From my research earlier, I had a lot of different cart ideas to work from. The only problem with some of our favorites of those, particularly the pink and white ones, is that they may be too close in parts to Johnny's colour schemes; we don't want him to get lost in the colours behind him, so we wanted to make sure that we explored a range of different colours rather than limit us just to our research - it isn't like carts can only be certain colours, and especially since it is owned by our rather eccentric cake man, it won't necessarily conform to the more popular cake cart colours.
I still tried a couple of our original cart colour ideas which were very fun, but I could already imagine how much they would clash, and it wasn't even really worth testing them against a background - plus, the backgrounds that Rebecca has made so far are already quite saturated, along with Johnny and the cakeman, so having a very saturated and bright cart in the middle of all of that is probably a very bad idea.
I still wanted some parts of it to be bright - Cakeman wouldn't have a boring cart - but I tried to changing them to more wood kind of colours, which makes it look a bit more natural than just a bright, neon plastic cart. Having a more natural look makes it seem less like 'come and gorge on your sugary, unhealthy treats here!' as opposed to 'have a nice, homemade, one off treat' but that could just be me. Either way, it's a little nicer on the eyes and would allow Johnny to stand out enough, so I will continue with some more colour experiments.
