Clothing Inspiration

I have been looking at the colours on clothing and the shapes (also gradients) and seeing how they interact with one another...


Simple gradients between two colours seem to work well.




...the introduction of block colour into the gradient works well. This could work in having a solid colour block where I need to present text upon a gradient.


Using the darker gradient at the bottom of the t-shirt work well ...this would also work having the darkest colour of the gradient at the bottom of my screen.



...Using a gradient within an image also look effective. I could do this within the MoS logo design and present it again a block coloured background.




Using a pattern upon the gradient work well. A subtle MoS logo (lowered opacity) could be placed upon the gradient to create a stronger identity throughout my idents and title sequence.


It seems that colours close together on the colour wheel work better together on a gradient as they do not have as many colours to go through between the two colours.


The white type works well against the coloured background. I think it would work well against pretty much any gradient except for one that contains white as one of it's colours.

I also think that gradients which contain only two colours seem to look visually stronger than those which contain more than two colours to make up the gradient.
