I first took photos of the insides and outsides of buildings. I chose to use a photo of a building I walked by on Delancey and Orchard street pictured below.
Next, I made a color wheel to practice creating a color palette and blending colors.
I then made an iteration of my original photo in a grayscale. I Live Traced the image to control the colors within the photo. The product resembles a dark and rainy day.
Next, I made an iteration resembling a sunset by blending purple, pink, and orange and using Live Trace to insert the new color scheme. I chose these colors because sunsets at home (Texas) typically look like this.
Lastly, I made a less realistic version representing a surreal and intense morning. I used Live Trace to insert various shades of blue that I had blended to do so. I kept the color scheme monochromatic to add dramatization.
