Color Police

Color Police 

"The Good, Bad, & Ugly of Design" 

Cat Tin

This tin has a terrible color pallette. It tries to use the contrasting hues of red and green, but the fat grey cat as well as other bright colors make it all the more confusing. The eye focuses in on the cat and then drops down to the horrific stripes of red and green. It causes the eye to get lost and not find a place to rest. Although I love this piece, because of its ugly appearance, it uses color for all the wrong reasons. 

ParaNorman Poster 

Although this poster has a lot going on, it also really targets its audience. The film is family oriented and is meant to be slightly scary. It uses the hue dominance of green to portray this reasoning. Also, the large amount of action in the ad gets children's attentions. All in all, for its target audience I feel this poster really utilizes color to get their message across.
