Review Week 8


Why must designers pay close attention to how color is utilized within a composition?
The right use of color in a design and can evoke the right feelings in an audience. It can also help to draw attraction to a design and properly convey the message that the design is communicating.
Why is the color wheel an important tool for graphic designers?
It provides graphic designers with all the colors that can be used in a design. It also helps to arrange good colors schemes.
Find an example of neutral colors utilized within a design (hint: google poster design). Near the sample, discuss why you feel the designer included neutral colors within the composition.

The usage of neutral colors helps to bring out the brightness of the green roofs. More importantly, it gives a more serious tone to the appearance of the city.


Briefly describe how we "see" the color of an object?


Whenever light hits an object, each wavelength is either reflected or absorbed by the object. The color wavelengths that are reflected back to our eye are the colors that we see. White is seen when all wavelengths are reflected back to the eye. Black is seen when all wavelengths are absorbed by an object.
