COLOR THEORY PROJECT
Color is one of the most important design elements. Color Theory is understanding how colors interact with one another and what can be achieved with colors in a design. Colors have complex interactions with one another. Learning how color can change, enhance, or alter a design is very important for a designer.

BACKGROUND DESIGN
The background design should meet the following criteria: outlined with a thin black pencil tool, a geometric design or pseudo geometric design that draws attention to the page, 7.5 by 10 inches, 300 resolution, and created in Photoshop.
When working with the pencil tool you should use a brush size of 9 or 13. It is not required but I would suggest drawing a thin border around the outside edge of your background design. This thin border will help keep colors from filling up other sections with the wrong color. Make enough spaces in your design so you can show the color scheme yet not so many spaces in a design that you are troubled with being able to complete each color scheme. A good amount is between 30 to 40 spaces. |
COLOR SCHEMES
The color schemes working document should meet the following criteria: nineteen different color schemes on nineteen different layers, each layer box and color scheme should be labeled with the correct color scheme name, the correct colors should appear on each layer for each of the color schemes, the object from the Internet should be integrated into each color scheme layer by altering the color in the adjust menu, and use the nineteen color schemes listed in the sections below.
