What role does value play in planning composition?
-Controls and accentuates the mood of an image
-Similar to line of sight, the eye is drawn to the greatest contrast of values
How can we use values to focus attention or certain information?
-Using varying tones to make contrasts between elements
-Using stronger contrasts of value to give prominence to key components
What is a colour palette?
-Selection of colours you are applying to an image
The most common basic value plans:
-light against dark
-dark against light
-dark and halftone against light
-light and dark against halftone
-up to 3 values
NOTAN - Japanese idea of black and white harmony
Colour and value is key in the work of Herge. Notable in his Tintin illustrations, Herge applies contrasts of colour to determine the key components of his images. While variation is evident in the jungle textures and green tones, Herge applies warm yellows and oranges to his key components. This works not only to allow the different elements to stand away from one another, but also assigns importance to the elements that are carrying the narrative.
