HOW TONE IS OPERATING...
- the break in tone of the light blue color around parts of the face and the darker blue of the hairline creates texture.
- distinguishes between the background, the face, the hair, the text, and his suit and clothing.
- creates dimensions of darkness and lightness (also creates highlights and implies dark colors). However, the background being the same tones as the face leave the poster looking flat and iconic.
HOW TONE IS INTERACTING...
- tone is interacting with shape to create recognizable features of Obama's face (the different highlighted and colored parts help create a 3D look.)
- the different toned shapes provide contrast between the light and darkness of Obama's features and clothes
- creates text shapes that also give the poster meaning and contrast between the background
HOW COLOR IS OPERATING...
- symbolically patriotic (red, whiteish, blue) blue and red are primary colors.
- depict Obama as a man of the country
- creates variations in similar tones (the middle blue color and red found in the background as well as the face are the same tone but the color is obviously different).
HOW COLOR IS INTERACTING...
- There are no dark lines splitting up the shapes that create this poster. There are lines created by the change of color and the tones of blue. Rarely on this poster are they straight since faces only have organic lines. The dark color of the suit, the hair, and frame of the face create a border around Obama. His face is centered between two swirly different colored lines that form his ears. The lines and colors that make up his suit make him seem powerful.
