Pantone Booklet - Pantone Your Street Photographs

Below are a series of photographs that I took in response to the Pantone your street brief. I tried to find interesting colour swatches within the real world, on the side of walls, streets, buildings and the roads. During this process I really immersed myself in the inspiration that is all around us, I found and saw colours that I never would have seen or bothered to look for before.

On this photo the colour of the bins really excited me, as they looked like a Pantone swatch in themselves, as they are all varying shades of the same tone. I knew as soon as I saw this that this was the photo I was going to use, the primary colours of red, yellow and blue contrasted against the colours of nature around really interested me, a mixture of man made and nature.

Here the colour of the rubbish interested me, as within the dull, low saturated colours of the building which seems quite dark and grungy, then the blue of the rubbish bag just adds a completely different colour and it contrasts completely against the other colours.

This is a photo of student accomodation, I loved how all the tertiary colours were placed within this frame. purple, orange and green, however in the end I didn't think their were enough interesting colours to swatch from, as the wall and ground take up most of the picture.
