Blog assignment 1: Hero

Lady Aqua

Color:

This super hero lives underwater, but can come up and live on land whenever she is needed by society. Her main hue is blue, so she can blend in with her surroundings, but she can change her value and saturation when she is on land to blend in more or camouflage herself. The image moves from saturated to desaturated right to left, the left side has a higher addition of white than the right side. Contrary to that, the right side has a darker value, the blue on this side is a lot darker than the left side. This image represents a monochromatic color scheme.

Light:

The lighting in this image makes one focus on the hero. With the light shinning down, it represents ‘goodness’ like the heavens are shinning down on Lady Aqua. The background is in the shadows to be hidden, and to not take any attention away from the hero. The color of lighting in this image would be yellow and blue. The blue representing a diffused light, while the yellow represents a harder light. The beam of yellow light shining down on her has high intensity, while the background light is diffused. The light is moving in a vertical direction.

Shape:

Lady Aqua over all has the shape and most of her body movement coincide with the shape of a triangle. This shape represents good, forcing your attention upward, towards the ‘gods’ and ‘heavens’. The lighting makes you focus on the outsides of the object (body) and if it would be in movement or not. The bottom of this object is made of strong stone, which represents the bottom half of Lady Aqua’s shape, her legs and feet. Both are ready for action and to save the day.
