Color Schemes

The color schemes I chose to focus on were Analogous, Monochromatic, and Complementary. The former project I altered was of a commercial office space.

Sketch Series 3 [Grocery Store]















Fluorescent
lighting creating an ambient glow can been seen in this grocery store setting. This particular bulb created the colors within the fabric to look very dull and subdued, compared to the other light sources.

Sketch Series 3 [Retail]















Fluorescent lighting was used within the retail setting. This particular bulb brought out more of the warmer colors in the fabric. Creating a contrast between cool and warm colors in each fabric swatch.

Sketch Series 3 [Library]














Fluorescent lighting was within the library space. This particular fluorescent bulb brought our the purples and blues in the fabric swatches.


Sketch Series 3 [Residence]















An incandescent bulb directly lit the fabric swatches in my apartment. This light source brought our the bright yellow colors in each fabric.

Daylight Model


Our group chose to place our space on the 'My Sisters' House' site in Eastside park.
The front area of the box is a community area. Each layer leads your eye back to an intimate area.
Alot of light is entering in to the community area and is more subdued in the intimate space.
The amount of light within this space changes throughout the day due to the strategic location of the windows.

Sketch Series 2 [Resturant]















A few different types of lights are used such as track lighting, recess, and direct lighting. Track lighting is used to highlight sales areas, such as the cafe and bakery menus. Recess lights are used to brighten pathways and direct people through this space. Direct lighting is used in the seating areas. Creating a subtle glow over each table.
Each type of light contrasts in brightness. This creates a gradient from bright to dim within this space.
I feel the lighting used in Panera is very successful.
