Assignment
Create a 3-IMAGE ARC where the PALETTE SHIFTS tell the story: define 3 different 3-color palettes for each stage. Image 1 uses palette A, image 2 uses palette B, image 3 uses palette C. The palette transition IS the emotional narrative.
Criteria: 3 images visible. Each uses a distinct 3-color palette. The palettes form a progression (not random). Palette change is the primary narrative device. Each palette contains only its designated 3 colors (plus black/white for value).
Intents
- Each of the three images will use a strictly limited, unique 3-color palette, with no color overlap between palettes except for black/white for value.
- The palette progression will be visually explicit: Image 1 uses cool-muted tones (pale blue, slate gray, muted lavender), Image 2 uses intense-vivid tones (vivid crimson, electric violet, golden yellow), and Image 3 uses warm-soft tones (warm terracotta, olive green, dusty peach).
- The emotional arc will be legible through the palette shift alone: calm detachment (cool-muted), energetic climax (intense-vivid), peaceful resolution (warm-soft).
- Each image’s composition will echo its mood: Image 1 is sparse and open, Image 2 is dynamic and crowded with diagonals, Image 3 is gentle and softly enclosed.
- The figure and setting will remain consistent across all three images, highlighting the emotional transformation solely through palette and composition.
Scene Prompt
SCENE DESCRIPTION (IMAGE PROMPT):
**Image 1 – Beginning / Calm Detachment (Palette A)**
The scene is a nearly empty rectangular room viewed from a slight overhead angle. The lone figure sits cross-legged on the floor, back slightly rounded, under a tall window. Everything is rendered using only:
- Pale blue (walls and daylight streaming through the window, pooling softly on the floor and back wall)
- Slate gray (floor, deep window shadow, and subtle shadow under figure)
- Muted lavender (wind

Strengths
- Palette is strictly limited and well-controlled.
- Composition is calm, sparse, and supports the intended mood.
- Color harmony is strong; the cool-muted palette is cohesive.
Weaknesses
- Only one image is present, so the required narrative arc and palette progression are missing.
- Cannot evaluate the effectiveness of the palette shift or emotional arc.
Recommendation
Submit all three images as required. Ensure each uses its unique 3-color palette and that the palette progression is visually explicit and narratively effective. As a single image, this is a strong start, but the assignment is incomplete.
