Color Manipulation+Emotion: Confused/ Air Superiority Blue

Class: Design 1

Tool: Adobe Illustrator / Photomosh.com

For this assignment I was instructed to create a series of 10 designs only using abstract shapes which would highlight emotional expression with shape and color.

I chose the word Confused, and the color Air Superiority Blue. I connected with the word confused as to feeling confused in everyday life. My first thought was driving and direction. I drive everyday, and there are moments where too much is going on and I will have moments of confusion. In that confusion I may take a different direction get momentarily lost but eventually find my way back through connecting roads. I felt like this color would be a perfect fit because feeling confused can be dull and dark. And for my design I used the blend tool to create a series of lines which would represent the roads and wanted to create something that would be almost hypnotizing. I then used the mesh tool to move the lines in varies directions and created the abstract shapes you see.
