III. Color shift

<1> Characteristics and Types of Color Change

Color shift is a form of work in which colors are arranged and combined in an orderly manner according to certain rules. Types of hue change, lightness change, purity change, complementary change, comprehensive change, etc. It is characterized by a strong sense of brightness and glitter, a rich sense of modernity and decorative, and even an illusion of space.

1. Hue transition A color-changing form in which the colors are arranged and combined from cold to warm or from warm to cold in the order of the hue circle. In order to make the pictures colorful and orderly, colors can use a hue ring (like the earth's equator), and can also use a white or light gray hue ring (like the earth's northern hemisphere's weft), and can also be medium gray, dark gray, A black hue circle (like the latitude of the Earth's southern hemisphere).

2, the brightness of the passage of the color in accordance with the brightness of the order of the series, from shallow to deep or from dark to light to arrange, combination of a gradual form. Generally choose a single color series combination, but also can choose two color brightness series, but it should not choose too much, otherwise easy to mess, the effect is counterproductive.

3, the purity of the shift of the color according to the order of the series of equal-difference from fresh to gray or from gray to fresh arranged in a gradient form. Complementary transitions are in the form of a combination of purity of a pair of hue phases at a position where the hue circle passes through 180 degrees at the center of the circle.

4. Comprehensively change the hue, lightness and purity of the color to make a comprehensive arrangement and combination of gradient forms. Since the three elements of color are added at the same time, the effect is, of course, more complex and richer than that of the single item.

<b>Basic composition of color transition

Color shifting is a special form of work. Its composition and image organization also have corresponding characteristics and basic laws.

1. Parallel shifting arranges colors and arranges them in an orderly fashion at regular or irregular intervals along vertical, horizontal, diagonal, curved or irregular lines.

2. Emissions change

(1) Fixed-point radiation, also known as solar radiation, centrifugal radiation, the picture should determine one or more radiation points, and then the color around the incident point of equal angle or unequal angle arrangement, combination.

(2) Concentric radiation, also known as radio wave radiation, has one or more radiological centers on the screen. It uses colors from the radiological center as concentric circles, concentric squares, concentric triangles, concentric multiples, and concentric irregularities, and spreads out and arranges them outward.

(3) Integrated Radiation Combines spot radiation and concentric radiation in one screen to organize and process.

3. The comprehensive transition will be parallel and radiative shifting methods appear simultaneously, arranged in a picture, so that the form of the work to form a curve, straight, wide, narrow, thick, fine contrast, composition of the complex, changeable, more effective ,interesting. However, in order to prevent the occurrence of scattered, chaotic, floral and miscellaneous ills, the screen should generally only have one center or main body, or one main and one time, avoiding multiple centers and multiple subjects.

4. Misalignment, penetration and deformation

(1) There are two cases of misalignment: global dislocation and local dislocation. The overall misalignment is for the contrast of the hue and the warmth and darkness of the hue, the contrast of the bright and dark of the purity, and the overall and opposite arrangement of the colors of the bottom and the figure. For example, when the background is cold and warm, the picture is warm and cold, and the background color is bright and dark, the picture is dark and bright, the background color is fresh to gray, and the picture color is gray to fresh.

Local misalignment is a method used when dealing with regular block-like color arrangements. For example, the first row uses 1, 2, 3, and 4 colors, the second row uses 2, 3, 4, and 5 colors, and the third row uses 3, 4, 5, and 6 colors, each row is staggered by one level or Multistage. Sometimes, for a certain sense of light and three-dimensional processing, it can also be misaligned to the left and right sides at the same time. For example, the first row uses 1, 2, 3, and 4 colors, and the left and right second rows use 2, 3, 4, and 5 at the same time. No. for symmetry dislocation.

(2) Permeation is a form of representation in which both shapes can be represented when they overlap. The translucent colors can be produced with transparent and light effects, which are very interesting and modern. When the base shape and the surface shape overlap, if the number of color-difference levels is small, the two have a small sense of closeness. When the difference in color progression increases, the sense of space of both increases and there is a sense of distance.

(3) The variability and creativity of deformation color shift are greatly exploited. After mastering basic composition forms and phoenix patterns, various changes will be made and the individual’s imagination and imagination will be fully utilized. This will result in infinite masterpieces.

Many forms of change, such as fixed radiation radiation are generally processed into a straight line, can be used for arc deformation processing, into a windmill with a sense of unidirectional rotation, but also for two-way cross-processing, the effect is more complex and rich and so on.
