Week 7: NADELL

This The Simpsons Movie poster definitely is an example of subtle use of color. There may not be a color that is more associated with a TV show than The Simpsons yellow. Just by seeing the hand and that it is yellow, makes you think immediately think of The Simpsons. Also, yellow is not one of those colors that is associated with any serious negative emotion like red or black that can indicate evil, blood, violence, etc. If anything, yellow resembles light and the sun, which connects to happiness and success. The Simpsons is definitely a feel-good type of TV show. Just the white background with the yellow hand makes this a perfect poster for The Simpsons Movie.

This Sports Illustrated cover of the 2006 NCAA Tournament is an example of bold use of color. All the colors on the cover of this magazine makes it very hectic. Hectic is the vibe that a March Madness magazine cover would want to display. Since the tournament can be very chaotic and hectic, the various colors on this cover replicate that. Because there are so many colors and a lot is going on, not one specific thing stands out other than the large basketball. Similarly to how every team has a chance in the beginning of the NCAA tournament and not one team standouts above the rest, no colors allow for a specific image to standout in this magazine cover. The colors of this magazine cover do a great job in displaying many of the qualities of the NCAA Tournament.
