For The Daily Create’s challenge for June 7th, 2020, the challenge was to design a postmodern birdie with an emotional color. Looking through my photos, I remembered that while I was Belize, I had taken pictures of a lot of birds, one of favorites being a male Great-tailed Grackle (Quiscalus mexicanus); the little guy picture above was always very chipper in the morning, bee-bopping from treetop to treetop, making it very difficult to get a picture. This is one of my favorite pictures I got of him, nestled in the over-crossing of branches and leaves high up in the trees. Turning this bird into a postmodern birdie with emotional colors, I decided to use the colors yellow and green. The color yellow emotionally symbolizes things such as bright, sunny, energetic, warm, happy, and joy; the color green emotionally symbolizes things such as freshness, the environment, money, fertility, and the earth. I chose to use yellow shadows to enhance the bird’s dark colored body to now resemble it’s perky, bright, and energetic behavior. I also chose to use green hues to enhance the environmental aspects of the picture, such as the branches and leaves, to resemble the freshness of the earth and area the bird was in. Putting these colors into this photo made the birds body pop with the shadows of yellow, and the environmental aspects around him, making for a fun and eccentric postmodern birdie displaying emotional colors.
I have also provided another picture based off of this Daily Create challenge of my rat Casper, pictured on the left. I chose to use the colors blue and pink for his emotional colors. The color blue emotionally symbolizes tranquility, security, loyalty, peace, and trust; the color pink emotionally symbolizes healthy, happy, sweet, compassionate, and playful. I chose to use pink hues to enhance Casper’s happy, compassionate, and playful behavior while using blue shadows to enhance his tranquility, security, and trust in his home environment. I hope you have enjoyed my take on a postmodern birdie/rat using emotional colors!
