16th of November, 2010 - 1st Semester Results + Colour Theory For Designers


Although today I'm suppose
to be talking about English
but we didn't learn anything
because our lecturer was
telling us about our
final assignment
Besides,
I just can't wait
to share you all about
the Colour Theory
which I'm suppose to
learn tomorrow
in Visual Com class
Sadly, there's no class
tomorrow
...that's why...

But first of all,
I got a 4.00 pointer
for my GPA grade last semester :D
which was my 1st semester
Yay!

..hehe..
(Yes I know I've got so many 'love bites')

and so the sharing continues
So this is the colour cycle
where there's the
primary colours
(blue, red, yellow)
then the secondary colours
(purple, orange, green)
and the tertiary colours
(blue-green, yellow-green, yellow-orange,
red-orange, red-purple, blue purple)


Colours can be categorize as
warm colours, cool colours,
and neutral colours

Warm Colours
are the colors of fire, of fall leaves,
and of sunsets and sunrises,
and are generally energizing,
passionate, and positive.
These colours are used
in designs to reflect passion,
happiness, enthusiasm, and energy.

Red: Passion, Love, Anger
Orange:
Energy, Happiness, Vitality
Yellow:
Happiness, Hope, Deceit

Cool Colours
are the colors of night,
of water, of nature,
and are usually calming,
relaxing, and somewhat
reserved.
These colours are used
to give a sense of calm
or professionalism.

Green: New Beginnings, Abundance, Nature
Blue: Calm, Responsible, Sadness
Purple:
Creativity, Royalty, Wealth

Neutral Colours
often serve as the backdrop in design.
They’re commonly combined
with brighter accent colors.
But they can also be used
on their own in designs,
and can create very sophisticated layouts.
The meanings and impressions of
neutral colors are much more affected
by the colors that surround
them than are warm and cool colors.

Black:
Mystery, Elegance, Evil
Gray:
Moody, Conservative, Formality
White:
Purity, Cleanliness, Virtue
Brown:
Nature, Wholesomeness, Dependability
Tan or Beige:
Conservative, Piety, Dull
Cream or Ivory:
Calm, Elegant, Purity
