Exercise: Visual play

I like how just chaotic juxtaposition, in the beginning, led to the clean design when I played with the cuts in the exercise Visual grunge. The design is more attractive than the design where I tried to express what kind of design I like. I think the experimental approach would help me to produce several pieces which show me an ideal result. No doubt.

Overall, I always have a bad feeling in the beginning process when the canvas is empty. The helplessness in these first execices was the big problem for me to overcome. I really did not know how to go through it.

The next problem was to take the right colours. Even I use the colour wheel still I am not sure the colours fit together.

I decided to rework the beginning exercise Areas of practices.

Here is the original picture. Really I did this? :-)

I used the shapes from exercise Visual grunge. I liked the circles and fitted them in my best opinion they could work in this piece. But, somehow the text was disturbing, so I put it away.

I played with shape and their position.

Now, is it was time to change the colours. I used the Adobe CC library and chose the first I liked. The colour palette was nice for the first glance but the result in the piece was not I expected.

So, I choose another one and it turned out it is more captivated. I was satisfied.

Anyway, there was something missing. I wanted to use black colour and add a shape.

This shape fits better than the previous :-).

I added the text. It really looks enhanced.

And final touch. I must say it really looks better than the original piece.

This exercise showed me that playing with shapes completely changed the design. What looked like a boring design (I can say awful), in the beginning, the original one, showed as a "mature" design at the end. 

Still, I am not sure about the use of colour and its combinations.
