Assignment 2: Color Exercise

In this exercise, you will be exploring the illusion of transparency. Starting with a horizontal bar of one color, you will place 3 vertical bars of another color so that they overlap the horizontal bar. All three vertical bars should be of the same color. Where these vertical bars overlap the horizontal bar, the illusion of transparency should be created. In first overlapping area, it should appear as if the vertical bar is spatially above the horizontal bar. In last overlapping area, it should appear as if the horizontal bar is spatially above the vertical bar. And in the middle overlapping area, it should be ambiguous as to which bar is on top. You should use a format similar to the one shown here in the example.

Assignment 3: Color Project

Using only rectangles of different sizes, create 3 separate designs of your liking. One design should use color to create an illusion of transparency. One design should use color to create a strong illusion of depth and one design should use color to create the effect of visual vibration. Be creative with your designs and consider the overall design quality in addition to your use of color. Think long-term about using this project in your final program portfolio.
