Review Week 8!

Why must designers pay close attention to how color is utilized within a composition?
Color choice makes or breaks a design; when used correctly, color can convey the message that the designer is trying to, and can also evoke an emotional reaction.

Why is the color wheel an important tool for graphic designers?
This visual tool shows the relationship between primary, secondary, and tertiary colors, as well as their complementary and analogous colors.


Find an example of neutral colors utilized within a design (hint: google poster design). Near the sample, discuss why you feel the designer included neutral colors within the composition.

The neutral colors in this Kings of Leon poster gives it a very aged, vintage feel, much like their music (at least in my opinion). It's soothing to the eye in a similar fashion to how their music is soothing to the ear! :)

Briefly describe how we "see" the color of an object?
When light hits an object, all of the colors are not absorbed in the object and are instead reflected off of the object are the colors of the object. And that, my dear viewer, is how one "sees" the color of an object.

Farewell for now!
