For this prompt, we had to choose between a range of various spray can colours. This was a difficult decision because immediately lots of different colours all gave me a range of ideas and ways to take the prompt of creating our own spray can. In the end, I decided to choose the colour “Midnight”, which was a navy blue.

This stood out to me because of a lot of the possibilities and the way that I could link this colour to nature, the ocean, and things relating to midnight itself. To do this, I created a large mood board/spider diagram featuring a lot of the things that I could base the basic prompt on, as well as features that connect to that, some extended features linking together to truly build upon the theme.

The three main themes that I stemmed off the name were “Nature”, “Night” and “Darkness”. The “Nature” branch spread about a lot, developing into types of caves, trees, the ocean, all different types of wildlife. The “Night” branch spread into focusing on the moon, stars, space, and also nocturnal animals, which linked into the wildlife aspect of nature. Finally, for dark, I considered ways of using colour, such as contrast, and also the idea of isolated places, such as deserts and abandoned buildings.
