Final Major Project - Chosing Aztec design colours

 Before starting to print my Aztec design i wanted to knwo what colours i was going to use for my final design, so I decided photocopy my design several times and colour each one of them in different ways and colour themes.
Firstly i decided to just colour it in using two different colours.

Here i have decided to use a black and white theme which doesnt work very well with this kind of design, I find it very boring to look at and i dont think it would be anybetter if it would to be used as a repeat pattern for wallpaper.

Here I have used a contrasting colour theme, using red and green.
Once again the colour theme didnt really work very well, there is too much green and not enough red for it to be successful.
For this design i have gone with a cool colour theme, using three different colours dark Blue, light Blue and a dark shade of Grey,I thought that this colour theme also work incredibly wel with my design, but just by looking at my design whith this colour theme it did make you feel quite cold, it remined me of being in the antartic which is not the effect i wanted to get being that this is an Aztec patter, so i think it should make you feel quite worm seeing as the Aztecs came from a hot country.

  


Pastel Pink, Blue and Purple.

Here i have gone for more contemporty colours such as Pastel Pink, Pastel Purple and Pastel Blue.
I really liked this i thought the use of three colours instead of two worked much better and these three colours that i have chosen all completement eachother.
This is the colour design that i am most pleased with and I think it will work really well as a repeat pattern wallpaper for a bedroom or living room, so this will be the colour theme that i will go with for my final design.
