color/gestalt

For the color scheme I decided to use the triadic color scheme for the eyebrows, eyes and beard so that they would blend together. I really wanted the beard to stand out the most so I left it the brightest color out of the three colors. I wanted the tie below the beard to blend with the beard so I used the complimentary color to it. I used the principle of closure and left a lot of key parts of the face out of the picture to let the viewer put together the rest of the picture. I used the principle of proximity and did not let the parts of the picture touch but left them close enough to be perceived as one unit.
