Lecture:

• Colour Theory

He explains how humans perceive color and what color communicates artistically and emotionally.

• RGB v.s CMYK

Cyan, magenta, yellow and black (CMYK) are the primary colors of printingRGB color is used to display on your computer screen.

• Hue, shade, tint and tone.

Hue is the most basic of color terms and denotes an object’s color. 

Shade is a hue to which black has been added. For example, red + black = burgundy.

Tint is a hue to which white has been added. For example, red + white = pink.

Tone is a color to which black and white (or grey) have been added.

• Colour Harmony

• Monochromatic is hard to make a mistake and create the distasteful color scheme.

• Analogous are 3 colors located right next to each other on the color wheel.

• Analogous: Usually one of the three colors predominates.

• Complementary colors are opposites on the color wheel.

  
  

  This scheme is opposite to analogous and monochromatic since it aims to produce high contrast.

• Complementary colours make imagery pop, but overusing them can get tiresome.

• Split-Complementary

  involves the use of three colors. Start with one color, find its complement and then use the two colors on either side of it.

• Cool colours

Purple is often used to help spark creativity as it’samixture of blue (calm) and red (intense).

• Warm colours

However, yellow, red and orange can also have an attention grabbing effect and signal danger or make you take action (think stop signs, hazard warnings and barrier tape).

3.REFLECTION

This week we learned about photo manipulation, working with character details, adding backgrounds, using gradients to enrich the character frame, and using different layers on top of each other to reflect the effect of near and far scenery.

Through the relevant learning of lecture, I can understand the change of cold and warm between colors, the matching effect between colors, and the contrast between colors.
