Vol.7 Collection Ex.

I am sorry to post this urgent exercise so late. These five garments are the most attractive among the 30 sets, at least I think that. Besides, due to the scanner, the hue I colored is different when it is shown on the screen. I try hard to turn it to the similar one.

Vol.5 Class Ex.2

Conflict in Silence
In this collection, I actually choose one hue: red, which means mono-chromatic. I change its chroma and value to create more variations. Besides, adding achromatic color: black, grey and white, can enrich the whole collection and accentuate the primary color: red.


Red and those achromatic colors are perfect match. Red is a very aggressive color, it is easy to have "conflict" with other hues. But, achromatic colors are good parterns with red due to their low chroma. In fact, this is my favourite matching of color.

I'm sorry to post this ex. so late.

Vol.4 http://www.hermes.com/

Each brand has its own characteristic color(s): McDonald's is yellow and red; 7-ELEVEN is green, orange and red; agnès b. is black and white. Here, Hermès is orange, a secondary color from red and yellow. We can find it everywhere, especially on Hermès's official website: http://www.hermes.com/
The homepage(1)


The homepage(2)

The customer service

We can notice that, apart from orange and black, there is no other color on the main body of Hermès's official website. Later, I will give more evidences to show Hermès is orange; orange is Hermès, a high-end fashion.
