Description: This picture brings me a spirit of hard work and study, and the colors are bold and contrasting

This picture contains three colors, black, white and red.  The red color is mainly distributed in the top of the picture and has a prominent appearance, which emphasizes the visual center to a large extent and makes it easy for people to understand the content described in the picture.  The weightlifter in the center of the upper red area symbolizes the human brain's hard thinking about chess, while the other red color is on the black chess in the lower left corner.  Use a strong color contrast to highlight the difficulty of the battle between man and chess.

Description:This picture repeats the same figure to highlight the central idea, and I guess it may be intended to express the meaning of gaze, which has a deep meaning

My first impression from this picture is that many eyes are watching me, but it is actually lots of people wearing hat.   This picture gives me the feeling that people who seem to have nothing to do with each other are observing in other ways, mainly using three colors of red and black, with strong and sharp contrast.   The large area of red in the background makes people shudder, plus it resembles multiple eye patterns, which makes me have to think deeply about the internal meaning

Description:

This drawing uses deconstruction techniques to divide the subject matter and form an object similar to a hollow box, and the visual center uses strong black and white contrast.  It gives people a sense of a step-by-step search for a secret, but each search leads to the same answer.

The main object adopts three-dimensional design, but there are two-dimensional circles distributed around it, and the contrast between the shapes makes the whole picture look not stiff.
