project overview
Super Hubby was created as part of a Color Theory course to demonstrate how color relationships influence visual communication.
Beginning with a black-and-white portrait of my husband, the photograph was manually vectorized using only four values of gray to establish depth, contrast, and form before color was introduced.
The completed illustration was then transformed into multiple compositions using monochromatic, complementary, analogous, split-complementary, double-complementary, and triadic color schemes.
Each variation explores how different color harmonies dramatically change mood, emphasis, and visual impact while maintaining the same underlying artwork.

Understanding Color Beyond Aesthetics
The objective was to explore how color relationships influence emotion, hierarchy, and visual perception.
Starting from a single grayscale illustration, the challenge was to create multiple compositions that demonstrated different color harmonies while maintaining consistency in form and readability.
creative exploration
The design process began with manually vectorizing a portrait using four values of gray before exploring two distinct poster compositions. Each concept was then developed through six color harmony variations to examine the impact of color theory on hierarchy, balance, and visual expression.
final color solutions
This project strengthened my understanding of how color relationships influence mood and readability while reinforcing the importance of maintaining consistent form throughout multiple visual explorations.
