A quote on colour by an artist. I tried searching for a quote by an architect, but it doesn't seem as though many architects give much importance to colour (well, they don't talk about colour). I chose this quote because it summed up my old perception of colour - something you just apply to a design to make it look "nice". However, I now feel that it's more than that. It's one of the things that defines a design.
My collage on colour. I thought myself to be more of a 'green' person. Others thought of me as a 'black' (do I really symbolise misery?). I wear mostly grey and black clothes, and my room is dominantly brown (the brown building used in the collage is one by Barragan, one of the protagonists of the workshop). My ideal colour's light blue. I think it represents a lot of the qualities I hope to achieve.

As part of the typography exercise, I rewrote some of the notes taken in class. I figured I didn't want to have Aa Bb Cc Dd written on a blank page. I think that this practiced on a Moleskine book and scanned adds to an "oldish" feel to the Atlas, which I wanted to achieve, to resemble the Lord of the Rings book (chosen in class for the favourite book exercise).
