What I learned <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In Project 2, I learned that color, and the right combination of colors, plays a big role in the appearance and cohesiveness of a design. The color wheel serves as a guide for graphic designers so that their colors do not clash. Prior to this project, I wasn’t aware of the different names for the methods of pairing color, such as triadic, analogous, and split complimentary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What was easy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I loved this project, especially the creative freedom to include pretty much anything we wanted in our designs. Overall, I had a smooth time using Figma and creating the shapes and figures I had envisioned. It was easy to keep thinking of ideas and objects I could add to my scenes to make them look more complete. Once I had my color schemes established, it was easy to play around with them to find the right tones, tints, and shades for each color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What was challenging?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For me, I was indecisive of which color scheme theory to apply to which landscape because there was a lot of freedom (a great thing!). I picked what made sense logically (example: tropical= turquoise and orange, seascape= analogous cool colors). I found it difficult to pick which landscape would be “Coolors generated” because I saved 15 different combinations I loved! The only real challenge was making up my mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How could my submission be improved?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I am pleased with how my landscapes turned out, but there is always room for improvement. I could improve my submission by adding even more depth to my Seascape and Outer Space landscapes. All of them could probably benefit from even more detail. In the future, I might try to make all my shapes by hand and avoid any icons in order to strengthen my skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How could the professor improve the assignment for the next class?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nothing I can think of, thank you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How might I apply my knowledge in future assignments or work scenarios?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I will certainly apply my new knowledge of color schemes in future assignments and work scenarios. Color is everywhere, on everything. If something isn’t cohesive color-wise, people are going to notice. I will keep in mind the color wheel and what colors best pair with each other when creating flyers, graphic design, social media posts, PowerPoints, and more. If I ever need inspiration for what colors to use to get going on a project, I can turn to the color wheel and the different scheme theories to get me started. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How did a specific reading or video inspire or help me?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I referenced “Color Theory for Designers, Part 3: How To Create Your Own Color Schemes” the most for this project. This article served as my go-to “dictionary” for what the different color scheme types were and how to create them. I paid attention to the examples where it pointed out that adjusted chroma gives the scheme more variety, and I incorporated this into my landscapes. I also noted for future use that neutral colors are important when creating your own color scheme. Black, white, grays, browns, and off-whites can appear warm or cool depending on their surrounding colors. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
