Week 11: Contrast

This is a clone of a famous guitar effect pedal which uses contrast effectively to draw attention to the exterior pedal surface with a dynamic graphic, reference the inner and exterior workings of the pedal and pay homage to the original design. In general the shape and function of the pedal is pretty simple. The rectangular and flat exterior surface features a dynamic graphic design which is actually a schematic of the inner workings of the original pedal that this pedal mimics in design and sound. Although the inner workings of this pedal actually look and work slightly different, the use of the old schematic makes for a dynamic graphic which effectively draws attention to the pedal, highlighting all of the exterior functions, input, output, on/off, control knobs (for those who can read schematics anyway) while paying an obscure kind of homage to the original design.
