FCP - Colour Story Project

"Sharp Industies"

So this post is rather late, opps - sorry guys!! I've been so busy with uni work and other bazaar things, but I promise I'll make more of an appearance leading up to these busy Christmas weeks. So over the past few weeks on my FCP course, we have been discussing colour palettes/stories and the level of importance they have to individual companies. For example, a basic colour theory knowledge is vital to any company involved in the 'design industry' as it is a key element of many vital tasks; such as buying, merchandising, selling, presenting and styling etc.;so obviously because I am aspiring to be in the 'design industry' I needed to research further into what exactly colour theory is because I had noooo clue!

TASK.
So the plan was that we would get split into groups of 3-4 and decide what colour palette we were going to analyse further (if you haven't guessed, we chose Grey Neutrals!) and then we went off and did our initial primary research to inspire us - I did most of mine on Pinterest <3

After doing are own individual primary research, we all then came together as a team and shared our findings to pin point what narrative we wanted to capture in our 'colour story'. We came up with these words that we wanted to convey in our story...

Experimenting was by far the toughest part of the whole project in my opinion. We all gathered lots of materials and just made a load of mess for hours at a time; it all reminded me of being in Nursery if I'm honest, until it just got super frustrating when we couldn't think of anything to do!!

After this never-ending experimenting, we came to the conclusion that we needed to stop looking for an end result before we even had one and focus on just capturing our chosen narrative for our colour story. In the end, our end image came to us and the finishing touches was all it needed! *See first image on this post for the final outcome*

Hope this interests some of you guys aha, well done if you read all of this!!
Much love,
