An investigation into the application of colour theory and lighting techniques within a 3dimensional environment.
Using only two colours (black and crimson), a title and one paragraph of text developed to show how light and colour can be portrayed using no graphic elements other than what was available through the typeface on the keyboard. The eye is drawn to the main element in this case being the "A" which is supporting the title "colour + light".
A fundamental rule of typography hierarchy is being broken by having an element from the bodytext heavier than the title. But in this case I wanted to use it as more of a graphical element. The remaining bodytext further supports the application of the light technique by being representative of a shadow to the "A". The "+" in the centre shows how very little colour can still have a significant impact.
