Colour Schemes – Celia

The next part of the project I tackled was the colour schemes.

Now that I had chosen the four habitats, I went on to decide how the cards would be set out so that it was easy to distinguish which animal (card) was from each habitat. I decided that the best way to separate the habitat cards would be to follow a different colour scheme for each habitats set of cards.

I used Adobe Color CC to chose the colour schemes. Adobe Color works by taking an image chosen by you and pulling the colours out of it to create a set of colours that link to the image.

The first colour scheme I developed was the Tropical Grasslands.

The image I used for this colour scheme was:

I chose this image because it included a variety of colours and scenes you would find in the habitat.

The colour scheme I created using this image was:

I liked this colour scheme because it touched on one colour from every picture and I think sums up the grasslands well.

The next colour scheme I developed was the Open Ocean.

The image I used was:

I chose this image because it has all the colours of sea including the sky and a beach. I also chose a dolphin as one of the top trump card animals so thought it fitted in well with the habitat and game.

The colour scheme I created was:

This colour scheme mainly consisted of different shades of blue such as turquoise and teal.

The next colour scheme I created was for the Desert.

The image I used for this colour scheme was:

The colour scheme that was created was:

This colour scheme was consistent of orange and yellow tones, as well as browns from the animals and grey blues from the sky.

The next colour scheme I went on to create was for the Polar regions habitat.

The image I used for this colour scheme was:

I chose this image because it had a selection of different animals found in the polar regions therefore touched on all the different colors you would find rather than just white for the snow!

I liked this colour scheme because it touched on all the colors found in the polar regions ranging from the animals to the landscape. My  favourite tone that was picked up on this colour scheme is the light grey that was found on the polar bear – I also liked the blue picked up on the whale.
