Colours~

Hello again :D During our Monday class, Miss Lisa explained to us about the colour wheel and how important colours are in design. Colours not only give off a certain mood when looked at, it sometimes also reflects our mood. Example, if you wore a yellow coloured shirt, it could mean you're in a good mood. Or black, because you felt serious, sophisticated.

Upon my research on colour wheels, i stumbled across colormatters.com a website which seemed to have similar informations to Miss Lisa's slide. So i took most of the pictures and information below from there.
The colour wheel, or circular diagram of colours, was first developed by Sir Isaac Newton in 1666. Then other scientists as well as artists have designed several other variations of this concept.

 There are 3 main colour wheels which are:

→ Primary colours cant be mixed/formed by any combination of other colours
→ Secondary colours are formed by mixing primary colours
→ Tertiary colours are formed by mixing a primary and secondary colour together

Colour Harmony:
○ A color scheme based on analogous colours
   They're 3 colours side by side on a 12-part colour wheel. Usually one colour predominates.

○ A colour scheme based on complementary colours
   These are 2 colours that are completely opposite of one another. They create maximum contrast      and stability.

○ A colour scheme based on nature

I saw this picture on the page and just had to take it xD it seemed so cute
The yellow colour shows dominance over the blue

Yup, that's about it for summarizing what Miss Lisa taught that day.
After that, we were assigned to use 8 colours listed in the slide (black, grey, white, red, blue, purple, brown and pink) and different types of  words and also suitable fonts used to describe the colour. With our name as the last word, we had to choose a colour, together with a font that represented ourself. My assignment was fine at first, but later turned out to being a total disaster. Why?
