Idea Development

I have now started to develop some visual work for the initial idea research that I gathered. The idea focused on how many times I saw someone wearing the colour pink whilst walking through town.  I recorded the amount of times I saw someone wearing the colour pink whilst I walked from uni to Dry Dock for lunch. I saw the colour pink worn 28 times within the space of 10 minutes.

When first developing this, I gathered some research on the colour pink through purely focusing on Pantone shades. I looked into the most popular pinks and the colour of the year pink from 2016 (Rose Quartz). One of the shades I loved was Pantone 'Honeysuckle' 18-2120, I also think 'Rose Quartz' is a beautiful colour.

However, these two colours are quite opposite on the pink spectrum so I think maybe a midway pink colour would be better to use if I were to use one main colour. I started to gather more research on pink shades that were more midway, below shows 4 of the pink shades that I really enjoyed.
