WITH ALL OTHER ELEMENTS somewhat in place, this week was spent finalising the colour palette. Reflecting on the process, it was interesting to note that both palettes represented different propositions or paths that the final product could take. The former was more subtle and nuanced while the latter focused on the vibrancy that comes with contrasting the mute with the bright. From past experience, it appears that there is a marked preference for contrast and dynamic symmetry that is embedded in our contemporary aesthetic. While there is a place for that, I often like to explore the alternative which may seem less energetic but does not necessarily mean that it has less life.
PRESENTATION is, of course, important and I thought it would be interesting - not to mention slightly humorous - if I presented the colour chips as icons of Shinto priests.
Fin.
