I created a work in Photoshop in the style of the original piece. Since I wanted to follow the style but make it more personalized, I decided to keep the same overall composition but change the color scheme to reflect my own personality. For me, there is a strong distinction between order and disorder. I see them as very different with very few middle points. Therefore, while Sam Francis did not have a strong color distinction between his rectangles and spatters, I decided to do all my rectangles (order) in grey and black and my spatters (disorder) in a variety of bright colors. This large contrast identifies my personality better. I first created several layers of rectangles using a custom made brush in Photoshop. Then, I created several layers of splatter on top that do not fully mask the rectangles underneath, but somewhat merge with them because I feel I am equal parts organized and disorganized.
