OUGD404 Colour Theory

OUGD404 Colour Theory


Today I began the new studio brief which would require me to create a book based upon my given halftone colour, which was sand dollar. Here is some of the notes I took during the colour theory talk.

  • Learning about colour, grids and layout
  • How am I using visual language to communicate my ideas?
  • 3 books that are linked
  • At least 3 elements of colour theory
  • Johannes Iten - The elements of colour
  • Josef Albers - Interaction of colour
  • Explanation of the concept and how it works
  • Blogs, how did I develop it, impact, act on comments, reflect critically
  • Hue - One colour
  • Colour - 1 or several hues
  • Chromatic value - Colour, tone and saturation
  • Chroma
  • Intensity, saturation or brilliance - relates to higher or lower degrees of vividness
  • Shades are hues and black
  • Tints are hues and white
  • Complimentary colours, opposite
  • Tone is adding greys
  • Pantone is a colour system used to define colour
  • Monochromatic scale - strip the colour away
  • Warm or cool, contrasts in temperature

  • To do list
  • Choose 3 colour theories
  • Write a list of research tasks to overview to present
  • Begin gathering ideas
