Category: 2017 – Communication Design

I’ve learned a ton of new information on how to achieve certain colors and experiment with contrast. These are the two most prominent ideas that I can refer to throughout the entire semester as we spent the most time with these two ideas. But overall this semester was an interesting start in the idea that is communication design.

It’s strange how barbaric people can become over simple disagreements over the internet. Although something like this could happen in person, it’s a much more chaotic scene when an opinion on something as small as this controversial image is introduced through a one-sided screen.

Mixing colors sounds like a very easy task to do but this project has so far shown me that it is very difficult to achieve mixed colors with gouache paints.

The article is mainly about associating an “ugly color” with cigarette packaging in order to drive people away from wanting to smoke cigarettes. This is also accompanied by very vivid and gross imagery of the harmful effects cigarettes have right next to this color.

One new thing that I learned about color is the association of “warm” and “cold” colors being considered as temperatures. Such as yellow, orange, and red are warm/ hot colors and purple along with tints of blue are considered cool/ cold colors.

I’ve learned about how different materials make shades of black and white look different.  Such as how magazine papers print out black and whites as opposed to painting them onto bristle paper.
