Assignment
Create 2 images: JOY at whisper intensity (contentment, quiet pleasure — like a Bonnard domestic interior) and JOY at shout intensity (ecstasy, explosive happiness — like a Kandinsky abstraction). Same emotion, opposite volumes.
Criteria: 2 images visible. Both read as positive/joyful emotion. One is quiet and subdued (low saturation, soft edges, gentle palette). One is loud and intense (high saturation, dynamic forms, bold palette). The contrast between volumes is dramatic.
Intents
- The “whisper” JOY image will use a desaturated, pastel color palette (soft yellows, pale blues, warm creams) with overall saturation below 30%.
- The “whisper” image will feature soft, blended edges and gentle, diffused lighting—no sharp contrast or hard outlines.
- The “shout” JOY image will use a bold, saturated palette (vivid yellows, hot pinks, electric blues) with overall saturation above 80%.
- The “shout” image will include energetic, sweeping gestures and dynamic abstract forms that stretch to the very edges of the frame, resulting in a nearly filled composition.
- Both images will communicate joy, but the “whisper” will read as quiet contentment in a cozy, intimate domestic scene, while the “shout” will explode with non-representational forms and intense color.

Edges are soft, as if painted in watercolor or pastel, with no harsh lines. Light pools quietly, creating g
