HSS 228: The Internet & Global Society and Culture
This blog was created to expand the knowledge of the Internet to real practice and develop skills with the creation of a blog. Through the duration of this blog, I will provide insight to my design process as I seek to create inspired costumes for the production of Ah, Wilderness! for my costume design class.

Ah, Wilderness! Color Palettes

Each color palette represents a possible color system for the costumes. The colors are placed beside each other to give the designer a feel for the overall color scheme.

Chart A

The adults of the play are more part of the house, so their dark muted colors blend with the coloring of the set. The younger people are in lighter colors, to give them an air of innocence. Arthur is halfway between adult and child, so his colors reflect this "in-between" state. Richard has a pop of green to make him stand out from the rest of his family.



Chart B

This chart is just a Xeroxed copy of Chart A, which shows the values of each color swatch.



Chart C

In Victorian times, the men are sedate and calm, while the women flutter around them like painted butterflies. In this color palette, the men are dressed in sedate blues, while the women are in bright yellows to provide a sharp contrast. Richard stands out further as he has hints of chestnut brown added to his ocean blue.
