DIGITAL COLOR THEORY PROJECT OPTIONS FOR BLOG

1. Inventive Linear Grayscale
The inventive linear grayscale chart must include numbers: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 labeling, and sequential divisions of gray that conform to the Albert Munsell scale. (“0” being black and “10” being white) The scale may be presented either as a two or three-dimensional diagram. Be imaginative and explore!

2. Inventive Grayscale Design
The inventive grayscale design must include the numbers: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 within the actual design to designate where the respective values have been used, however the numbers and shapes of gray do not need to be arranged in a linear sequence. (“0” being black and “10” being white) The design must consist of only hardedge, graphic shapes, and may be either representational or non-representational.

3. Inventive Subtractive Color Wheel
The inventive color wheel must include all 12 colors on the traditional color wheel, along with the names of each color in the design itself, and labels for primary, secondary and tertiary (also called intermediate). For those who are already adept with Photoshop, their color wheel must also include tones, tints and shades for each color.

4. Inventive Additive Color Wheel
This color wheel must show the relationship of all six colors, and how the Red, Green, Blue overlap to create Cyan, Magenta and Yellow, with white in the middle. The chart must include labels that reference primary, secondary, and additive color.

5. Grayscale sphere
You are to create a sphere using 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 values. (“0” being black and “10” being white) Both the sphere and space that surrounds the sphere must contain value. The only area that may be #10 value (white) is the highlight on the form. The chart must include the numbers 0 through 10 to designate where the actual values have been used.

6. Grayscale Cone
You are to create a cone using 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 values. (“0” being black and “10” being white) Both the cone and space that surrounds the sphere must contain value. The only area that may be #10 value (white) is the highlight on the form. The chart must include the numbers 0 through 10 to designate where the actual values have been used.

7. Grayscale Cube
You are to create a cube using 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 values. (“0” being black and “10” being white) Both the cube and space that surrounds the sphere must contain value. The only area that may be #10 value (white) is the highlight on the form. The chart must include the numbers 0 through 10 to designate where the actual values have been used.

8. Grayscale Form Invention
You are to create a three-dimensional abstract configuration involving at least five different forms. All ten values on the Munsell linear scale must be used. Both the cube and space that surrounds the sphere must contain value. The only areas that may be #10 value (white) are the highlights on the forms. The chart must include the numbers 0 through 10 to designate where the actual values have been used. (“0” being black and “10” being white)

9. Inventive Color Value Chart
You are to create a two or three-dimensional “color-value” chart involving both the primary and secondary subtractive colors. The values of each of the six colors will be altered through adding varying degrees of white or black. The chart must include the numbers 1 through 9 to designate to what degree the value of each spot of color has been altered. (chart does not need to include black and white)

10.Inventive Tonal Chart
You are to create a two or three-dimensional “tonal” chart involving both the primary and secondary subtractive colors. The values of each of the six colors will be altered through adding varying degrees of gray (white plus black). The chart must include the numbers 1 through 9 to designate to what degree the value and chroma of each spot of color has been altered. The chart must also include the labels: high chroma, medium chroma and low chroma. (chart does not need to include black and white)

11. Inventive Complementary Banner Design for you Blog
You are two create a complementary color banner design for your blog involving both typography and images. The two chosen colors must exist within the design in at least five (5) different values.

12. Monochromatic Color Design
The monochromatic color design must include the numbers: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 within the actual design to designate where the respective values have been used, however the numbers and shapes of color do not need to be arranged in a linear sequence. The design must consist of only hardedge, graphic shapes, and may be either representational or non-representational.

13. Complementary Color Design
The complementary color design must include the numbers: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 within the actual design to designate where the respective values have been used for each color, however the numbers and shapes of color do not need to be arranged in a linear sequence. The design must include a variety of tints, tones, and shades of each color. The design also must consist of only hardedge, graphic shapes, and may be either representational or non-representational.

14. Analogous Color Design
The analogous color design must include the numbers: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 within the actual design to designate where the respective values have been used for each color, however the numbers and shapes of color do not need to be arranged in a linear sequence. The design must include a variety of tints, tones, and shades of each color. The design also must consist of only hardedge, graphic shapes, and may be either representational or non-representational.

15. Triadic Color Design
The triadic color design must include the numbers: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 within the actual design to designate where the respective values have been used for each color, however the numbers and shapes of color do not need to be arranged in a linear sequence. The design must include a variety of tints, tones, and shades of each color. The design also must consist of only hardedge, graphic shapes, and may be either representational or non-representational.

16. Tetrad Color Design
The tetrad color design must include the numbers: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 within the actual design to designate where the respective values have been used for each color, however the numbers and shapes of color do not need to be arranged in a linear sequence. The design must include a variety of tints, tones, and shades of each color. The design also must consist of only hardedge, graphic shapes, and may be either representational or non-representational.

17. Cool/Warm Color Harmony Design
The cool/warm color design must include the numbers: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 within the actual design to designate where the respective values have been used for each color, however the numbers and shapes of color do not need to be arranged in a linear sequence. The design must include a variety of tints, tones, and shades of each color. The design also must consist of only hardedge, graphic shapes, and may be either representational or non-representational.
