Blue

Blue was a latecomer among colors used in art and decoration. Reds, blacks, browns, and ochres are found in cave paintings from the Upper Paleolithic period, but not blue. Blue was also not used for dyeing fabric until long after red, ochre, pink and purple. This is probably due to the perennial difficulty of making good blue dyes and pigments. The earliest known blue dyes were made from plants - woad in Europe, indigo in Asia and Africa, while blue pigments were made from minerals, usually either lapis lazuli or azurite.

I chose this leaf because of the nice edging it has on it as well as the unique shading that the sun created on the leaf.

I foud this logo design driving along the highway one day so I looked it up on the internet. It has an excellent representation of the meaning of recycle with the pictures of the environment embedded within the logo.

This logo design from the Dasani water tent had an excellent display of design with the colors and symbols, in particular the water droplet that is substitued for the "o" in "drops"

The above image represents focal point by stressing isolation on the black hole in the center.

This picture represents focal point by stressing contrast and and placement, along with the same isolation techniques represented above. This time, the isolation is represented on the lone rain drop towards the left of the screen.

I think this is a very creative poster design simply because of the nice aspects it institutes. For example, the bursting light bulb add a nice design touch to accent the "spark" name on the poster.

Above is an example of a loose grid taken on the campus map across the street from MEP.

The picture above is Groover Hall that can be seen as an example of a tight grid through the representation of the windows and circle designs all in a specific line.

The above picture represents repetition of form through the several pillars that are lined up and the shadows that are cast from them.
