Color Lecture

Color is an essential part of the design process. The quantity, placement, shade, texture and combinations of colors directly relate to the success of a design.

In the lecture in class, different strategies for successful color selection were presented. For example, a designer could choose to weaken the chroma of a palette so that the color would not be overwhelming. In addition, one could balance bright colors with neutrals.

The assignment that followed asked students to look for 24 different examples of color usage. With the new vocabulary and ideas for color unity, I was able to carefully pick out color examples.  

Here are a few of my examples:

Use of Neutrals

Harmonious Hues

Harmonious Value

Contrasting Value
