Tone & Color.

Graffiti Artist 'Daim' From Germany.

How Tone is Operating:

The operating tone in the above image presents itself as a 3-D graffiti piece, so the artist, 'Daim' uses tone to create a depth of field, giving the effect that the piece is actually coming out at you. The shadows and fading behind the artwork emphasizes the piece, giving it a more justified 3-Dimensional look.

How Tone is Interacting:

Tone in this piece interacts with us in a way because it feels as if the art piece is actually moving and that we can imagine what it would feel like to touch it. This simple effect tricks our eye, because tone plays a big part with this artwork. You can see the tone gradually fading in and out with each other so that it creates a distance between all the blocks, giving us a more detailed depth of field.

How Color is Operating:

Color gives us a strong relation to the way we emotionally observe something. In the graffiti piece, color is used to build depth, so that the abstract blocks of letters looks as if it is coming out at us. This effect is achieved by adjusting the saturation of the different colors. You can see the different colors of orange bending over one another so that you can see which direction the blocks are going.

How Color is Interacting:

As stated in the picture above, color interacts within the the piece to bring life and movement. By using color we can see which shape is facing where, to give us a better view of what we are observing. The 3-Dimensional effect would not be achieved if the colors weren't interacting within the blocks. This method is effective, as there are not that many hard lines, giving a better flow with the added effect.
