Colour Assignment Disaster...

-sigh- It was depressing to see my assignment go horribly wrong due to my stupidity with using microsoft word...
Here's what happened:
I did it all inside microsoft word, saved it as a document and brought it to the campus' printing place. As my printer was out of ink and we were only given less than a day to do this assignment. Since i saved it as a document and not as an image, the fonts which i spent half an hour searching for online to download, were gone. >:| In its place were a bunch of random plain-looking fonts. It completely ruined my assignment D; Also, being unfamiliar with microsoft word (which i think i've stated before in one of my previous posts) I had no. idea. on how to turn the page from horizontal height to vertical length... which was the way our assignments were supposed to be done in. the pages was supposed to be vertically longer.

These are my printed-wrong assignments:






Since the fonts were all wrong, i decided to just explain the meanings to the words i picked for each colour during my presentation in class.
Black. Sleek. I've always seen the colour as firm yet classy. It seems sophisticated and a sort of quietly beautiful colour.
Grey. Practical. I did some research online and saw that most of the explanations given for grey were dull and boring, which seemed a little negative so i decided grey seemed like more of a practical colour. .-.
White. Purity. White always seemed like a clean, clear and innocent colour to me. It seemed obvious that white represents purity. So obvious that most of my classmates had the same word for white. -_-
Red. Bold. It always seemed like a colour that is brave, something that just screams attention. So, so.. BOLD. >:O
Blue. Serene. A calm and peaceful colour. It always has a soothing effect on me when i look at it. :)
Purple. Mystic. Even though most of the search results said it's a majestic colour, I don't really see it as one... gold seemed more suitable for that word. Purple seems more mysterious, magical, even a little dangerous if you think about it. *-*
Brown. Stability. It took me a while to think about this colour. It always seems so firm, organized, and natural all together. Stability just seemed to fit the colour perfectly to me. :|
Pink. Sweet. Pink. When people see this word, the first thing that comes to mind is not sweet, cute or even feminine. The first word that pops to mind is usually Barbie. Why? Because ...well,  it would be a really long answer but long story short, it's famous. And Barbie pretty much fits the definition of pink anyway. But i think sweet is more accurate than Barbie to define pink. :P
◘ Lastly, my name: Liwei. I picked the word blue because... well, at the time i was at a loss for words as i think it suited me, but i couldn't find the right word for it. Then Miss Lisa suggested melancholic. I have to say though, after a little research, which i found on wiki. Taken from the first paragraph, "Four temperaments is a proto-psychological interpretation of the ancient medical concept of humorism and suggests that four bodily fluids affect human personality traits and behaviors. The temperaments are sanguine (pleasure-seeking and sociable), choleric (ambitious and leader-like), melancholic (introverted and thoughtful), and phlegmatic (relaxed and quiet)." i think i'm more phlegmatic ._. relaxed and quiet ...too relaxed and quiet half of the time >_> Mostly because melancholic, as stated in wiki, are people who tend to worry about being on time for events and are perfectionists... and i'm always late, not much of a perfectionist either =_=

Anyway, i think i'm getting off topic again (lol bad habit Dx) that's pretty much what i think about these few colours, but personally i don't really rely on those websites that define colours as it mostly depends on one's point of view on how they see the world and what colour they see as what sort of emotional... feeling it gives them.

OK. enough explaining, there's too many words in this post... D:
Here's how my assignment was supposed to look like

oh how i wish it actually turned out like this D;
i'm pretty sure my points for this assignment are ...i don't really want to think about it..so i wont >_< meh. that's it for now. this post has a lot less pictures and a whole lot of words compared to my other posts. so goodbaiiiiiiii~
for now. xD
