Color/Relieved: Loving Would Be Easy, If Your Colors Were Like My Dreams



This composition uses calm and cool colors to emulate being "relieved." The shapes become larger, and contain more space among them, toward the bottom to convey a feeling of expansion and relief. The cumbersome shape at the top is a reminder of the stress you feel prior to relaxing and feeling relieved. The colors become more vibrant toward the bottom because a relieved person is not dull, they are newly happy.

I liked the tear drop shapes you chose and the teal color. I did have to read the explanation because I thought out calm or peaceful when I looked at it but those are all emotions that extract from feeling relieved. Well done...

The tear drop shape is a nice shape to use for this emotion and I really liked the choice of colors. When I think of relieved I think simple so I like that you left so much blank space.

This remind me of relieved in more ways than one. Good use of imagery and colors.

I like the cool colors you used and the simplicity of the design. It shows that it doesn't take much to convey an emotion.
