Overview
The collection of images are photographs of my final project I made in Color Theory which was a book I created myself. In the book, descriptions demonstrate all that was learned in the class while providing a good basis of information about color theory for review or for those unfamiliar with the basics.
I used a "background" theme of paint dripping like that of Jackson Pollock's, however, I used simple primary colors and kept it very "open" as to not distract from the actual work that is shown in the book. The book holds all of my projects for this class.
The book's dimensions are 10" tall by 15" wide by 1" thick.
