Common Object, Uncommon Colors

Posted by

I am big into color changing, so I was excited when I came across another assignment that involved taking ordinary things and giving them different colors. I randomly came across this assignment, so I didn’t have any idea of what object I wanted to do. I am also having a lazy day, so I didn’t really want to move far. I then realized that I till had my sunglasses on top of my head from when I wore them to class. Perfect! So I went ahead and took my picture with my phone and uploaded it onto my computer. I have become quite fond of Pixlr and decided to use that website again. I started trying to crop the back ground out and try some effects, but none really looked that exciting and changed the colors. I then started playing with hue and saturation, but again it didn’t satisfy me. I came across a “wand” type tool that highlighted shadow areas. I had no idea what it was/what it did. So I left one spot highlighted and used a paint brush tool and figured out that when the wand tool highlighted a spot, the brush tool would only paint in that spot too! It was exactly what I wanted. So I played around with these tools, the shadowing, along with a variety of colors until I came up with the perfect mix of all three.
