Here are the two different shots of my replication of one of the monochromatic palettes from the previous post using subtractive coloring.

Silhouette Collage Final

Artist Research: Mark Bradford

The most striking feature in Mark Bradford's collage works is the tight formation of found materials which becomes a type of mosaic as a whole. Sharp, geometric shapes cover the majority of canvases, consisting mostly of rectangular objects held in a pattern resembling a top view of the city or an urban map. The large canvas size of Bradford's works provide immense congregation of collage materials forming larger shapes as a whole and create a sense of layering as the image is viewed from different distances and perspectives.

Many of Bradford's work make strong use of low-key values, featuring either black or white as dominant negative space colors. More contrasting colors such as blue vs red in “Window Shopper” are added in to provide variety and placed next to opposing colors to create balance.

The collection of merchant posters provide different aspect of Bradford's works, involving a pattern of large, bold text laid on top of high-contrast backdrop and putting them all together to create a wall of text with huge variety in font, size, and bright background colors.

The plot thickens: More random album designs!

 This cover was from Sean W. as part of album design peer edit.

 Here is my second revision of the album design, adding white spots at the bottom to emulate camera flash and also give the bottom title much suitable background to work into.

The final design. The only difference is that I further adjusted the top title with a hazier copy to emulate thought.

Here's my edit of Sean W.'s album cover.

Random Album Design Round 01

 Here is the first design output. Please note that the red border is bleed area, meaning it will not be the part of final product.

Here is the image used for the album, resized for viewing pleasure.
