Understanding how to use it for visual communication in a variety of contexts is essential for designers and artists. This course is about learning how to use color, not only to create more effective designs, but also to tell a story. Illustrator, professor, and author Mary Jane Begin explains how color intertwines with brand identity, how it affects the mood of a piece and directs the viewer&#8217;s attention to areas of interest, and how it can connect images or create space between elements. She removes the mystery surrounding the color wheel and color relationships; shows how to layer, mix, and digitally alter color; and use light to integrate temperature, translucency, and contrast.<\/p>\n<p>These lessons are applicable to a number of fields, including graphic design, photography, and illustration, and both traditional and digital media. Dive in and get a fresh look at color that is sure to revitalize your creativity and your work.<\/p>\n<div class=\"course-description-topics\">Topics include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Understanding why color is essential for you as an artist, designer, or human being<\/li>\n<li>Storytelling with color<\/li>\n<li>Understanding brand identity and color language<\/li>\n<li>Reviewing the history of color usage, from print to digital<\/li>\n<li>Working with the color wheel<\/li>\n<li>Understanding value, saturation, and temperature<\/li>\n<li>Seeing through color: opaque, translucent, and transparent<\/li>\n<li>Creating contrast<\/li>\n<li>Exploring depth of field<\/li>\n<li>Seeing complementary relationships in light<\/li>\n<li>Achieving harmony and discord in a palette<\/li>\n<li>Understanding color blindness<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lynda.com\/Design-Color-tutorials\/Foundations-Color\/120601-2.html\">https:\/\/www.lynda.com\/Design-Color-tutorials\/Foundations-Color\/120601-2.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Color is a fundamental element of our lives.
