Color Psychology

Brown: The inside of the bottle is see through the table witch is brown. I thought it as (inside the bottle) that its with holding emotions and having them bottled up.

Green:The background is mostly a greenish color, of the walls of Noodles and Co. It makes the place have a calm, relaxing feeling to the place and makes it easier to eat at.
Red: Most people look at the color red as a bad thing, but when I took this picture it made think of love more then anger, and pink is the "thought of love" over red. And that's what I think a candle would represent.
Yellow: I played around in Photoshop to make the two flowers stand out more then the background to get the more calm feeling, though when looking at the picture it kind of makes you look more towards the background because yellow isn't that pleasing to the eyes.

Color on the Couch

Red: The most emotionally intense color, associated with anger and bad thoughts, also faster heartbeats and breathing. Pink is associated with thoughts of calm, protection, warmth and nurture; to slow down irritation and aggression. Also has the feeling of love, while red is connected with sexuality. Also the most caught by the eye.

Orange: Mostly positive effects, reduces self pity, lack of self work and unwillingness to forgive. Terrific antidepressant.

Yellow: Happy, cheerful and uplifting color. Associated with discernment, memory, clear thinking, decision-making and good judgment. Building self-confidence and encourages optimism. Where as a dull yellow can bring the feelings of fear. Also can be considered an optimistic color, people lose their tempers more in yellow rooms and babies will cry more. Most difficult color on the eyes can be overpowering if overused and can also speed up metabolism.

Green: Feelings of comfort, laziness, relaxation, calmness, helps with balance and soothing emotions. Connects us with nature and the natural feelings. The easiest color on the eyes and can improve vision. When darker or grayer have opposite effects. Was once worn by brides to symbolize fertility, where dark green is masculine, conservative, and implies wealth.

Blue: Night, feelings of relaxation and calmness. Light blues feel away from the day and can be helpful in getting rid of insomnia. Helps with mental control, clarity and creativity.

Violet; bringing peace and combating shock and fear, with a cleansing effect with emotional disturbances. Relating to sensitivity to beauty, high ideals and creativity, spirituality, and compassion.

Brown: Earth, feelings of stability and security. Sometimes can be associated with withholding emotion and wanted to get away from the world. Light brown implies genuineness, can also be sad and wishful. Men are more adaptable to say it’s their favorite color.

Black: Comforting and protective, mysterious and connected with silence and death, passive and prevents us from growing and changing. Authority and power. Popular in fashion it makes people appear thinner. Implies submission or the look of “evil”

White: Purity, innocence, feelings of peace and comfort while it dispels shock and despair, freedom and uncluttered openness. Too much; cold and isolation. Summer color, light, neutral and goes with everything. Also implies sterility.

Repulsive Images

Both of these images are considered to be repulsive. The first one is of my dog. I didn't try to take a repulsive picture of my dog, but the way it ended up being I think is pretty repulsive. But when you actually look at it, its quite attractive. It uses the rule of thirds, or at least I tried to use them with the Dog off to the side makes it looks cool. Then the second one is of my garage. Anyone would say this a repulsive image, just because it looks pretty bad. But almost like the dog picture, if you look at it in a different way it could almost be attractive. The better one would have to be the dog.

Attractive Images

These would be my attractive images because not many people think of fans and lights to be pretty, but the way the fan was on and the way I took the picture actually made it look good. Then there's the part of the tree, that with the color balance made it look good and had the closer part more clear and the further part less clear.

This Montage is full of fruit, only because I have been working at Pick N' Save for over a year and I pass the fruit section everyday. I also love fruit! Also fruit always look good together no matter what you do to them. They are also very easy to take a picture of and have it look good no matter what you do. It is very hard to take a picture of fruit and not have it look good. My second montage is about Love. What I think Love stands for and what all stands for Love. Its mostly flowers because that's usually what gifts are from the significant other and they represent love no matter where you go. The candle in the background mostly represents the romantic part of love. There is also the rings that most people get when they get engaged or married, witch is also a symbol of love. I would have to say my Love Montage would be my favorite by far! I love how it turned out.

Montages

I choose the images in my Nature Montage, that i photographed, because I thought they would look good together. There's a lot of different browns and reds that make my dog's head fits in perfectly. With the brown and black and white on the dog, those colors make the red in the plant and even kind of the pine cone and also the stick that is by the dog's head, stick out even more. They all have the "nature" feel with either being outside or a plant that make it look good. The Musical montage includes many different types of Musical instruments that all look good together. It also includes my boyfriend who plays bass in his band. The lyrics that are on top are from Bullet For My Valentine, Hearts Burst Into Fire, they have a pretty big meaning to both me and Tony. Along with the candle, it has a bigger meaning to both of us then just a candle. They also look very good together but I wish the Microphone wasn't in the picture. It would have made the picture of Tony look a lot better. So in a way my Music Montage could also be considered a love type montage just because Tony and the lyrics and the candle make it that way.
