I drew that this evening for design class. This week in design class we're learning abstract compositions and color themes in Illustrator (or Inkscape.) I used the gestalt principles of common fate ( the hair ), a lot of similarity and a little bit of symmetry in the first two, a little bit of continuation I think is happening in the second one, and in some of the features in the third one perhaps, and perhaps some proximity in each of them. I don't think I used closure anywhere that I can see, and I think the reason is that I like to fill in everything, and closure is the opposite, leaving something out that's implicit. For the colors, for the first one, I picked bright gradient colors because those are my favorite colors. I don't have a favorite color, I have a favorite saturation, and it's full saturation, although the white is mixed in too to increase brightness. So, bright purple, orange and green because they go together without contrasting too much. F
