Experimenting with Colors

For the color experimentation, i began from taking inspiration from my mood board and the clrs around VCU. I practiced getting the exact color by learning the pantone color book. However later i realized that in order for the signs to communicate well in the environment it should build up contrast, so its visible, has a contextual language to it. First i was using 4 colors in one icon...pink, black gray, white. However later i understood, that its just gonno blend with all the colors around VCU. Thus i tried something more subtle yet that contrasts with the VCU colors; gray and black. And i felt that gray suited.

Colors for the Fruit and Vegetable Market

To find the right colors for my icons I went back to my mood board and picked out some of the colors that stood out the most and some of the colors that I felt would give the feel of the market. Here are some of those colors:
I then tried applying these colors to my icons and felt that this combonation of colors works best:The two colors used above came from my mood board I felt they went well against one another, for they carry a good contrast that keeps the icon clear to read.
The sample icon, above, shows an attempt of how the icon can be placed with the text on the the sign.

Color Scheme For AbuHammour

Color scheme The color scheme I chose was derived From the mood poster we did ,Grey from asphalt...etc,with the emphasis on the signs to be seen it's brightness so it's seen Execution:my first thought was apply my system to standard reflective metal signs. But after the critique in class,I am now leaning towards having a light box signs instead ,where they resemble the signs that fill the station.
