In the Tool Box



Outside the Box

As a designer it is important to find things outside of yourself, to collect more references when creating the next design. It could be anything from nature to buildings to people or even the art tool box sitting right next to you.
For this particular oil pastel drawing the artist first came up with the overall idea of what is going to go on the paper, for example: color choice, composition, which objects to use, etc. The color choice the artist chose was purple with a complimentary yellow to balance out the colors. The objects are different sizes, never the same size with another object. All the different tools in the drawing flows well with one another. The complimentary colors were used at a 8 to 2 ratio (Purple to Yellow).

Many little things can spark a designer's imagination to think outside of him/herself. Not every designer may agree to the above statement, there is ALWAYS an argument against everything, but I must say this, "without inspirations there will be no design."
