Tim – Question #4. Describe what is potentially happening between the steps. How effective is the continuity between the seven steps, explain? If the continuity is not effective why is it not working? In slides 1-3 the only thing that I see changing is the color and texture of the letter M. Sides 1-3 has very slight tonal changes to the overall composition. In slide 4 the overall composition opacity gets lighter letting the view start to see that there is another picture under the first one, while the letter M stays the same. In side 5 the letter M changes from a gray tone with texture to white. In slide 6 the letter M starts to fade along with the image on the right hand side of the project. The image on the left hand side seems to become a little darker. In the last slide it shows that the first image in the project is barely visible with the letter M in white.
I think that the continuity could be a little better by changing the opacity of the images a bit more throughout the project. The letter M could have changed from a dark color to a light color, not a light to dark and back to gray then to light. It didn’t seem to flow. However, I think that the image coming together as one in the last few slides was very nicely put together.

Name three ways using color enhances the chromatic metamorphosis from sequence to sequence?
The colors used in image A were very strong and concentrated. As the images progressed, the sharp colors of the face faded into the background and the duller tones of the background images began to show through. Color was used very well to make the morphing evident. In each image, the letter “M” also changed colors. This change made the changed in images A-G more evident.
5. What do you think of the quality of the design and composition? Is there enough contrast between each of the seven images to get a true feeling of chromatic metamorphosis, explain? If not also explain?
Tim
I like the design, I like the gritty feel between the sequences, its got an artsy vibe to it, which I like. I didn’t really see to much of a metamorphosis between the beginning of the sequence to the end, when i began to think that the M was gone it came back so I felt like the letter kept pulling me back to the beginning of the sequence only to realize that it was the end. The color changes between the sequence were consistent, too consistent that I didn’t feel much of a metamorphosis between the sequence, it felt like a loop.
1. Name three ways using color enhances the chromatic metamorphosis from sequence to sequence?
Three ways in which color enhances the chromatic metamorphosis in the sequence are:
a. Color unity – To the right side during the first few slides we see a number of different shades of yellow. This brings harmony to this side and allows us to travel our eyes around the composition from the letter “M” then around to the face and eventually back to the “M”. This harmony is relatively undisturbed through the sequence but the color fades into almost nothing towards the end.
b. The use of the Triad color harmony – Especially at the beginning you see a pretty stark red / blue / yellow triad in the composition. While these colors fade through the sequence, they are replaced by neutrals or static. Because these colors don’t move us to another mood or feeling in the color of the project, there is no real emotional journey (not necessarily a bad thing).
c. The effect of color on the emotion of the picture – Though the figure on the left fades drastically over the sequence its initial heavy blue color overrides through the sequence. Even though you may not see much of the image by the end you still feel the effects of its coloring.
