Color is the most expressive of the design elements and can be showcased with an endless stream of techniques and applications. In this piece, the focus is on a particular selection of colors, textures, and imagery representing the flavor of Mexico.
The most noticeable change (to me) that has taken place since I first started posting on Feb. 1, is division of space and creating a visual impact that can be seen and felt from across the room. It has happened so gradually that I've had to really stop and think about it to understand it. The quote is still readable, but only up close. This is by design and probably due to a strong influence from the Yves Leterme Workshop in February. The bottom line is that division of space, strong value contrasts, and mood have become the focus. The readable text is for those who are actually interested enough to get up close and read it. Otherwise, it is simply a piece of fine art.
The word Mexico running up vertically on the right hand side was created by Sandy Odom in a Leanna Fay Workshop years ago. It was created initially by cutting out geometric letters from construction paper and then rearranging them on another sheet....sometimes using the positive space and sometimes the negative. It is great fun to do and would make a very interesting workshop or program. Thank you, Sandy!
