This chapter really showed me how much importance color has in creating a successful design or image. There were many different ways to make a interesting and visualy attractive image. I found it interesting how simply playing with the value of one color, one can create an image with much depth like Vision by Nicora Gangi. When you limitate yourself to just one color variable like this you can focus more on line, shape, and texture. Even with using a select few of these color variables, one can tell a story with out even using a narrative or words. Also the push-pull effect that was introduced is a very effective tool that i hope to use soon. This chapter was very helpful, especially if you are going in the feild of graphic design where color, or the lack there of, is possibly the most imprtant part of the image to get your point across. Now as well as thinking very conceptually or the idea behind the image, i will have to think as deep into the colors, hues, intensity, etc. of my image.
