This is a rather epic quest. Created this for my Design class; it's a color worksheet that demonstrates the relationships between colors. I had one idea that utilized a whirlpool-type element, with different arms representing what the "files" (columns on a chessboard) do here - that is, saturation shift, hue shift, etc. - and subdivisions within the whirlpool arms representing what the "ranks" (rows on a chessboard) do here - that is, being different colors.

Chessmen created using the 3D Revolve tool in Adobe Illustrator CS3 (kinda fiddly; didn't always render every plane it should have). Board creation, composition, coloring, text, and final composition in Adobe Photoshop CS3.

My computer didn't like this project. Too much work for it to do. :-)

The knight needs some work imho ;-)

Thanks! I appreciate it.

You're right about the Knight. You try it. :-) It's pretty tough to get anything other than a revolve or extrude, though, and I really just needed to get it done.

As for shadows...good point. I never thought of that.
