Color Lecture Reflection

After learning about various color strategies, I realized how little information I actually knew about color within design. I had also never heard of the term chroma used before. Prior to the lecture, I was more familiar with saturation, so I was able to learn about a new word that might be more commonly used in design. Along with this, I thought I had a fairly solid grasp on how colors are supposed to work together, but I didn’t realize how many various factors could come into effect when combining colors in design.
            With the joining of colors, I now have a better understanding of how certain colors, hues, values, and chromas have an effect on a design. There are many aspects of color that can greatly improve or worsen a piece of design work. Maybe the general layout and format of something is correct, but the colors do not correspond with the different shapes, lines, and feel of the design itself. Color can create emotion within a design, and if the proper looking color spectrum is not being used, the design might possibly convey the wrong impression.

            Overall, the color lecture was able to provide me with an improved comprehension of how color should be used and implemented in a design, so that I can create a proper portrayal in the most effective way possible.
