Part 1:
I started the assignment by selecting sets of complementary colors. I tested out red-green, and yellow-purple. I don’t really have the color-aid paper for any blue ones, so I failed to test orange-blue. I finally went with yellow-purple, since I think they’re more obviously showing the transitioning between the same muddy yellow into a more lighter/cold over the purple background, and more darker/warm over the yellow background.
Part 2:
It’s very challenging since I gave myself the constraint by only using one random newspaper. Therefore, there’s not so much ideal “black” or “white”. Eventually, I reached to this certain degree of gradient, but I think it will work better if I intentionally look for the colors in different newspaper.
