Self Elected Project: Communicating with Colour, Colour, Type, Emotion Experiments
The first image is a colour wheel of emotions, each colour on the wheel is an emotion in the colour I perceive it to be, the second image is to be seen with a red filter covering it, to reveal a word. I have used the reds and the emotions of anger and love contrastingly, the word revealed is in green and is the word 'positive' which is obvious with the red filter.

Self Elected Project: Communicating with Colour
Field Of Study:
I am fascinated with colour. I love how it surrounds us constantly and how there are so many different colours and shades of colours. I am interested in how colours make us feel and think and effect us, and what makes us choose our ‘favourite’ colour. I also like studying the use of colour by companies, advertising, artists, designers, fashion designers etc.
Focus:
I want to specifically look into semiotics of colour and its use as a communicator within society and even between animals and nature. I think it’s interesting how we automatically assume green is go and red is stop, what started this idea? And why?
Research Methods:
I want to carry out a lot of primary research by asking individuals about their thoughts on colour and gain whether it varies to the type of person they are, I also want to research with use of colour, by my first hand viewing and what my personal thoughts are. I want to research movements within art such as modernism and the Bauhaus and I also want to research artists such as Josef Albers, Yohannas Hitton, Barnett Newman, Paul Klee, and many more who all studied and focused a lot of their work on colour use. I want to read books and watch videos and documentaries, anything I can use to find out about colour.

Website Grabs Play2Create
This is a website I produced on flash to represent the narrative of the film Deja Vu. The website follows the film’s storyline of time travel, the user has the option of choosing to go backwards in the site and ‘solve the crime’ or not to, but they must find a way out in the end.
