, bold and fun and therefore appropriate to my theme. Due to the unit being shorter, I don't have as much time to experiment with colour, however I understand I want a colour palette with a natural vibe to reflect my theme of Nature Vs Machine.
I decided to experiment with colour by dying fabric with vegetables and plants; onion, red cabbage and dandelion leaves gave the best colour, whilst beetroot was surprisingly temperamental due to it not taking to the fabric.
I found that the colour translated was very tonal, which is something I thought my colour palette during the practice unit was lacking.
I scanned the samples into Photoshop, where I used the colour pick tool to select the colour, creating my colour palette.
