Studio Brief 02 - Licence to Print Money: Digital Colour experiment

In this blog, I have put my final designs of the Illustrator sketches on Photoshop and now practicing with different colours to see if I can visually match the colour scheme of the theme Banknotes that I will do.

For the nature banknote theme, I tried to see what it visually looked like if I experimented with pastel colours. I believe this is suitable as nature is a very soft and bright tones.
Hopefully when I try to test this on the screen printing part that it will print nicely, as the paper that I transfer the image on is different textures to represent the different seasons.

For the precious metals banknote theme, I tried to see using metallic colours on a black background would be suitable to choice of a good colour scheme. This is a similar choice of colouring technique that I will do for the Gambling colour themed. Instead it will be in a card shape style and size for like casino. The colours that I will be experimenting with is
gold, silver, bronze and platinum.

Overall, all of them look good in the colour scheme that I had chosen for them. The main thing is to test these out on the actual paper when traditionally screen printing them as physical prints.
