Review week 8
Why must designers pay close attention to how color is utilized within a composition?
because if they don't it could make or break their design. Color can exaggerate or tone down something and it is very important to utilize.
Why is the color wheel an important tool for graphic designers?
Because they can use to to determine a color scheme for their design, if they just choose random color not knowing where they are on the color wheel it could turn out very badly.
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.
I think that the designer used nuetral colors because he felt it would make the words stand out.
Briefly describe how we "see" the color of an object?
we see a white light and whatever color the object is its reflected back into our eye.
