Color Lecture Response


Color Lecture

I was excited for the color lecture, because I knew it was going to be very helpful to me. Before the lecture the only thing I ever took into consideration was contrasting colors when designing. Now I know there are many different ways to use color well. I learned harmonious hues could be just as effective as contrasting, as well as value and Chroma. The six different unity strategies were also very helpful. I found most interesting that each color holds a different weight, and that depending on the colors, the composition may not be even if its just half one color and half the other. Especially if it’s a darker and a lighter color, you have to adjust it so there’s more of the lighter color so the composition is evenly distributed. The color lecture will come in handy for the rest of my design career and in everyday life.
