I chose the word CONNECT because it was a word that stood out to me because of the many possibilities that I could work with when cutting and pasting these words. I am happy with my word choice because i have been able to have a lot of fun with creating the cut and paste and computer examples of CONNECT. 

My color exercises!!

After working for a few hours on my color exercises and completing them I have a better understanding of how color can draw attention to certain subjects, create unity, and add interest to my word "connect". My three colors were hot pink, dark violet, and turquoise, these colors were very fun to work with and when all of my 15 exercises were done and I looked at the product as a whole the colors reminded me of an 80's work out video. The colors when placed next to Each other were very energizing and this was perfect for my word connect because of the connection of electronic products to outlets, thus giving them energy. Overall the color exercises were a lot of fun and I am glad we got to mess around with color.
