Using Adobe Photoshop to Scale the Rate of the Shape’s Deformation By Colour Contrast Application

Interior designers are quite cognizant of the colour significance as a basic element of design, in order to achieve aesthetic and functional demands. This paper aims to present an empirical model for interpreting the relationship between the colour’ contrast and highlighting the foreground objects, by measuring the values of the deformation via using Adobe Photoshop software. The experiment contained practical steps of calculation and analysing the amount of the chromatic deformation of the foreground objects, which is represented by 6 samples model. These samples of coloured spots are tested within two phases; with coloured background based on Itten colour wheel, and with a neutral background “greyscale wheel”; and comparing the results by calculating the amount of distortion, through measuring angle's values. The findings showed that using of contrast application is useful as an empirical method for scaling the chromatic interaction between the foreground and the background. By using T-Test analysis the findings emphasized that the colour contrast had a significant impact on highlighting or distorting the foreground shapes.
