Self Paced Training – Color Wheel

August 27, 2015 By Erica Ndubueze

In my self paced exercises, I decided to work on the color wheel. My idea was to create a Balloon Man being carried away by a giant Balloon with many of the colors of the color wheel. The entire drawing was done using Adobe Illustrator. This idea came up after watching the video of the band Robyn Hitchcock and the Egyptians’ “Balloon Man”.

In this piece I tried to experiment with white space and typography using Helvetica Neue in three different font weights. I wanted to create balance while keeping it simple. I wonder if I should use this as a computer wallpaper…
