About the final project for: Color Palettes for Vibrant Patterns

Color palettes for vibrant prints

“We have reached the end of the course. I hope I have inspired you to start seeing the world with a perspective where color comes to life in front of your eyes. Remember to stay tuned to continue creating your color palettes, starting from everything that makes you vibrate. Look for colors where you are most passionate about it. Keep in mind that you can apply your color palettes to any graphic creation you want; and the patterns that you create from those graphics can be applied to many products. I have used a collection of notebooks and notebooks, but keep in mind that there are many other options, so I encourage you to apply them to other things and surprise us with your creations in the forum. Before we say goodbye, we are going to review the key phases of the project. It would be great if you could show me a picture of each phase and add a short explanation about what you have done in each one. Inspiration and images The first step is to create a color-inspired bench. To find the colors I have used the intuitive technique to look for inspiration in the most unexpected places. Look for different worlds from which to extract color palettes, such as photos, books, everyday objects ...

Extraction of colors to create palettes Afterwards, I have made color palettes for my project. In Unit 3 I have explained how to do it both manually using an object as a reference and digitally with applications such as Adobe Capture.
Creation of patterns Next, I have applied the colors from my palettes to templates. From these templates I have created simple patterns. Remember that we have seen how to do it both manually with Adobe Capture and with Adobe Illustrator, in this case from simple drawings. If you have done your digital stamping in Illustrator, create versions by applying the color palettes and their variations.
Notebooks Afterwards, I have printed the different versions of my prints to personalize my notebooks and fill them with color.
Mock-ups Finally, I have used Photoshop to apply my patterns to mock-ups of different products.
Now share your final project with all of us by clicking on "Create your project". Remember to share both your patterns applied to objects and the entire creative process that you have carried out. I thank you very much for accompanying me in this course. I hope that it helps you, that it inspires you, that it gives you strength, encouragement and tools to start your own color project, so that through it you can connect with the world and with your environment through the infinite chromatic universe that lies behind. of every object that surrounds us. We will be in contact through the forum, where I will be very excited to see your work and that of all your colleagues. Dare to comment on the work of other colleagues who, like you, have done this course, We are all useful for constructive comments, if you have data that you think can help us, encourage and enrich the forum, much better! See you on the forum! ”
