James,
1. Name three ways using color enhances the chromatic metamorphosis from sequence to sequence?
The simple black and white of the first image helps the letter J really stand out and blend in; the letter stands out, while the colors blend in, so it looks as if it belongs. Changing the background to red to allow the green cars to complement it adds a nice touch. Using different values of green for the final image really makes the car stand out, and leaving a touch of red for the rims works.
4. Describe what is potentially happening between the steps. How effective is the continuity between the seven steps, explain? If the continuity is not effective why is it not working?
Between the steps, a Dodge Challenger appears and dances about before settling in on a single, larger image of a car. The background shows the real metamorphosis, though, as it slowly fades before shifting from two solid rectangles of color bisecting the image, to a radial “rising sun” style background. The continuity is effective, as the background gradually shifts from the initial image to the final image. At first glance I thought that the “rising sun” style stripes popped in too quickly, but then I realized that the “e” image is missing from the wordpress post… the web gallery on the student server has this missing image and the continuity works very well there.
3. How is perspective used in the overall composition? What type of perspective is used and how does it enhance the composition and/or the transition between steps?
James did a great job on this piece. The perspective used is a one point perspective. I think the perspective doesnt really come in until the 5th slide where the lines radiating from behind the Challenger give it a sense of depth. I think the blending was well done through the steps.
Question 5
What do you think of the quality of the design and composition? Is there enough contrast between each of the seven images to get a true feeling of chromatic metamormphis? Explain. If not, explain.
James
I think there was no “real” metamorphosis. From Image A its clean and nice, then Image B suddenly there are cars and then you moved them around, change the color of the lower half of the background. I just wished u faded the cars in and then started moving them. For me, the chromatic metamorphosis isnt working for me in this design.

Name 3 ways using color enhances the chromatic metamorphasis from sequence to sequence?
The use of color in these pieces really enhances each piece. The color compliment each other but also bring attention the objects in picture. It makes the piece alot more interesting than if it was only one color. And I really think the starting picture and the ending picture really define the word chromatic.
2 – Project 3 Critique – Balance
2. What type of balance is used in the metamorphosis and what is the point of focus? Does either change between the steps or do they remain the same throughout the steps? Be specific in answers.
James
I like the end result in your image it looks really cool!
The type of balance used in the metamorphosis is symetrical balance, but sometimes it seems like the J is trying to go to the right of the image. Everything in the picture is focusing on the center car starting at the second image all the way to the end. The order of the images used in this project change but the balance stays the same way because the images stay half and half in each side of the final images of each step. I like the way you came up with the final image.

Oops, Just saw your post. I corrected the issue and added the missing image. Thanks Kyle.
