Colour

Orange.

Out of a load of research sheets i finally got rid of the bull ideas
and got onto something that i thought was interesting and had some in depth context to my colour.

In a way we all got different briefs.

Mine was Orange is 1512.

Why?

well it was all based on a simple question which needed some investigation,
which came first, the chicken or the egg?

well which came first, the Orange or the Orange?
(orange - colour
orange - fruit)

well after quite alot of time i discovered the answer to the puzzle.
The colour is named after orange the fruit, the colour was refaired to in old english
as Geoluhread which basically meant Yellow - Red in a modern English translation.

The first recorded use of orange as a colour name in English was in what year, dare i answer?
yes in 1512 in the court of King Henry VIII.

Now I thought, thats quite interesting, how many people will of found this out?
No one in the class knew, which led to a indavidual graphical opportunity.

I instantly knew what i was going to do from that point.
I defaced a portrait of old Henry the ginger ninger and added images of various orange items
which were to reflect areas of his personality, after all, what is orange?

Well im sure with no research needed we all know that Henry was:

delbt with caution
hypocritical
ginger
feared
vibrant
horny (i mean how many wifes eh?)
murderer (how many wifes did he be head?)
childish
sharp
a Joke
savvage
Greedy
Selfish
Orange!!

oh he hated Marc Redhead to, research into that one

i got my sketch of henry dawg out then
then i altered him to make him sharper rather than round
be cause he was a prick, i think we'd get on...
erm yeah beside the point. i made him into a abstract composition to reflect
essence of the colour orange.
i then added different items in his grasp to
give an impression of what orange is, and what is orange
and the personality of henry cakes,
these were my ten!



Duck - A joke
Cone - Caution
Simply Red - Ok... no real reason for that bar my humour
Pumpkin - Feared
Dildo - Horny
Tiger - Savvage
UV - Center of attention
Lucozade - Energetic
Redhead's Head - Murderer
Pile of Oranges - Greed/ The reason for orange

In essence i wanted to Visualy Communicate that Orange is more than it seams.
All of these items gave off what you would associate Orange with.

Crit = "What has Henry VIII got to do with Orange?"

in essence everything.

To conclude with, something i enjoy to do..

How many posters/ advertisments etc do you look at and understand straight away
and then forget about forever.

How many posters/ advertisments etc do you see and think what the *Explicit Deleted* is that?

and then your mind tingles and you use your head box (brain) and think what possibly
could be the answer to this riddle, well thats how i like to work. There is more to Orange
than people make out, sometimes that extra step forward to show a more in depth concept
is that extra stab in the neck back for lack of education.

But yeah anyway, its those mind tingling advertisments that stick in your head alot longer than the others.

On that note, i'm gunna have a piss, rob some food and beer off Marc
and get Wasted! :)
