Review Week 8

Why must designers pay close attention to how color is utilized within a composition? Color can affect how the reader views the image, and can change the feeling they receive from it. Color can also be viewed differently next to other colors.

Why is the color wheel an important tool for graphic designers? Graphic designers use the color wheel to determine color schemes.

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 designer used neutral colors to emphasize the blue streak of color in the middle of the page. It draws the viewers eye to that section and creates interest and movement within the piece.

Briefly describe how we "see" the color of an object? An object absorbs or reflects one or more of the colors in the visible light spectrum. The reflected color is the color we see.
